Details
Endpoint: POST https://www.khl.ru/rest/players/profile/.
khl.ru REST needs a primed session (a GET of the site root sets the cookie jar and the Bitrix
sessid, then each call POSTs a form); this is done for you, one session per host per R session,
re-primed when the site rotates its cookie or the sessid expires. No route takes a year:
season (the END year, 2026 = 2025/26) and stage are mapped to the tournament id (tnId)
through the webcaster season table, or pass tournament_id (the All-Star games have their own
tnId).
Ids and counts are integers (sdv-py Int64); a column holding values past 2^31 (epoch milliseconds) is returned as a whole-number double.
At least one second is left between two requests to a host.
Owner flag (sanctions). The KHL and its webcaster platform are run by Russian operators, some clubs by sanctioned state companies. Fetching on your own machine is fine; any published data release, hosted mirror or redistribution needs owner (sanctions / legal) sign-off first.
