No API key is required for these endpoints, but treat them as unofficial and undocumented by the NHL itself
Known gotchas
The NHL retired its older statsapi.web.nhle.com endpoints around 2023 in favor of api-web.nhle.com — older tutorials/code referencing the old host will not work
There is no official published documentation; community-maintained reference repos can lag behind real API changes
Endpoint shapes and availability can change without notice since this isn't a contractually supported public API — build in defensive parsing
