# Challenger and ITF live scores: every match in play

**Use case:** 

Every Challenger, WTA 125 and ITF singles match in play right now: set and game score, who serves and the set being played. Schedule it every few minutes for a feed of the lower tours that the big sites barely cover. The example returns up to 100 matches.

## About this Actor

This example demonstrates how to use [Tennis Live Scores - ATP, WTA, Challenger & ITF](https://apify.com/crawlplant/tennis-live-scores.md) with a specific input configuration. Visit the [Actor detail page](https://apify.com/crawlplant/tennis-live-scores.md) to learn more, explore other use cases, and run it yourself.


## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/crawlplant/tennis-live-scores.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
