List Live States
List live score and game-state snapshots by sports game_id
GET
List Live States
Overview
Returns live game-state snapshots keyed by canonical sportsgame_id.
This endpoint is intentionally separate from market discovery. Use /v2/sports/games and /v2/sports/markets to discover tradeable outcomes, then use /v2/sports/live to read score, period, clock, winner, and source reliability for the broad real-world game.
If live state is not yet available for a game, games can still appear with
reliability.state = "no_data" and null score fields.For the broader model and source reliability semantics, see Sports Live State. For the websocket contract, see Sports Live WebSocket.

Response Fields
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
game_id | string | Broad real-world sports fixture ID. |
league | string | League code. |
sport | string | Sport name. |
game_date | string | Calendar date, YYYY-MM-DD. |
title | string | Display title. |
home_team | object? | Home team when known by source mapping. |
away_team | object? | Away team when known by source mapping. |
participants[] | array | Known participants from canonical sports game metadata. |
status | string | Current aggregate status or canonical market status fallback. |
status_text | string? | Source-derived display status, e.g. "Full-Time". |
live | boolean | Whether the game is currently live. |
ended | boolean | Whether the game has ended. |
period | string? | Current period/inning/half/quarter. |
clock | string? | Current game clock where applicable. |
score.home | number? | Home score when home/away mapping is known. |
score.away | number? | Away score when home/away mapping is known. |
score.display | string? | Source/aggregate display score. |
winner | string? | home, away, draw, or a source-native winner value. |
last_play | object? | Latest notable play when available. When present, it maps to the most recent item in significant_events[]. It can be null when no notable incident has happened yet or the source has not supplied one at that time. |
significant_events[] | array | Normalized key incident list. Can include score changes, cards, substitutions, period events, game start/end, or source-supported other events. Empty when no incidents are available. |
reliability | object | Aggregate source reliability state. |
sources[] | array | Source-level snapshots when include_sources=true. |
updated_at | string? | Last aggregate update timestamp. |
Event List Coverage
The event list uses thesignificant_events[] field on each live-state object. It is intended for key incidents, not every vendor-specific stat or full box score.
Supported normalized event types include:
| Event type | Meaning |
|---|---|
score_change | Scoring event, including soccer goals, basketball made shots/free throws, or other source-supported score changes. |
yellow_card | Soccer yellow card. |
red_card | Soccer red card. |
substitution | Source-supplied substitution event. |
period_start | Start of a period, half, quarter, map, or similar segment when exposed by the source. |
period_end | End of a period, half, quarter, map, or similar segment when exposed by the source. |
game_start | Game started. |
game_end | Game ended or final status reached. |
other | Source-supplied incident that does not map cleanly to a standard type yet. |
GET /v2/sports/games and the sports venue coverage matrix. Incident availability is source- and sport-dependent. Kalshi soccer milestones commonly include goals, cards, substitutions, period events, and game-end events. Kalshi basketball can include made shots/free throws and period boundaries. Baseball play-by-play may be available for some games, but typed key incidents are less consistent. If no key incidents are available for a game, significant_events is returned as [].
Reliability States
| State | Meaning |
|---|---|
no_data | The game exists, but no source has written live state. |
single_source | One source has current state. |
confirmed | Two or more sources agree on material fields. |
conflict | Sources disagree on material fields such as score, winner, or ended status. |
stale | Latest available source state is too old for a live game. |
Example
