General Information

Purpose

In the following you will find our Quick Start Guide, which will enable you to get our Sim-Play Sports for the Live Match Tracker via the Unified Feed up and running quickly and to visualize the game play.

If you have any questions, please contact our 24/7/365 support team. They will be glad to assist you via email at [email protected].

Product names and abbreviations

Our Sim-Play products were formerly known as Virtual In-Play sports. Therefore, some of the terms and abbreviations had to stay the same for backward compatibility:

  • Sim-Play ATP Legends and Sim-Play Tennis are referred to as VTI

  • Sim-Play Cricket is referred to as VCI

  • Sim-Play Baseball is referred to as VBI

We believe the name Sim-Play better represents the unique live nature of our products, aligning them more closely with real sports and enhancing your integration experience.

Sim-Play ATP Legends and Sim-Play Tennis are two distinct tennis products. While both products share the same producer ID, they have different tournament IDs.

Access to each product requires clients to have the equivalent packages.

Requirements

To integrate Sim-Play Sports using this Quick Start Guide, please ensure the following:

  • You have an existing Unified Feed integration either direct or via SDK.

  • We recommend utilizing the most recent SDK version at all times.

All the producers can always be checked on the Available Producers endpoint of the API or via ProducerManager (Java) / ProducersProvider (.NET) interfaces in the SDK. Each message in the feed contains the information about the producer, so it's easy to identify.
