Existing v New Pricing Service Differences

This page aims to outline the key differences between the Mustard Pricing Service and the New IMGA (DL Trading) service which will be live and ready for integration on 15th May 2025 for US PGA Championship. Please note that the existing Mustard pricing service will run in parallel at this time. Each specific section in this wider documentation includes specific area changes but this page summarises those key changes at a high level:

  1. IMGA will keep a large proportion of the subscription messages and feed formats from the existing price service the same but there will be a change in the connection URL as well as credentials (SSH key pair)

  2. Upon generating the SSH key pair, send an e-mail to [email protected]envelope with a specified username to connect to the SSH Feed, along with your public key attached and preferred margination type (MARGINATED PRICES or TRUE_ODDS).

  3. Upon testing the connection you will be prompted to connect to an IMGA url (rather than Mustard). Examples below (may be subject to a minor change)

Staging (we support port 22 and 2093)

ssh -i [generated private key file path] [username]@golf-odds-distribution.staging.imgarena.dev -p 22

Prod (we support port 22 and 2093)

ssh -i [generated private key file path] [username]@golf-odds-distribution.services.imgarena.com -p 22
  1. We are introducing a new feedback message to the init command

{
  "mode": "resp",
  "status": "session initialized",
  "session_id": "66193235-937c-4591-a301-33d7251ce8b6",
  "publish_time": "2014-01-01 22:22:22.123456",
  "reason": null
}
  1. Our heartbeat messages will contain a publish_time value in the message

  2. We will be replacing all Mustard ids (tournaments/players) with IMGA (DDE Ids) for those directly integrated with the backend SSH Mustard service already from 15th May. For those integrated with the OpenBet Trading System Platform from a game state point of view, the participants will have an OpenBet Id. Given the current contract between IMG and Mustard is due to terminate on 13th October 2025 we are left with little choice but to replace the Id set. More info herearrow-up-right

  3. The key golf pricing markets have been divided into High, Medium and Low Priority (See Supported Market Types page). Please note High will be available for 15th May (USPGA), Medium on 29th May and Low are TBC. If any of these low priority markets are crucial or you need more information, please let us know.

  4. The suspension logic with the Market Behaviour document and Market Publishing Timetables have been created in conjunction with DL Trading and we would welcome feedback based on the different tournament levels.

  5. More detailed documentation on the key differences is now available
