Real-Time Integration
The Deadlock Draft API provides real-time draft data via WebSockets, ideal for creating overlays, streams, and companion applications.
Read-Only Access
This API is designed for read-only integration. Draft modifications are only allowed through the web interface. Each draft has a unique WebSocket endpoint accessed via the draft ID.
Draft Lifecycle
Drafts have a limited lifespan. Completed drafts are automatically deleted after 48 hours. Empty drafts are removed after 2 hours of inactivity.
