Live Data

Welcome to the integration documentation for our Live Data (LD) product.

The Live Data product delivers play-by-play coverage for sports events. The data can be viewed through a web browser client (Live Data Client) or imported as an XML feed into an in-house system. This document describes the Live Data system's functionality and message exchange.

The system uses servers hosted by Sportradar and clients at customer sites. Client applications must be implemented in accordance with this document. Except for Live Data Client and the Bookmaker SDK (see the chapter below), Sportradar does not provide client software.

Below you will find links to the main product topics. Additional information and links to all product sections are available in the navigation menu on the left-hand side.

New sports and features are added continuously. Expect changes to the XML feed.

Updated XSD files can be found HERE.

The Live Data documentation is split into multiple sections. It covers the main features and information required to use this service. Each section below includes a short description.
