We use these for attributes that have date and no time (such as birthdate). For more information: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601

What are the valid sport_event_status – status values?

Here are the valid status values and their definitions:

• not_started – The match is scheduled to be played
• started – The match has begun
• live – The match is currently in progress
• postponed – The match has been postponed to a future date
• suspended – The match has been suspended
• match_about_to_start – The match is about to begin
• delayed – The match has been temporarily delayed and will be continued

• ended – The match is over

How do I access past seasons’ result and stats?

TournamentID and SeasonID are interchangeable. To access a previous season, first interrogate the tournaments/[tournamentID]/seasons endpoint to ascertain the required seasonID, then use that seasonID in place of the tournamentID for any of the following endpoints:

• Tournaments/seasonID/results
• Tournaments/seasonID/schedule
• Tournaments/seasonID/teams/teamID/statistics
• Tournaments/seasonID/standings

What are the valid outcomes for probabilities?

Here are the valid outcome probabilities:

• home_team_winner
• away_team_winner

How do I find out the coverage for a particular match?

Find the node called “coverage_info” in the Sport Event Timeline endpoint. The attribute live_coverage reports whether Sportradar has live coverage of the match or not.

Why do different groups have coverage information for a tournament?

The notion of “groups” is versatile and is used to distinguish between playoffs, and our tournaments structures and is therefore necessary to describe coverage at a group level for consistency.

What are the possible event types logged?

Here are all of the possible event types we log:

• match_started
• period_start
• break_start
• period_score
• score_change
• match_ended

What are the valid tournament types?

Here are the valid tournament types:

• group
• playoff

What are markets and what are the different markets?

Markets is something you can bet on that we provide probabilities for. Over time we intend to provide more and more markets in the API. Currently the only market we provide is 3-way (will the home team win? Or the away team? Or will it be a draw?)

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.

What are the possible outcomes?

Different markets have different outcomes. The available markets are currently:

• home_team_winner
• away_team_winner
