Tracking Data Adjustments and Updates

Introduction

In the Unrivaled API, data may be updated or revised. Changes can occur due to:

• Schedule Adjustments
• Postgame Stat Revisions
• Standings
• Player Details

To help you stay up to date without exceeding your call limits, the API offers the Daily Change Log endpoint. This feed lists the IDs and timestamps of modified teams, players, game statistics, schedules, and standings for a given date.
