Monitoring Data Changes

This integration scenario explains how to keep a local store in sync with the Tennis API: detecting new fixtures, catching schedule changes, pruning removed matches, and repointing merged competitor IDs.

This scenario is commonly used to:

Keep a match database consistent without full re-pulls
Detect newly scheduled fixtures as draws and qualifying resolve
Remove fixtures that will no longer be played
Maintain player identity through competitor merges

Overview

Tennis schedules churn constantly: qualifying creates fixtures daily, weather reshuffles order of play, and occasional duplicates are cleaned up. Three change feeds report fixture-level changes so you can reconcile incrementally, and a merge-mappings feed covers competitor identity. Poll them on a steady cadence and apply their contents to your store.

Relevant Feeds

Feed	Purpose
Sport Events Created	Newly created fixtures, with creation timestamps
Sport Events Updated	Fixtures whose data changed
Sport Events Removed	Fixtures deleted from the schedule
Competitor Merge Mappings	Competitor IDs merged into a retained ID

High-Level Workflow

Change Reconciliation LoopNew, changed, removed, and merged: apply all four on a steady cadence

NewSport Events Created→fetch summaries→upsert

ChangedSport Events Updated→re-pull listed matches

RemovedSport Events Removed→prune from your store

IdentityCompetitor Merge Mappings→repoint to the retained id

An hourly loop is enough for most products; tighten during major events.

Integration Steps

1. Ingest New Fixtures

Sport Events Created lists recently created matches with created_at and whether they belong to an active season. Fetch each new ID's Sport Event Summary to fill in context:

GET https://api.sportradar.com/tennis/{access_level}/v3/{language_code}/sport_events/created.{format}

{
  "generated_at": "2026-07-27T21:50:26+00:00",
  "sport_events_created": [
    {
      "id": "sr:sport_event:73183528",
      "active_season": true,
      "created_at": "2026-07-26T22:52:21+00:00"
    },
    {
      "id": "sr:sport_event:73183532",
      "active_season": true,
      "created_at": "2026-07-26T22:58:52+00:00"
    },
    {
      "id": "sr:sport_event:73183534",
      "active_season": true,
      "created_at": "2026-07-26T22:58:54+00:00"
    }
  ]
}

2. Refresh Changed Fixtures

Sport Events Updated lists fixtures whose data changed; re-pull each listed match. An empty list is the normal quiet state:

4. Repoint Merged Competitors

When one player has existed under two IDs, Competitor Merge Mappings records the merge. Repoint stored references from the merged ID to the retained ID:

Common Use Cases

Fixture database: all three change feeds on an hourly loop, with summaries fetched for new and updated IDs.
Draw tracking during qualifying: the created feed surfaces main-draw fixtures as qualifiers advance.
Data hygiene: removed IDs and merge mappings applied nightly keep long-lived stores clean.

Best Practices

Poll the change feeds at the cadence in Update Frequencies: hourly is enough for most products, tightening during major events.
Apply removals and merges promptly; stale IDs surface as broken links in bracket and player views.
Track your high-water mark with created_at timestamps so restarts do not re-process the whole window.
The change feeds cover fixtures and identities, not scores: live scores flow through the live feeds, and rankings refresh on their own schedule.
