How this service works
Grounded player card with performance context and narrative.
Output
A structured player card object containing the resolved player identity (player_urn, resolved_player), performance context grounded in tournament data, and a narrative summary. If the player name is ambiguous, returns a list of candidates for disambiguation.
Example use cases
Pre-match player briefing for broadcaster
“Give me the player spotlight for Kylian Mbappé before France's next match — I need his performance context and a narrative summary I can reference on air.”
Fantasy team research
“Pull up the player card for Bukayo Saka at the 2026 World Cup so I can see his tournament performance context before I make my fantasy picks.”
Journalist player profile lookup
“I'm writing a piece on Pedri — can you get me a grounded player spotlight with his World Cup performance narrative and stats context?”
Technical details
Endpoint
POSThttps://agents.machina.gg/world-cup/v1/skills/player-spotlightWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need a rich, narrative-style player card combining resolved identity, tournament performance context, and editorial prose for a specific World Cup 2026 player. Prefer this over the raw `Player performance context` endpoint when you want the combined spotlight (identity + context + narrative) in one call rather than assembling it yourself. Best for journalists, broadcasters, fantasy analysts, or agent workflows that need a human-readable player summary grounded in live tournament data.
Side effects
- Ambiguous player name returns a `candidates` array instead of a single card — caller must re-submit with a team name to disambiguate
- Unknown player name returns a not-found error
- Missing required `player` field returns a validation error
- Payment failure (402) if account has insufficient balance
- Service unavailable or upstream Machina Sports API error (5xx)
