Documentation

GDAP is providing data API related to FIBA Competition information systems but also providing all calculation based on FIBA rules (Player accumulated statistics, Teams accumulated statistics, ...).

You need to be authenticated and access your specific product APIs for which you have a subscription.

GDAP Data source

• FIBA MAP (Management & Administration Platform) used to manage all FIBA competitions data.
  FIBA MAP is the source of the GDAP Data PRE GAME & POST GAME.

• FIBA Livestats Integrator providing live data feed for running games from FIBA official Live Stat providers (such as Genius Sports FLS & SwissTiming OVR systems)

  The live data format is based on the FIBA OVR Livestats Interface description available here:

  • FIBA Live Stat Interface (live stat data provider & consumer)

    Note: This interface description is defining the base definition. Each Live Stat provider might provide data based on its own structure but it will respect the documentation (not mandatory fields present or not, naming convention of the object ID ...)
    To receive sample files from both provider, you can open a ticket on the support portal (https://support.fiba.basketball)

  FIBA LiveStats Integrator is the source of the GDAP Live Game Data while the game is live.

  Live Stat Interface v2

  FIBA has released a new version of the Live Stat Interface (for consumer & data provider) which will be rolled-out in October 2025.
  The Live Stat interface v2 data format will be delivered on GDAP with the new v2 endpoint.

  FIBA Eurobasket 2025 will be the 1st event to use the new LSI v2 interface

Data Access Mechanism

• GDAP is only providing PULL data access (no push data, even for live data)

• A data pulling & caching strategy should be defined to avoid querying GDAP more than necessary

  Example:

  • Long time before a competition - pulling data 2/3 times per day

  • Game Day - pulling game data every x min

  • Live Game data - pulling data every 5-10 sec (only live game data)

  • Post Game data - pulling once after game is completed and potentially 1h after (then no more than 1 or 2 times per day)

• Ensure to respect the integration principle
