Low-latency esports API.
Player scoreboards in under 2 seconds.
Quick answer: Yes — KashRock's live esports feed updates player scoreboards in under 2 seconds on Builder+, with a slower but free Sandbox tier to start.
What the live feed carries
The live board is a per-map scoreboard, not a post-match recap. Each game on GET /v6/esports/{sport}/live/games carries the series score, map name, round number, and round clock — and every player row carries kills, deaths, assists, headshots, ADR, and an alive flag.
- —Per-player K/D/A mid-map, keyed by canonical kr_pl_* player ids
- —Map and series state — map_name, round, phase, clock
- —Round-level events: KILL, ROUND_WIN, BOMB_PLANT, BOMB_DEFUSE
- —One schema across CS2, Valorant, LoL, Dota 2, R6, COD, and Deadlock
Live endpoints
One list call tells you what is live; the rest of the reads hang off the kr_match_id it returns. Push and pull hit the same Redis boards, so REST and WebSocket never disagree.
| Endpoint | What it returns | Key param |
|---|---|---|
| GET /v6/esports/{sport}/live/games | Every game currently on the live board | sport |
| GET /v6/esports/{sport}/live/{game_id}/boxscore | Per-player K/D/A plus map, round, and clock | game_id (kr_match_id) |
| GET /v6/esports/{sport}/live/{game_id}/frame | Round phase, economy, and board state | game_id |
| GET /v6/esports/{sport}/live/{game_id}/events | KILL, ROUND_WIN, BOMB_PLANT, BOMB_DEFUSE, ROUND_START | game_id |
| WS /v6/esports/live/ws | Push updates under 2 seconds after Redis write — Builder and Pro only | subscribe by sport or kr_match_id |
| GET /v6/esports/live/health | Measured p50/p95 latency per live game | none |
A real live boxscore
This is a production capture — Vitality vs magic, map 1 Mirage — exactly as /live/{game_id}/boxscore returns it mid-map. Ten player rows, side by side, with K/D/A updating every few seconds.

Which sports publish live boards
Live K/D/A comes from in-game feeds on tournament matches. Where a title has no feed wired, the board stays empty — KashRock does not invent stats.
| Title | Live status | What the board carries |
|---|---|---|
| CS2 | Live | Kills, deaths, assists, headshots, ADR per map |
| Valorant | Live | K/D/A per map on tournament games |
| League of Legends | Live | K/D/A per map on tournament games |
| Dota 2 | Live | K/D/A per map on tournament games |
| Rainbow Six | Live | K/D/A per map on tournament games |
| Call of Duty | Live | K/D/A per map on tournament games |
| Deadlock | Live | K/D/A per map on tournament games |
| Mobile Legends | Waiting on feed | Live boards stay empty until a feed is wired |
How the latency SLA is enforced
In-game frames land from the feed, normalize into the canonical schema, and write to Redis. REST reads that board directly; the WebSocket fans the same write out to subscribers. GET /v6/esports/live/health reports the measured p50 and p95 per live game — from the source frame time to our publish — so the SLA is a number you can read, not a promise on a landing page.
Practical rule: If a live game drifts past the SLA, it shows up in /live/health before it shows up in your app.
Speed by plan
Live speed is a plan feature, not a different pipeline. Every tier reads the same Redis boards — cheaper plans are served a genuinely older snapshot instead of a relabeled real-time read.
| Plan | Price | Live speed | Monthly requests |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sandbox | $0 | Live scores, 30-60 second delay on REST | 500 requests / UTC day |
| Hobby | $29 | Live scores, 5-second delay on REST | 2,160,000 requests / month |
| Builder | $99 | Live player kills, deaths, and assists updated in under 2 seconds + WebSocket push | 4,320,000 requests / month |
| Pro | $199 | Live player kills, deaths, and assists updated in under 2 seconds + WebSocket push | 10,800,000 requests / month |

If you need a normalized feed instead of another UI wrapper, the Esports API exposes live boards, schedules, and history on one schema — with the IDs and outcome patterns that keep backtests and grading honest. Start free on Sandbox, or see published pricing.
