# Read points for multiple matches

POST https://api.datafortennis.com/v1/points/batch
Content-Type: application/json

Single pinned snapshot ordered by match ID and point sequence. Byte truncation returns a continuation. Every requested match retains explicit availability. Existing credentials keep their row/byte budgets.

Reference: https://docs.datafortennis.com/api-reference/batch-points

## Authentication

- `Authorization` header (bearer token, required) — Private development credential: keyId.secret; rotate/revoke through the offline operations CLI.

## Request

### Headers

- `Idempotency-Key` (string, optional) — Optional client logical-operation identifier. Scoped to principal, channel and operation class. A different canonical request conflicts; expired replay returns 410. RapidAPI retries without this stable identifier are separate attempts/operations.

### Body (application/json)

This endpoint expects an object.

- `match_ids` (list of string, required)
- `release` (string, optional)
- `cursor` (string, optional)
- `limit` (integer, optional)

## Response

### 200

Pinned release data. Missing families return an empty array and coverage reasons.

- `data` (list of BatchPointsResponseDataItems, required)
- `meta` (BatchPointsResponseMeta, required, nullable)
- `page` (BatchPointsResponsePage, required, nullable)
- `error` (BatchPointsResponseError, required, nullable)
