{% tab title="Static Filters" %}
**Static filters** are always the same and filter in one specific way without any custom options. Each static filter is listed below and has a description of how it filters. For more information, please look at our[ Filters page](https://docs.sportmonks.com/v3/api/request-options/filtering).

| Static Filters | Available on Entity | Description                                                                     | Example                                                                                                                                          |

{% tab title="Dynamic Filters" %}
The **dynamic filters** are based on entities and includes. Each dynamic filter uses an entity to filter on and one entity to apply the filter to. Below is an example with an explanation of how filters are set up. For more information, please look at our[ Filters page](https://docs.sportmonks.com/v3/api/request-options/filtering).

{% hint style="info" %}
Using an include? Check their respective filters on their entity page. For example if you use `&include=fixtures`, you can apply [fixture-related filters](https://docs.sportmonks.com/v3/entities/fixture#fixture-entity-filters).&#x20;

### Definition of “Latest Updated”

This endpoint returns every fixture whose odds data has changed in the last 10 seconds. The odds data fields include market\_id, bookmaker\_id, value, name, market\_description, probability, winning, stopped, created\_at, updated\_at, and latest\_bookmaker\_update. The 10-second update window is fixed and cannot be changed.

A change in any of these fields during the last 10 seconds means that the fixture is included in the response:

* market\_id
  * Change means the fixture moved to a different betting market.
* bookmaker\_id
  * Change means a different bookmaker provided or updated the odds.
* value
  * Change means the numeric odd value (for example, 1.48) was adjusted.
* name
  * Change means the label name (for example “Home” or “Away”) was modified.
* market\_description
  * Change means the description of the market (for example “Match Winner”) was edited.
* probability
  * Change means the implied probability (for example “67.57%”) was recalculated.
* winning
  * Change means the boolean flag indicating if this odd is the current winning outcome was toggled.
* stopped
  * Change means the boolean flag indicating if this odd is no longer available was toggled.
* created\_at
  * Change means a new odd entry was created within the last 10 seconds.
* updated\_at
  * Change means the timestamp of the last update to this odd entry was modified.
* latest\_bookmaker\_update
  * Change means the bookmaker’s own timestamp for their last update was modified.

### Frequency of updates & no-change responses

Any fixture with at least one of the above fields changed in the last 10 seconds will appear on each API call. If no fixture changed during that window, the API returns HTTP 200 with an empty data array. An empty array means there is nothing new to process.

### Polling frequency & rate limits

* Poll every 10 seconds to match the fixed update window exactly (360 calls per hour).
* Optionally poll every 5 to 8 seconds to reduce end-to-end latency, provided your rate limits allow the extra calls.
* Monitor for network jitter and clock skew to avoid missing updates or sending duplicate requests.

### Caching strategy & best practices

* Cache all returned fields per fixture in your local store.
* On each response, compare each fixture’s new payload against the cache.
* Discard fixtures with no actual differences.
* Update the cache with only the changed fixtures.
* Cache rarely changing lookup data (such as bookmaker names and market descriptions) locally.
* If you observe long runs of empty responses, temporarily reduce your polling frequency to minimise unnecessary calls.
