Wicket Labs is an audience insights platform for video, and offers products like the "Wicket Scoreboard".
To generate these insights, a video player emits playback events to a third-party database service (e.g. Firebase). Wicket Labs provides guidelines on how to format these playback events. Wicket Labs then pulls the data from the selected third-party database service, and integrates it into their platform.
THEOplayer and Wicket Labs publish sample integrations on Github to bootstrap developers.

An integration with Wicket Labs can be integrated on-top of THEOplayer.
The technologies offered by THEOplayer and Wicket Labs can be combined on all THEOplayer-supported platforms.
Developers are free to do their custom integration of Wicket Labs and THEOplayer, or may modify the publicly available code samples.
THEOplayer and Wicket Labs host a Github repository at https://github.com/THEOplayer/samples-wicket-labs-html5-sdk. This repository provides a sample implementation for the THEOplayer Web SDK with Firebase as the database service.
This repository may also be useful if you're using another database service, because the repository demonstrates the correct order of hooking into the playback events related to Wicket Labs, and how to format them. In other words: if you're using another database service, you just need to emit the events to a different source.
THEOplayer and Wicket Labs currently do not host a sample implementation for Android-based platforms on Github.
Developers are encouraged to use https://github.com/THEOplayer/samples-wicket-labs-html5-sdk and https://www.wicketlabs.com/resources/knowledge-base/how-to-setup-firebase-for-ott-video-services/ as a starting point. Additionally, developers are encouraged to reach out to their contacts at THEOplayer and/or Wicket Labs if they need assistance, which could prompt THEOplayer and Wicket Labs into publishing a sample implementation on Github.
