Live & Final Subfeeds
Live & Final Subfeeds
This article is intended for customers with a Live & Final subfeed.
If you have a Live & Final subfeed, you also receive access to the Final subfeed for the feed in question. This is because some stats are only delivered on a Final basis, such as season-level stats. That means you will, in some cases, need to access the Final subfeed to get everything you need for a full integration.
However, the Final subfeed will also contain what appear as 'duplicates' to you - for example, Player Game stats or Team Game stats. You will have access to both Final Only and Live & Final for these endpoints. Be careful to only use the Live & Final one so that you receive the live stats you need.
See the below example for Team & Player Stats.
Team & Player Stats
| Live & Final | Final Only | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Box Score | Box Score Live & Final | Use Box Score so that you get live data. |
| Player Game Stats | Player Game Stats Final | Use Player Game Stats so that you get live data. |
| Team Game Stats | Team Game Stats Final | Use Team Game Stats so that you get live data. |
| - | Player Season Stats | Player Season Stats are only available post-game, so you should pull them from the Final subfeed - the only place they live. |
| - | Team Season Stats | Team Season Stats are only available post-game, so you should pull them from the Final subfeed - the only place they live. |
The rule of thumb: if you have a Live & Final subscription, and a given endpoint exists both there and in the Final subfeed, use the one in the Live & Final subfeed instead. If it exists only in Final, you can use Final safely.
