Coverage


What leagues or tournaments do you cover for Aussie Rules Football?

We cover the AFL tournament.


How do I find out the coverage for a particular match?

Within the Summaries and Timeline feeds, find the node for coverage. Coverage nodes have two types: season level and sport_event level.

  • The season level describes data coverage you can expect for matches involved in that given season.
  • The sport_event level describes the data depth of a specific match within the group and season.

Note: There are occasions when the sport_event coverage can vary from the anticipated season coverage. This node exists to highlight that in that event to assist in handling any discrepancies.


Why do different groups have coverage information for a tournament?

The notion of “groups” is versatile and is used to distinguish between playoffs and our tournaments structures. Therefore, it is necessary to describe coverage at a group level for consistency.


How will a sport event behave when it is not covered with live scores?

When a sport_event is not covered live, the status and match_status will remain as not_started until results are entered post-match.


Integration


How can I find the values for various enum data points within the API?

Many enum values are listed in the FAQ below. For the most up-to-date values, please see the Schema section of the OpenAPI specification here: https://api.sportradar.com/australianrules/trial/v3/openapi/swagger/index.html


What format are date fields presented in?

When we present date only values we present these in the ISO 8601 standard format.

ex: 2013-04-03

We use these for attributes that have date and no time (such as birthdate). For more information: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601


What format are the date/time fields presented in?

All of our Date/Time attributes are in UTC, presented in the ISO 8601 standard format.

ex: 2013-04-03T18:15:00+00:00

For more information: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601


How do I locate the TTL (Time to Live)/cache on an API endpoint?

The cache (in seconds) can be accessed in the returned header information on each RESTful API call, under cache-control.

ex. cache-control: max-age=1, public, s-maxage=1 or
cache-control: public, must-revalidate, max-age=120
