Do you need an account

No: the server works without sign-in

Real-time tennis for ATP, WTA, Challenger and ITF — live and upcoming matches with point-by-point scores, players and rankings, the forward fixture schedule, match-winner market prices and model win-probability. Singles and doubles.

12 read-only tools. Every call is a GET; nothing here can modify anything.

Tier-aware. An endpoint above your plan returns a plain-English explanation naming the tier required, as a normal result rather than a bare 403, so the assistant tells you something true instead of guessing or retrying.

Free tier, no card — live and upcoming matches, scores, players and fixtures at 1,000 requests/day: https://livetennisapi.com/subscribe/free
