#### About period\_scores <a href="#uofapi-less-than-period_scores-greater-than-aboutperiod_scores" id="uofapi-less-than-period_scores-greater-than-aboutperiod_scores"></a>

The period scores element and its sub-element period score are present in the 'summary' endpoint and in the 'timeline' endpoint and they are extremely significant as they report the results for the match.

This is useful information for those matches which are not covered live.

Each period score element provides info about the outcome of a part of the match which can be different according to the sport. The example provides the result of a soccer match with 2 regular half times, over time, and penalties with related scores.
