GoalServe · Rate Limits

Goalserve Rate Limits

GoalServe gates feed access through registration, a unique per-account API access key carried in the request path, and IP whitelisting for in-play feeds, rather than publishing explicit RPM/RPS request quotas. Feeds are polled over HTTP GET on recommended refresh intervals (live scores every few seconds, live stats around every 30 seconds); excessive polling beyond documented refresh rates is discouraged. Specific numeric request limits are not reconciled in this artifact.

Goalserve Rate Limits is the machine-readable rate-limit profile for GoalServe on the APIs.io network, conforming to the API Commons Rate Limits specification.

It captures 5 rate-limit definitions, measuring authentication, source_ip, refresh_interval, and staleness.

The profile also includes 2 backoff/retry policies defined and response codes documented for throttled.

Tagged areas include Sports Data, Live Scores, Odds, Fixtures, and Soccer.
