Frequently asked questions

What is trading-grade fast data?

Trading-grade fast data is timestamped ball-by-ball cricket data with ball-in-progress flags, and intelligent alerts, delivered fast. It is sub-1 second for official data and accurate enough for sportsbooks, prediction markets and exchanges to confidently create, price and settle live markets, to create the best experiences for their customers. Decimal's product is called Game/State Direct.

How fast is the data?

Official data is delivered sub-1 second, and 98% of our coverage is sub-5 seconds. Our feeds contain dynamic alerts to indicate latency in the event that changes, to maintain the highest levels of trust.
