Soccer APIs - Hydration Break Events

We’ve added support for hydration breaks in our Soccer API.

Use these two new event types in our Soccer Timeline endpoints to determine the start and end of each hydration break.

• water_break_start
• water_break_end

⭐ Benefit

Integrate these event types to ensure your soccer product is compatible with the new hydration breaks for the World Cup, and other international competitions.
