| 1 | +# Live Tennis |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +Live **point-by-point** tennis scores on your Tidbyt, across the ATP, WTA, |
| 4 | +Challenger and ITF tours. |
| 5 | + |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | + |
| 8 | +Each live match gets its own page and the app rotates through them: |
| 9 | + |
| 10 | +``` |
| 11 | ++----------------------------------+ |
| 12 | +| Toronto QF | <- tournament + round (bg colour = tour) |
| 13 | +| Alcaraz 1 2 40 | <- sets won / games this set / current point |
| 14 | +| * Sinner 1 1 AD | <- green dot = this player is serving |
| 15 | +| 6-3 4-6 LIVE | <- completed sets live/tiebreak |
| 16 | ++----------------------------------+ |
| 17 | +``` |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +* **Sets won** in white, **games in the current set** in blue, **current point** |
| 20 | + (`0 / 15 / 30 / 40 / AD`) in yellow. |
| 21 | +* During a tiebreak the point column turns orange and the status reads `TB`. |
| 22 | +* The header background identifies the tour: blue = ATP, magenta = WTA, |
| 23 | + brown = Challenger, grey = ITF. |
| 24 | +* A player slot that has not been filled yet (qualifier / lucky loser) shows |
| 25 | + `TBD`, and a match with no score yet shows `About to start`. |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +## Setup |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +1. Get a **free** Live Tennis API key (1,000 requests/day) at |
| 30 | + <https://livetennisapi.com/subscribe/free>. |
| 31 | +2. Paste it into the app's **API key** field in the Tidbyt mobile app. |
| 32 | +3. Optionally pick a single tour, set the rotation speed, and turn on rankings. |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +## Requests |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +The app fetches `GET /matches?status=live` with `ttl_seconds = 120`, so one |
| 37 | +key/tour combination makes at most `86400 / 120 = 720` upstream requests a day — |
| 38 | +inside the 1,000/day free tier. |
