Upcoming events and organization modes — one row per event

{
  "eventId": 113633,
  "name": "UFC 331 - Van vs. Pantoja 2",
  "url": "https://www.sherdog.com/events/UFC-331-Van-vs-Pantoja-2-113633",

  "mainEvent": "Joshua Van vs. Alexandre Pantoja",
  "scrapedAt": "2026-09-13T02:11:42.954Z"
}

Organization mode lists upcoming events first (soonest first), then past events (newest first). mainEvent is null when no card has been announced yet or Include main event is off.

Search mode — one row per matching fighter

{
  "fighterId": 56374,
  "name": "Israel Adesanya",
  "url": "https://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Israel-Adesanya-56374",
  "nickname": "The Last Stylebender",
  "height": "6'4\"",
  "heightCm": 193,
  "weight": "185 lbs",
  "weightKg": 83.91,
  "association": "City Kickboxing",
  "scrapedAt": "2026-09-13T02:13:53.311Z"
}

Search matches on both real names and nicknames, so a query like Adesanya also returns fighters nicknamed "Adesanya". Feed the url of the fighter you want into Fighter mode for the full record.

Pricing

You are billed per row returned: one fighter, one bout, one event or one search result. Use Max items to cap spend per run.

FAQ

Can I pass fighter names instead of URLs? Yes. Names are resolved through the fighter search; an exact name match is preferred, otherwise the closest match is used and logged. For fighters with common names, paste the Sherdog URL to be sure.

Does the event mode work for events that haven't happened yet? Yes — you get the announced matchups with each fighter's current record; result fields are null until the event is over.

How far back does the organization mode go? All the way. Past events are paginated 100 per page and the actor keeps going until it hits Max items or runs out of events.

Which promotions are covered? Every promotion listed on Sherdog — UFC, PFL, Bellator, ONE Championship, KSW, Cage Warriors, Rizin, regional shows and amateur cards.
