Livescore important notes
PreMatch package subscribers will only receive the final Livescore after the fixture has ended. Real-time LiveScore updates during an event are exclusive to InPlay package subscribers.
Periods, scores, statistics, and time MAY be reverted due to mistakes made by the data providers.
The current total score of the event can be found under the Scoreboard element. The score for every individual period can be found within the Period elements.
Note: Every period contains the score relevant to that period aloneAs a part of our data quality improvement, new periods and statistical types may be added all the time. Make sure your system is dynamic enough to cope with unidentified types.
A loss of coverage will occur if we are not able to provide data for an event due to technical difficulties or faulty data.
Note: Should a loss of coverage occur – all bets will be suspended.There are several events where we offer live up to 30 minutes before the event’s actual start time. Those events will be sent with the status “9”, which indicates that the event is about to start. The status is the attribute of the Scoreboard element.
The period type “80” stands for “BreakTime”. This period applies to ANY break during the live event. The type of the break will be in the Description attribute of the Scoreboard element, as seen below:
<Scoreboard Status="2" CurrentPeriod="80" Description=”1” Time="2700">
<Score Position="1">2</Score>
<Score Position="2">1</Score>
</Scoreboard>Football
Time
Time direction will be ascending until the end of the half.
During halftime, the time will always be 2700 seconds.
