Sports Data API Feeds Integration

Frequently asked questions

• HOW OFTEN IS YOUR FEED UPDATED / HOW FAST AND RESPONSIVE IS YOUR FEED?

  After the initial dump, PUSH requests ensure that data is pushed by the server to the client as soon as a change happens in our system. PULL requests have a configurable limit of 30 seconds between consecutive update requests from the client.

• DO YOU OFFER AUTOMATIC SETTLEMENTS?

  Our Outcome Settlement monitors sports-match events in real-time to fully automatically determine the result of every betting outcome as early as possible. This drives the automatic settlement to 99.99% of the bets within the OddsMatrix Sportsbook platform and our data feeds.

• HOW DO YOU PROVIDE YOUR DATA?

  After the clients agree on the packaging and request a trial account, our reliable Tech Support Team support clients to go to production. The system uses PULL (via HTTP requests) and PUSH (via TCP socket) APIs. You connect to the feed and the server starts sending you our system data for your account configuration, we call that the initial data dump, once that is finished, any change that happens in the system will be sent to you as an update if you remain connected to the feed and keep reading the data.

• DOES PUSH ALLOW REQUESTING ONLY SHORT SNIPPETS OF SELECT DATA?

  The feed only allows getting the data configured into the account, the structure is that of a raw data feed and it does not provide data similar to a REST API.

• WHAT PROGRAMMING LANGUAGES DO YOU SUPPORT FOR THE CONNECTIONS?

  We provide connector applications in different languages (Java, C#, JavaScript, PHP) with the additional option of providing support for clients in case they choose to develop their own connector application with a different programming language.

• WHAT IS YOUR FEEDS’ FORMAT?

  The standard format is an XML feed. A JSON format is also an option but requires the client to create the connector app on their end.

• HOW DO YOUR APIS WORK?

  We provide flexible and well-documented sports data APIs, which allow parameters to be modified from our end as per the clients’ needs.

• DO YOU OFFER REAL-TIME, API-BASED MATCH DATA WIDGETS?

  Yes, we can offer our own match data widget for football and tennis, which can be easily integrated on the event page. We can also provide 3rd-party widgets from trusted partners such as Statscore for traditional sports.

• HOW DO YOU MANAGE CONFIGURATIONS FOR NEW LEAGUES AND COMPETITIONS?

  We offer inherited configurations: when a new league or competition is created, it will inherit the configurations from the sports it belongs to.
