How It Works
Once connected, clients automatically receive JSON messages whenever a sports event updates. There is no subscription message required—simply connect and start receiving data.Connection Management
Automatic Ping/Pong Heartbeat
The server sends PING messages at regular intervals. Clients must respond with PONG to maintain the connection.| Parameter | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| PING Interval | 5 seconds | How often the server sends PING messages |
| PONG Timeout | 10 seconds | How long the server waits for a PONG response |
Connection Health
- Server sends
PING→ Client must respond withPONG - No response within timeout → Connection terminated
- Clients should implement automatic reconnection with exponential backoff
Session Affinity
The server uses cookie-based session affinity (sports-results cookie) to ensure clients maintain connection to the same backend instance. This is handled automatically by the browser.
