Polling limits

IMG Arena monitor the incoming traffic from our customers and strive to ensure that traffic is controlled, in-keeping with our guidelines and not unnecessarily excessive. We would suggest a polling rate of 10 requests per second measured over a 5 minute interval. Note that this rate limit is across all of our legacy sports and endpoints. If you break this late limit, your requests will start to get throttled, for more information, please contact [email protected]

We recommend the following frequency for your REST requests to ensure that you have the most up-to-date information at all times:

REST Endpoint	Frequency
https://dde-api.data.imgarena.com/golf/tournaments	Every 12hours
https://dde-api.data.imgarena.com/golf/tournaments/{id}/schedule	Every minute for the upcoming tournament
https://dde-api.data.imgarena.com/golf/tournaments/{tournamentId}/entrylist	Every minute for the upcoming tournament
https://dde-api.data.imgarena.com/golf/players	Every 12hours
https://dde-api.data.imgarena.com/golf/tournaments/liveevents	Every second when tournament is live

For golf, the initial schedule is received on a Tuesday (2 days before the tournament starts) which will contain the the tee times/groups for rounds 1 and 2. The tee times/groups for rounds 3 and 4 will be released once play for day 2 and 3 are complete. We recommend that you pull the schedule endpoint every Tuesday for the upcoming tournament every minute and after player has finished post round 2 and 3.
