Olympic Data Feed
Official IOC data standard describing how results, schedules and competition data are exchanged for the Olympic Games; documents licensed for implementers.
Facts verified against the provider's site on
Tone of public discussions, liked vs criticised points, reliability complaints; not enough public discussion to judge.
Computed from public data only; uptime and latency are not measured yet. Enterprise feeds that sell by contract score lower on transparency by design. How the score works

Best for
Not enough public detail to say.
Not ideal for
Developers wanting a self-serve data API; this is an IOC specification for Games organisers and rights holders.
Limitations to check
- − Saved page is only the licence for the documentation
- − Games data use is governed by separate per-edition terms
- − Not a self-serve API

Crawl showed only licence text; ODF is a specification for Games organisers and rights holders, not a self-serve API. XML assumed. Low certainty on inclusion.
Before choosing a paid plan, confirm
• What counts as one request (per call, per market, per region?)
• What happens when you exceed the quota: blocked or billed
• Whether live and historical data are on your plan
• Whether your use (public app, betting, resale) is licensed

Preview brief
# Integration brief: Olympic Data Feed Goal: build a feature on Olympic Data Feed data. Use only the official documentation below as the source of truth. ## Known facts (from SportDex, verify before relying on them) - Website: https://odf.olympictech.org - Docs: https://odf.olympictech.org - Sports: Olympic sports - Data: Fixtures, Results, Standings - Protocols: XML feed; formats: xml - Auth: UNKNOWN — check the docs - Free plan: none listed - Note: Crawl showed only licence text; ODF is a specification for Games organisers and rights holders, not a self-serve API. XML assumed. Low certainty on inclusion. ## Verify before writing code - authentication method - pricing and request limits - live update frequency - whether commercial use is allowed on the plan you pick - exact endpoint paths, parameters and response fields (read the official docs, do not guess) ## Implementation rules - Keep the API key on the server (environment variable, backend route or edge function); never ship it to the browser. - Cache responses and respect rate limits; count how many requests each screen triggers. - Handle errors explicitly: invalid key, quota exceeded (429), missing fields, empty fixtures, timeouts. - Start with one demo request and log the raw response before building UI on assumed field names.
