Getting Started

Connect to TRADE and start receiving real-time odds data

This guide walks you through connecting to TRADE's RabbitMQ feed and receiving real-time odds data.

---

Step 1: Get Your Credentials

Contact your Customer Success Manager (CSM) to receive:

Credential	Description
Username	Your account email
Password	Your account password
Package ID	Your unique subscription identifier

---

Step 2: Enable Your Distribution

Before consuming messages, enable your distribution:

Enable Distribution:

POST https://stm-api.lsports.eu/Distribution/Start

Request Body:

{
    "PackageId": "YOUR_PACKAGE_ID",
    "UserName": "YOUR_USERNAME",
    "Password": "YOUR_PASSWORD"
}

Response:

{
    "Header": {
        "HttpStatusCode": 200
    },
    "Body": {
        "Message": "Success"
    }
}

To disable distribution, use https://stm-api.lsports.eu/Distribution/Stop with the same request body.

Step 3: Connect to RabbitMQ

LSports uses RabbitMQ for real-time data streaming.

Connection Details

Parameter	Value
InPlay Host	inplay-rmq.lsports.eu
PreMatch Host	prematch-rmq.lsports.eu
Port	5672
Virtual Host	Customers
Queue Name	_YOUR_PACKAGE_ID_ (with underscores)

Quick Start (C#)

ConnectionFactory connectionFactory = new ConnectionFactory
{
    HostName = "inplay-rmq.lsports.eu",
    Port = 5672,
    UserName = "YOUR_USERNAME",
    Password = "YOUR_PASSWORD",
    AutomaticRecoveryEnabled = true,
    VirtualHost = "Customers",
    RequestedHeartbeat = 580,
    NetworkRecoveryInterval = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(1)
};

IConnection connection = connectionFactory.CreateConnection();
IModel model = connection.CreateModel();
model.BasicQos(prefetchSize: 0, prefetchCount: 100, global: false);

EventingBasicConsumer consumer = new EventingBasicConsumer(model);
consumer.Received += (sender, eventArgs) =>
{
    string message = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(eventArgs.Body);
    // Process message
};

model.BasicConsume(queue: "_YOUR_PACKAGE_ID_", noAck: true, consumer: consumer);

Step 4: Request Initial Snapshot

RabbitMQ delivers delta updates only. On your initial connection, request a one-time snapshot:

• InPlay Snapshot — Snapshot API

• PreMatch Events — Subscription API

---

Step 5: Map Your Data

Ensure your internal market mapping aligns with LSports' structure:

• Use the Metadata API to retrieve available markets

• Review Enumerations for status codes and field values

• See Message Structure for payload formats

---

Step 6: Stress Test

Before going live, perform a stress test:

1. Contact your CSM or Solution Engineer to schedule a test

2. Verify your system handles peak message volumes

3. Check latency and message processing times

---

Step 7: Go Live

Once testing is complete:

1. Contact your CSM to schedule a go-live date

2. We'll switch your account from testing to production

3. Your ordered quota will be activated

Congratulations! You're now live with TRADE.
