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.

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 Volleyball, there will be no difference between competition coverage between conferences.

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
