# Keep Alive

Keep-alive messages are sent every 30 seconds and contain an array of live fixture IDs, **scoped to your in-play packages** - only fixtures you have ordered, and **only those with markets based on your odds settings configuration**. This message is used for discrepancy tests: you can compare the `ActiveEvent` list against your own records to detect missing or unexpected fixtures. The following fixture statuses are **included** in the Keep Alive message:

* **NSY** (Not Started Yet)
* **InProgress**
* **Postponed**
* **Interrupted**
* **LostCoverage**
* **AboutToStart**

`Note: When there are no events available (no orders/no live events), an empty KeepAlive message will be sent.`
