Details
Endpoint: GET https://khl.api.webcaster.pro/api/khl_mobile/leaders_v2.json.
The webcaster API is keyless JSON. Neither backend takes a year: season (the END year, 2026 =
2025/26) and stage are mapped to the webcaster stage id through the season table of
khl_webcaster_stages() (cached for the R session), or pass stage_id. Honours
getOption("fastRhockey.proxy"); betting fields and the caller's IP are removed from every body.
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.
