Additional information
Fixtures describe static or semi-static information about matches and races. There are multiple endpoints for fixtures, all found at the fixture.xml or schedule.xml endpoints:
HTTP | Endpoint | Description |
|---|---|---|
GET | sports/(lang)/fixtures/changes.xml | Lists the ids of sport-events where changes were made the last 24 hours. |
GET | sports/(lang)/sport_events/(id)/fixture.xml | Lists the fixtures for a specified event (event = match, game, race, outright). |
GET | sports/(lang)/schedules/(date)/schedule.xml | Lists all events for a specific day. |
GET | sports/(lang)/schedules/live/schedule.xml | Lists all currently live events. |
GET | sports/(lang)/scheduleds/pre/schedule.xml?start=(x)&limit=(y) | Lists almost all events we are offering prematch odds for. This endpoint can be used during early startup to obtain almost all fixtures. This endpoint is one of the few that uses pagination. |
GET | sports/(lang)/fixtures/changes.xml | Lists all fixtures that have changed during the last 24 hours. This can be used to only update the sport events that were updated since the last time you checked (to avoid polling and reprocessing the complete list). |
GET | sports/(lang)/tournaments/(id)/schedule.xml | Lists all events for a particular season of a league/competition. |

Competitors
Competitors in the fixture have an id attribute and a name attribute. Competitor IDs that are on the format “sr:competitor:XXX”, can typically be looked up individually in the API (competitors/(id)/profile.xml), and may have translations to multiple languages.
Competitors with an id of type “sr:simpleteam:xxx” do not have translations, and are not unique. These are teams that Betradar have created for a one-off match that we cover, that are not part of some tournament/league Betradar normally covers. The name that is in the competitor element can preferably be used to name the team. If the same team competes in another tournament (sr:simpleteam:xxx), the team will be using a different id. Betradar tries to keep the number of competitors of this type to a minimum.
<competitors>
<sport id="sr:sport:1" name="Soccer"/>
<category id="sr:category:17" name="Tournaments"/>
<competitor id="sr:competitor:12345" name="Team1"/>
<competitor id="sr:competitor:11123" name="Team2"/>
</competitors>
Competitor "division" and "state"
This attribute is used primarily for NCAA football and basketball to signify which division the competitor belongs to, and which state the college is located in.
This attribute has been added to all endpoints where the <competitor> element is sent.
XML example
<competitors> <competitor id="sr:competitor:4285" name="Tulane Green Wave" state="LA" country="USA" country_code="USA" abbreviation="TUL" qualifier="home" gender="male" division="1"> <reference_ids> <reference_id name="betradar" value="58892"/> <reference_id name="rotation_number" value="138"/> </reference_ids> </competitor> <competitor id="sr:competitor:47353" name="FIU Panthers" state="FL" country="USA" country_code="USA" abbreviation="FIU" qualifier="away" gender="male" division="1"> <reference_ids> <reference_id name="betradar" value="427914"/> <reference_id name="rotation_number" value="137"/> </reference_ids> </competitor> </competitors>
Getting pre-match fixtures at start-up
There is a special endpoint to get almost all fixtures before initiating recovery. This endpoint is designed to significantly reduce the number of API calls required during recovery. The endpoint is also special in that it is one of the few endpoints that uses pagination (i.e. you have to specify a start record and a limit for the number of records to retrieve. The maximum number of records you can retrieve in one call is 1000). The records returned are all sport_events just like the records returned in the daily schedule endpoint. This can be done using the /schedule.xml and /tournament.xml endpoints, and specifying a language ID and date. An example of a sport_event message included scheduled="2016-03-31:
