# Seasons

The Seasons API lets developers list and manage competition seasons. This is a gateway into the Fixtures API.

Applications don't need any input to list all seasons, however information can be filtered by start date and end date. The result is useful for obtaining competiton Ids, season Ids, and stage Ids.
