Integration

How do I distinguish between pre-match and live probabilities?

Live probabilities are denoted by the attribute live="true".

<markets>
  <market name="2way" last_updated="2019-03-05T01:54:53+00:00">
   <outcomes>
     <outcome name="home_team_winner" probability="66.3"/>
     <outcome name="away_team_winner" probability="33.7"/>
   </outcomes>
 </market>
 <market name="2way" live="true" last_updated="2019-03-05T13:57:32+00:00">
   <outcomes>
     <outcome name="home_team_winner" probability="44.7"/>
     <outcome name="away_team_winner" probability="55.3"/>
   </outcomes>
 </market>
</markets>

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
