Coverage

What leagues do you cover, and at what level?

Coverage information can be found via our Coverage Matrix.

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.

What format are date fields presented in?

Date values are presented in the ISO 8601 standard format.

Timestamp fields are in UTC. These could include scheduled start times or play-by-play event timestamps. Examples: scheduled="2024-02-11T23:30:00+00:00", created_at="2024-02-11T23:43:20+00:00"

Date-only fields reflect local league convention and are not UTC-adjusted. These could include season start dates and birth dates. Examples: start_date="2024-08-16", date_of_birth="1984-09-22"

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

Probabilities

What are markets, and which ones are available?

A market represents a betting option for which we provide probability data. Over time, additional markets may be added to the API.

Currently, we offer one market: 3-way, which indicates the probability of each possible outcome — home win, away win, or draw.

What are the valid outcomes for probabilities?
