How it works
The Livestream API operates through long-running HTTP GET calls, maintaining an open TCP socket for the duration of each match. This setup allows for a seamless flow of data, with each game requiring its own connection. Messages are transmitted in JSON format, providing detailed information on various game events. This robust system ensures that fans receive up-to-the-minute updates on their favorite teams and players as soon as the score goes final at the arena.
By integrating Genius Sports’ Livestream API, HBCU Gameday reaffirms its commitment to delivering comprehensive and real-time coverage of HBCU basketball. As conference tournaments approach, fans can rely on HBCU Gameday’s live scoreboard for the latest scores, statistics, and game highlights, all accessible at their fingertips.
