Build a Live Match Center

A match center usually combines several endpoints. Start with the fixture and load detail endpoints only when the fixture supports that data.

1. Get the fixture

curl --request GET \
  "https://api.nextsportsapi.com/v1/football/fixtures?id=MBH7KQ2" \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"

2. Add events

curl --request GET \
  "https://api.nextsportsapi.com/v1/football/fixtures/events?fixture=MBH7KQ2" \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"

3. Add lineups

curl --request GET \
  "https://api.nextsportsapi.com/v1/football/fixtures/lineups?fixture=MBH7KQ2" \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"

4. Add team statistics

curl --request GET \
  "https://api.nextsportsapi.com/v1/football/fixtures/statistics?fixture=MBH7KQ2" \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"

Polling model

Use a fixture status field to decide polling frequency. Poll active fixtures more frequently, reduce polling at halftime, and stop live polling after final status once post-match statistics are loaded.
