Hi,

That competition isn't available via the public open data I'm afraid.

You can try a different combination e.g. sb.matches(competition_id=9, season_id=27) which should be available. You can view the competitions available from the open-data here or via sb.competitions().

We're going to add something to make this more explicit for future reference.

Thanks.
