Time delay in live scores

Question

Hi,

The live game scores seem to only be updated once every 5 minutes or so. 
Is there any way this can be be improved? I don't mind if its a separate payment plan if it means getting scores as close to real-time as possible. 
In a game where the score changes every 30 seconds on average, a delay of 5 minutes makes the score rather meaningless.

Sorry, my bad! 30 second delay is correct.

My caching algorithm was a little over zealous.

Keep up the good work.

I also am not seeing scores for games in progress.  One is at 1/2 time (Maine/Merrimack) and one is in 2nd half (148440: Dartmouth/Bakersfield) and the scores all say 'null'.

Hi,

The games where this happened were a few NBA games (sorry, cannot remember the teams) on Monday and Tuesday morning (aus time).

Perhaps its the way I am using the API.

I am using https://api-baseball.p.rapidapi.com/games?id={gameId}

Is this the right one to use for live scores?

Thanks

The current games we have checked are :
WCBA Women : Shanghai W - Hebei W
