Betting - Live statistics

Provide aggregated data of matches such as statistics, scores, line-ups used for analysis and visualisation.

The statistics websocket contains a live 'stream' of the team and player actions happening within a match. This websocket is typically for clients wanting to integrate aggregated stats data to power live betting markets.

You should receive a new update any time a key action is completed and this websocket is crucial for powering live scores and match actions. The authentication token provided will be required to make a connection to this websocket endpoint. Once you have the API token, any further data that you send over the connection will be ignored. This endpoint sends heartbeats in-between data packets to let you know that it is still connected.

Query Parameters

Name	Type	Description
speed	String	this can be “fast” or “normal”. Default is normal and only applicable for offline matches

Authentication

We don't look at the header for websockets. Instead we expect the client to push through that auth message immediately on connecting in the following format

{"authToken": "ACCESS_TOKEN"}

Request limits

IMG Arena monitors customer traffic to ensure it follows guidelines and isn't excessive. We recommend a request rate of 5 per second and encourage staying connected to websockets instead of repeated re-connections.
