Data Verification Workflow

Data Verification Workflow

Outlining the processes and steps that ensure data accuracy and consistency across the Cricket API suite. To maintain up-to-date, reliable data for tournaments, matches, associations, and other endpoints through systematic verification.

🧮 What are Metric Groups?

Building and maintaining reliable cricket applications requires timely and accurate data—but how often should you refresh your cache? What matches update when? This guide breaks down how Roanuz CricketAPI verifies data internally and how you should structure your data refresh and caching strategy accordingly.

🧮 Step 1: Understand Metric Groups

Before diving into when and what to cache, it’s important to understand how we categorize our match data updates.
  1. 📊 Metric Group Types: a. MG100 – Full Ball-by-Ball Updates Live updates for every ball. Best for fantasy platforms and apps needing up-to-the-second accuracy.
b. MG101 – Snapshot/Periodic Updates 
Updates key stats every 15 minutes. Useful for apps that don’t require ball-level **detail level**.
🧭 Now that you understand the depth and pace of updates, let’s look at how tournaments and matches are verified and updated, so you can sync your caching to match our workflow.
