Q: What is the Date format?
A: 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
Q: What time zone are the date time fields presented in?
A: All of our Date/Time attributes are in UTC, presented in the ISO 8601 standard format.
ex: 2013-04-03T18:15:00+00:00

Q: Where does the data come from?
A: The odds used are created by Sportradar’s industry-leading trading team. Sportradar sells these odds to bookmakers; the odds tend to represent a middle-of-the-road line, as we do not want to expose our partners to liability. The odds of a game right at game start are stored and used to create insights (for example, the spread when the Lakers vs. Hawks tipped off was -7.5).
Q: How do you determine relevancy/interest score?
A: The relevancy calculation considers how long the streak is (for example, a team covering their last 10 games is more relevant than one covering their last 3 games), as well as how high a percentage the insight is (for example, a team being 10-1 as moneyline favorites (.909) is more relevant than a team being 8-2 (.800) as moneyline favorites). To begin with, insights are filtered so only the top ones are surfaced, and from there, the relevancy is appended.
Q: How do Market Insights work in the playoffs?
A: Playoff Market Insights will feature some insights that are just regular season, some that are just playoffs, and some that are a mix of both. The data_timeframe field indicates what kind of data comprises the insight. For regular season, only regular season data will be featured.
