Coverage

What leagues do you cover, and at what level?

Coverage information can be found via our Coverage Matrix.

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

Find the node called coverage_info in the Sport Event Timeline endpoint. The attribute live_coverage reports whether Sportradar has live coverage of the match or not.

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.

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 and is therefore necessary to describe coverage at a group level for consistency.

How long are matches stored in the deleted/updated matches endpoints?

The deleted/updated matches endpoints will show sport events removed or updated in the last 2 weeks.

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/darts/trial/v2/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

Past Season Data

How do I access past seasons’ results and stats?

TournamentID and SeasonID are interchangeable. To access a previous season, first interrogate the tournaments/{tournamentID}/seasons endpoint to ascertain the required seasonID, then use that seasonID in place of the tournamentID for any of the following endpoints:

• tournaments/seasonID/results
• tournaments/seasonID/schedule
• tournaments/seasonID/teams/teamID/statistics
• tournaments/seasonID/standings

Season Behavior

Why is the displayed season end date a day late?

This is a measure to ensure that all matches in a season are contained within the season date range.

A season will become active once the draw has been made and there is confirmation of the competitors and the 1st round schedule.
