Lines Feed

Lines Feed

Description
This feed returns sportsbook lines (spread, total & money) and scores available for the general public at Justbet.cx limited according to the specified criteria. These lines, by default, have a delay of up to 10 minutes which is lowerable to 5 minutes. If an affiliate or partner needs it lowered even further a special key parameter can be provided on a case by case basis. This XML cache system has been created in order to protect our resources from abuse or misuse but, by no means, is intended to limit affiliates that need greater line accuracy.

NOTE : At the moment, feeds are only available in XML format but upon request they can be trasformed to CSV, RSS or other formats and depending on their popularity, they will be documented here.

Notes

• All parameters documented here except refresh and orderby are used to limit the returned list of lines and the information included in the XML

• If parameters aren’t in the required format then their default is used instead

• There are 5 date related parameters: fromminutes, tominutes, begindate, enddate and onedate but only up to two should be used at a time so the precedence for their use is as follows:

° If either fromminutes or tominutes or both are specified and they both aren’t or default to zero and the later is greater than the former then they are used to determine the dates used to limit the lines

° Otherwise, if both begin date (begindate) and end date (enddate) are specified and the later is greater or equal to than the former then they are used instead

° Otherwise, if onedate is specified then this single date is used

° Lastly, if no parameters are specified the onedate parameter defaults to the current date

• All dates are in the server timezone we use which is PST (GMT -8) or PDT (GMT -7) depending on if daylight savings time is currently being used

• The popularity index are not all-time-records but pertain only to the scope defined by your query – also you can only order by this index if you have set popindex=Y

• All parameters that are lists aren’t qualified – that is, they lack any quotation marks

RESPONSE

The response is delivered in XML format encoded in the UTF-8 character set with a number of almost self explanatory tags which are further described below:

NOTE : Errors aren’t reported in the XML itself since we attempt to handle them internally as much as possible. However, we’d like to improve the response so that certain common errors are reported so if a fatal error occurs that prevents the XML from properly being displayed, please let us know.
