# List Matches

> Bucketed list of live, upcoming, and finished CS2 matches

## What it returns

Without `?status`: a bucketed list — live matches first, then upcoming, then finished. With a status filter, only that bucket comes back, sorted appropriately. Phantom 0-0 finished/cancelled rows are filtered out — only matches that actually played are returned.

Each row carries the basic match shape (id, teams, event, status, scheduled\_at, live score). Internal fields like integration IDs and `data_delay_seconds` only come through if your key has `cs2:matches:internals`.

## Required scope

* **Minimum:** `cs2:matches:list`

## Common queries

| Goal              | Query                            |
| ----------------- | -------------------------------- |
| Live now          | `?status=live`                   |
| Upcoming next 24h | `?status=upcoming`               |
| Recently finished | `?status=finished`               |
| Just count        | `?limit=1` and read `meta.total` |

## Example

```bash theme={null}
curl -H "X-API-Key: $TT_KEY" \
  "https://ticktock.bet/cs2/v1/matches?status=live&limit=20"
```

```json theme={null}
