Message Types Overview

In order to decrease the size of the messages sent and improve message transferring speed, all messages are sent in delta formats – meaning only changes will be sent to you. The first message will always be a full message with all available data. 

Every message will hold a reference to the Fixture, Market, and Bet that they belong to.
