If you are the owner of any sports platform and if you are struggling to enhance the user’s engagement. Now you know where you lack and why the audience does not like to stay on your platform. It is probably because they don’t get real-time sports updates. Now, the question is how to provide users with minute-to-minute updates without compromising the quality of content.

Where there is a need for ball-by-ball Cricket updates and minute-to-minute details from the match, here is where web sockets come in handy. If you want real-time updates from Cricket. Let me inform you that you can get every second of match details from Entity Sports API Cricket API.

If you are wondering what makes our Cricket API deliver data so fast. It is possible because we use Web sockets to deliver information and data. In this article, you will get to know what web socket and how Entity Sports provides data through WebSocket.       

What are Web Sockets?

Web sockets are communicational tools or web technology that enable sports websites and apps to provide real-time updates to their users. It allows users to get live scores, advanced stats, play-by-play commentary, players’ information, and every other relevant data from Cricket World. Web sockets can also allow one to get instant updates on news, players’ injury details, team ranking, performance analysis, and whatnot. 

What are the benefits of using Web Sockets for sports data delivery?

Web sockets play a crucial role in sports data delivery, as they enable users to get instant delivery of data like live scores, events, news alerts, and much more. Users can easily get access to match-related information like players’ stats, and match stats in real-time through web sockets. It can easily enhance the overall experience of the users of sports browsers and apps. Let’s explore some of the benefits of using web sockets for data delivery.

Easy transmission of data

Traditionally, people used to use polling methods for data sharing where they had to make multiple requests for establishing a connection. Today, with Web Sockets data delivery is super easy, as it allows easy communication between the server and the client. It allows bidirectional communication and ensures that fans get instant updates without any delay.     

Real-time updates

Web sockets can allow data providers to share data on important events, and live scores immediately. It means users like sports sites and apps can automatically get informed on every run scored and wicket taken without missing any moment from the match. Web sockets allow users to receive instant updates of matches. Users can stay updated about any changes in the pitch without being physically present at the stadium.

Improves users engagement

It is obvious that when fans will get match updates in real-time they are more likely to stay engaged with your sports platform. Web sockets can also allow you to add multiple interactive features to your platform like polls, and quizzes. You should always add a feature where fans can interact with one another. It makes them feel that they are enjoying the game with their friends and it will keep them engaged on your platform for a longer period.
