# Resolve a provider ID to all other IDs

`GET /resolve`

> **Deprecated.**

**Deprecated.** Prefer `POST /batch/resolve` — it accepts a one-element `items`
array and supports the `targets` parameter for response narrowing. This endpoint
remains functional but is not the recommended path for new integrations.

Given a provider name and ID, find the entity and return all cross-provider IDs.
Provider namespaces are not globally type-unique, so `type` is available when you
need to disambiguate IDs that exist across multiple entity classes.

## Query parameters

- `provider` 'wikidata' | 'transfermarkt' | 'transfermarkt_manager' | 'fbref' | 'fbref_verified' | 'soccerway' | 'sofascore' | 'flashscore' | 'opta' | 'opta_numeric' | 'optacore' | 'premier_league' | '11v11' | 'espn' | 'national_football_teams' | 'worldfootball' | 'soccerbase' | 'kicker' | 'uefa' | 'lequipe' | 'fff_fr' | 'serie_a' | 'besoccer' | 'footballdatabase_eu' | 'eu_football_info' | 'hugman' | 'german_fa' | 'statmuse_pl' | 'sofifa' | 'soccerdonna' | 'dongqiudi' | 'playmakerstats' | 'understat' | 'whoscored' | 'clubelo' | 'sportmonks' | 'api_football' | 'fotmob' | 'thesportsdb' | 'impect' | 'wyscout' | 'skillcorner' | 'heimspiel' | 'capology', required — Name of a supported data provider. Sourced from `VALID_PROVIDERS` in the worker. Update this list whenever a new provider is added.
- `id` string, required
- `type` 'player' | 'team' | 'coach' | 'competition' | 'season' | 'match'

## Response `200`

Resolved entity with all provider IDs

- LookupResponse
  - `results` Entity[]
    - `reep_id` string — Universal Reep ID (reep_<type_prefix><8hex>). This is the canonical identifier.
    - `qid` string, nullable — Wikidata QID (convenience field, null for entities not in Wikidata)
    - `type` 'player' | 'team' | 'coach' | 'competition' | 'season' | 'match'
    - `name_en` string
    - `aliases_en` string, nullable
    - `full_name` string, nullable
    - `date_of_birth` string, nullable
    - `nationality` string, nullable
    - `position` string, nullable — Coarse position (forward, midfielder, defender, goalkeeper). Players only.
    - `position_detail` string, nullable — Granular position from Transfermarkt (e.g. Centre-Back, Attacking Midfield, Right Winger). Players only.
    - `current_team_reep_id` string, nullable — Reep ID of current team (players only)
    - `height_cm` number, nullable
    - `country` string, nullable — For teams only
    - `founded` string, nullable — For teams only
    - `stadium` string, nullable — For teams only
    - `competition_reep_id` string, nullable — For seasons only — Reep ID of the parent competition
    - `match_date` string, nullable — For matches only — ISO date of the fixture
    - `kickoff_utc` string, nullable — For matches only — ISO kickoff timestamp when known
    - `home_team_reep_id` string, nullable — For matches only — Reep ID of the home team
    - `away_team_reep_id` string, nullable — For matches only — Reep ID of the away team
    - `home_score` integer, nullable — For matches only — final home score when known
    - `away_score` integer, nullable — For matches only — final away score when known
    - `round_label` string, nullable — For matches only — provider round label
    - `referee` string, nullable — For matches only
    - `attendance` integer, nullable — For matches only
    - `season_label` string, nullable — For matches only — provider-native season label when no canonical season mapping exists
    - `source` string — Provenance (wikidata, opta, etc.)
    - `external_ids` object — Map of provider name to external ID (includes wikidata QID)
    - `_deprecated` boolean — Present and `true` when the client asked for a `reep_id` that has been retired. The body carries the canonical entity's fields; the `_canonical_id` meta tells the client the underlying `reep_id` has moved. Provider-id paths (e.g. `?id=Q42`) redirect silently and do NOT set this field.
    - `_canonical_id` string, nullable — When `_deprecated=true`, the canonical successor `reep_id`. Null on a retirement (entity removed with no successor — a 410 Gone body).
    - `_deprecated_at` string — ISO timestamp when the retired `reep_id` was soft-deleted.
    - `_deprecated_reason` 'retired' | 'chain_depth_exceeded' | 'canonical_missing' — Present on error-shape deprecation responses (410 Gone body). `retired` = no successor. The other two are defensive fallbacks that should not surface in normal operation.
  - `count` integer

## Other responses

- `400` — Missing provider or id parameter
- `409` — Multiple entities share the same provider ID across different types
