API Notes and troubleshooting

Follow the below limitations and restrictions while working with LSports API

Be advised of the following limitations:

• 2500 requests within 5 minutes per IP

We highly recommend using only filtered requests, otherwise, 'full' requests can take longer to retrieve, and in some cases, you won't be able to retrieve requests at all due to the vast amount of data.

Here are examples of "full" and "filtered" requests

Full - http://prematch.lsports.eu/OddService/GetFixtures?username=YourEmail&Password=YourPassword&guid=3faaa32d-662b-4135-b1e2-38454263dcad

Filtered - http://prematch.lsports.eu/OddService/GetFixtures?username=YourEmail&Password=YourPassword&guid=3fa1a30d-662b-4135-b1e2-38454263dcad&sports=6046&location=242

API data preservation:

• How long do we keep data available for Prematch? - 36 Hours as of the event's final status.

• How long do we keep data available for the Inplay snapshot? - 8 Hours as of the event's final status.

Handling Special Characters in GET Requests

When making GET requests via the browser, encoding special characters is important. Failure to do so will result in the request failing. Ensure all special characters are properly encoded before sending the request.
