Receive your credentials and enable your data distribution
Receive your credentials from LSports, then enable your data distribution.
LSports will provide your login credentials: Username, Password, and Package ID. These identify your account and package when calling the Distribution API and connecting to RabbitMQ. Store them securely: you'll use them in both places.
Distribution must be explicitly enabled before you can consume messages. This is an API call, not a one-time toggle: you'll use the Start/Stop endpoints any time you need to pause or resume your feed, including as part of the recovery sequence covered in Reliability & Recovery.
Enable: https://stm-api.lsports.eu/Distribution/Start
Disable: https://stm-api.lsports.eu/Distribution/Stop
{
"PackageId": "YOUR_PACKAGE_ID",
"UserName": "YOUR_USERNAME",
"Password": "YOUR_PASSWORD"
}Once distribution is running, poll the Distribution Status API regularly rather than treating it as fire-and-forget: it's your earliest warning that something on your consumption side is falling behind.
Polling frequency
Every ~5 seconds, within rate limits
Distribution active status
Should read true; false means distribution has stopped and you must start the recovery sequence in Reliability & Recovery
Consumers connected
Shows how many consumers are attached to your queue; confirms your consumer is actually connected and helps spot unexpected extra or missing consumers
Messages per second
Baseline this so you can spot drops or spikes
Messages in queue
The critical metric, see thresholds below
0 messages
Target state: you're consuming as fast as data arrives
500+ messages (5-second window)
Investigate consumer performance immediately
10,000 unconsumed messages
Queue auto-shuts down: suspend trading and run full recovery
Next: Connection Setup
