Season matches

Parameters

Name	What it does	Example
`id`path, required	The ID in the path.	ss_1VSX6S8
`page`int, optional	Page number, 50 matches a page. The response says how many pages there are.	1

Any other parameter is refused with a 422 naming the ones this endpoint takes, so a typo never silently returns everything.

`season`	ID and name
`count, page, pages, total`	As in List matches

Errors you can get

Status	Code	When
`400`	`key_in_address`	The key was put in the address. Send it in a header (see Authentication).
`401`	`missing_key`	No Authorization: Bearer header, or the key was rotated (invalid_key, revoked_key).
`403`	`plan_required`	Your plan is below Archive.
`404`	`not_found`	No season with that ID (bad_id if it is not in our format).
