## Cricket Odds API Technical Specifications

### API Architecture

- **REST API** — Simple HTTP endpoints with JSON responses, identical to the SportsGameOdds v2 paths
- **Polling, not push** — the feed refreshes every ~2 minutes; `/v2/stream/events` is reserved and answers 501 rather than pretending
- **Rate limits** — per-key, per-minute meters that bind under concurrency; plans sized to your usage
- **Authentication** — secure API key access via the `x-api-key` header or `apiKey` query parameter

### Data Update Speed

- **Odds updates** — every ~2 minutes across every bookmaker lane
- **Event status** — `status` flags and `info.stale` tell you exactly how current a price is

### Developer Resources

- [Interactive documentation](https://sockodds.com/docs/) — live examples, copy-paste snippets and an [AI (vibe coding)](https://sockodds.com/docs/info/ai-vibe-coding/) context
- [SDKs & libraries](https://sockodds.com/docs/sdk/) — the SportsGameOdds SDKs for TypeScript, Python, Ruby, Go and Java work unchanged with the base URL pointed here
- [Postman collection](https://sockodds.com/postman-collection/) — pre-built requests ready to run
- [Support](https://sockodds.com/docs/help/) — email support on every plan, priority on paid plans
