# Get a game with positions, officials, payments

> Positions embed `official` and `payment`. ⚠️ A position's `official` is independent of its `status`: a `cancelled` position can retain a populated `official` (organizer marked a no-show and completed the game — the slot is cancelled unpaid but the claim is kept for the record). Read defensively.

  title: Whistle Partner API
  version: 1.0.0
  summary: >-
    Server-to-server REST API for Whistle — post games, manage officials, track
    payouts.
  description: >-
    Whistle's v1 partner API lets league management systems and partner
    automations create leagues and games, add and assign sports officials, read
    the payout ledger, and receive webhooks. All requests require a partner API
    key (`Authorization: Bearer whk_…`). Responses use a consistent envelope:
    success is `{"data": …}`, failure is `{"error": "<code>"}`.


    **Scoping:** partner keys are bound to a `source` namespace. A key reads and
    mutates only leagues whose `source` matches (plus leagues explicitly granted
    to it), and webhook endpoints it registered. Out-of-scope resources answer
    `404` identically to nonexistent ones — "not yours" and "not there" are
    deliberately indistinguishable. Write `source` is derived from the key: omit
    the field or echo your own value; any other value returns `400
    source_mismatch`.


    **Contract stability:** v1 response field shapes, status strings, and
    webhook event names are additive-only. Breaking changes ship as `/api/v2` —
    v1 is never mutated in place.


    **Idempotency:** `source` + `externalId` form the upsert key on leagues,
    games, and officials. Re-posting the same `(source, externalId)` updates
    instead of duplicating. Re-using a game `externalId` under a different
    league returns `409 external_id_conflict`.


    **Money:** requests take dollars (`payDollars`); responses return both
    integer cents (`payCents`, `amountCents`) and dollars. **Time:** all
    timestamps are ISO 8601 UTC (`2026-07-09T18:00:00.000Z`).


    List endpoints are not paginated and take no filter parameters (except
    `?limit=` on webhook deliveries). The API has no CORS support — it is
    server-to-server only.
