Share the sample code using the interface call of iSports Api Sports Data www.isportsapi.com. This API endpoint returns instant event of football matches for the current day( GMT +0 00:00-23:59 ), such as goals, yellow and red cards, substitution, etc.

The event will be added, modified or deleted. Each eventId stands for an event, which will only be added or deleted. You need to synchronize the data with eventId.
