Which tours are in scope, and are they equally served?
The tours a feed carries — ATP, WTA, Challenger, ITF, singles and doubles — and whether the depth is the same across all of them or concentrated at the top.
Why it separates providers
Tour-level coverage is easy and crowded. The lower tiers are where feeds quietly thin out, and they are where most of the day's matches actually are.
The test you can run
Ask for the live slate at several times of day, group it by tour, and compare against the published calendar for the same window. A feed that only ever returns tour-level matches is telling you its real scope.
What Live Tennis API measures
Not yet measured. This criterion has no published figure. Rather than estimate one, the page says so — and the method that will produce it is written down in advance.
Check it against us
A free key takes a minute and needs no card. Every criterion on this site is one you can verify against our live service, and the harness will run the same test against any other provider you are evaluating.
The other criteria
| # | Criterion | The question it answers |
|---|---|---|
| 01 | Latency | How quickly does a scoring event reach your code? |
| 02 | Completeness | What share of matches actually carry every point? |
| 04 | Point-by-point | Is there a real per-point record, and does it say where it came from? |
| 05 | Streaming | Can you subscribe instead of poll, and how far does it fan out? |
| 06 | Free tier | Can you evaluate it properly before paying, without a card? |
| 07 | Historical depth | How far back does it go, and what survives at that depth? |
| 08 | Spec and SDKs | Is the contract machine-readable, and is it kept honest? |
