Data sources
The data we use to build the (chat) messages we offer comes from a variety of sources. For example, data for Battlefield 3 and Battlefield 4 messages comes from Battlelog. For some games, we offer multiple sources that provide different kinds of data, such as permanent stats vs. live, in-game data.
Sub-sources#
Some sources have sub-sources, because the source has multiple endpoints we need to fetch data from. Each endpoint of a data source is represented as a sub-source. If you are planning on using our chat message API, you do not need to worry about sub-sources, since we will handle everything on our end.
Caching#
We want to be fast. And we do not want to overload our data sources. That's why we cache data we fetch from our sources. The time to live (TTL) of the cached data is set according to what kind of data a (sub-)source provides.
