# Technical Integration

## Step 1: Access Credentials

Get your Username, Password, and CustomerPackageId from your CSM.

You will receive access to three RabbitMQ virtual hosts:

* `/fixtures` – pre-event metadata
* `/Inplay_Tips` – real-time tips (added/removed)
* `/Prematch_Tips` – tips for future games (fixtures) (added/removed)

***

## Step 2: Queue Provisioning

For each vhost, LSports provisions a queue per customer.

**Queue name (all vhosts):** `_{CustomerPackageId}_`

**Encoding:** UTF-8 JSON

**Transport:** AMQP 0-9-1 over TLS (port 5671)

***

## Step 3: Establish Connections

**Host:** `engage.lsports.eu` **Port:** 5671 (AMQP 0-9-1 over TLS)

Open three AMQP connections (one per vhost) and consume from the same queue name on each vhost:

* `/fixtures` → `_{CustomerPackageId}_`
* `/Inplay_Tips` → `_{CustomerPackageId}_`
* `/Prematch_Tips` → `_{CustomerPackageId}_`

Integration examples in C#, Python, and Java appear under Code Samples below.

## Step 4: Data Mapping

### Fixtures

Subscribe to `/fixtures` and persist by `body.fixtureId`.

* Delta updates only (messages are sent only on change).
* Use add or update: unknown fixture ⇒ add; known fixture ⇒ update changed fields.

### Inplay\_Tips

Subscribe to `/Inplay_Tips` and correlate by `body.fixtureId` against your fixtures store.

* Two message kinds: Added (1) and Removed (2).
* For Added, you get full tip objects; for Removed, you get IDs to remove.

### Prematch\_Tips

Subscribe to `/Prematch_Tips` and correlate by `body.fixtureId` against your fixtures store.

* Two message kinds: Added (1) and Removed (2).
* For Added, you get full tip objects; for Removed, you get IDs to remove.
