# Getting Started

The Odds Feed Service provides sportsbook data to clients via RabbitMQ or other compatible message brokers. This documentation outlines the process for clients to ingest sportsbook data from RabbitMQ.

### Prerequisites

Before receiving Odds Feed messages from our end, ensure you have the following prerequisites:

* Ensure that you have RabbitMQ installed and configured properly. Visit the [RabbitMQ Documentation](https://www.rabbitmq.com/docs/download) page for detailed instructions on how to install it on your operating system
* RabbitMQ Server host information or information for other compatible message brokers
* Access to specific RabbitMQ queues or exchanges for sportsbook data ingestion, or equivalent access for other message brokers

### RabbitMQ Credentials

Once you've finished setting up your own RabbitMQ, kindly provide us the following credentials so we can start connecting to your RabbitMQ cluster and start receiving messages on your end:

* Host
* Username
* Password
* VirtualHost (optional) - Default value would be "/"
* Exchange (optional) - Default value would be "e.central"

For VirtualHost and Exchange, we can configure the default value if you want to point it to a different route.
