How often does the database update for queries?

Question

Unfortunately, I'm not well-versed in soccer, but my colleague says yesterday (2024-03-27) the Polish, Georgian, and Ukrainian teams qualified for EURO 2024.

I made this request:

const options = {
    method: 'GET',
    url: 'https://api-football-v1.p.rapidapi.com/v3/teams',
    params: {
        league: '4',
        season: '2024'
    },
    headers: {
        'X-RapidAPI-Key': process.env.RAPID_API_KEY,
        'X-RapidAPI-Host': process.env.RAPID_API_HOST
    }
};

And there are still 21 teams in the list. (It need to be 24). This is not a problem yet, but what's important to me is to be able to extract from the /standings endpoint which teams were ELIMINATED from the championship in real-time. Also, what were the match results.

Thank you. :)

Hi,

All ours endpoints have a cache, but with different duration, For fixture it's a 10s cache, for Standings it's 45 minutes. For teams enpoint it's 12h.

You have the recommended call available in the API, and also the updates frequency.

Thank you for the fast answer :) 
I think the match results is not working with caches, (as I read it is live)
And the /standings is working this way? So when a team eleminated from the Matchdays I want to inform my users about that.
The questions are:

Is it updating next day after the team eleminated (when the cache cleared), or is it updating immediately?
Is it enogh to know which teams eleminated to each on all standings in array and if the description is null AND goalsDiff is not 0, then that team is eleminated?

I want to prepare before the start of the project.

Thank you for all :)

Hi,

The Fixtures was added today to the API, so the teams list should available during the day. This is linked to the cache on the endpoints. Once the cache has been cleared, the data will be available.
