We can get the best 20 players for a league or cup using the **top scorers endpoint**. This endpoint provides the players' information and their statistics including number of appearances, number of shots taken, number of goals scored, etc. The base URI for this endpoint is `https://v3.football.api-sports.io/players/topscorers`.

This endpoint is updated several times per week.
