* Establish connection to metadata feed.
* Metadata has one type of message, which contains metadata for an event. Depending on the type of sport it can have different types of metadata.
* Store received data in database or cache.
* It is highly recommended to display metadata for Thoroughbreds, Greyhounds and Harness. For these sports metadata is displayed in cards for competitors. It is your decision, what metadata and how to show.
* Reconnection should be automatically handled by integration. Automatic Reconnection should happen with `revision` **= UNIX timestamp seconds of last received message - 60 seconds**
* If a sport has metadata type listed, it **doesn’t guarantee** this type is available for all events in this sport.
* What metadata types are sent for sports can be checked in the Metadata API section.
