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 in any of the Summary, Lineups, or Timeline feeds. The attribute coverage - live reports if 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 competition?
The notion of “groups” is versatile and is used to distinguish between playoffs, and our competition structures and is therefore necessary to describe coverage at a group level for consistency. Generally, however, within a competition in Field Hockey, there will be no difference between competition coverage between conferences.
Integration
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

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.

cache-control: public, must-revalidate, max-age=120
