Fetching data from nba.com/stats/transactions/

Is there a method in the nba-api package which allows querying the endpoint for data regarding transactions between teams (https://www.nba.com/stats/transactions/)?

I didn't look, but no need for that package. Just get that data directly:

import pandas as pd  
import requests

url = 'https://www.nba.com/stats/js/data/playermovement/NBA_Player_Movement.json'
jsonData = requests.get(url).json()

df = pd.DataFrame(jsonData['NBA_Player_Movement']['rows'])

Output:

print(df)
