## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).


# README

## Tennis Data & Analytics

Real-time tennis data for **ATP, WTA, Challenger and ITF** — singles and doubles.
Live scores, players and rankings, match-winner market prices, and model-driven
win-probability, delivered straight into an Apify dataset.

Pay per event. No subscription, no API key to manage.

### What you can fetch

| Resource | What you get |
|---|---|
| `live` | Every match currently in progress, with live score state |
| `history` | Recently completed matches with the derived winner |
| `players` | Player search — bio, ranking, country, tour |
| `match` | Full detail for one match |
| `score` | Current score only — the lowest-latency read |
| `analysis` | Model win-probability, confidence and key factors |
| `stream` | Live WebSocket feed streamed to your dataset for N minutes |

### Score format

`sets` is `[sets_p1, sets_p2]`.

`games` is `[games_p1, games_p2]` where **each side is a per-set list** — so
`[[6,3,2],[4,6,1]]` reads 6-4, 3-6, 2-1. It is player-major, not set-major;
reading it the other way gives a plausible-looking but wrong scoreline.

All timestamps are UTC ISO 8601 with a `Z` suffix.

### Prefer to call the API directly?

This Actor wraps the [Live Tennis API](https://livetennisapi.com). If you would
rather integrate it into your own application, there are official clients:

| Language | Install |
|---|---|
| Python | `pip install livetennisapi` |
| JavaScript / TypeScript | `npm install livetennisapi` |
| MCP server for LLM agents | `npx livetennisapi-mcp` |

Both SDKs are typed, MIT licensed, and ship a `livetennis` CLI plus a
reconnecting client for the WebSocket feed. The MCP server gives Claude, Cursor
and other agents 12 read-only tools over the same data, and is listed in the
official MCP Registry.

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("livetennisapi/tennis-data-analytics").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

## Python example

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = {}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("livetennisapi/tennis-data-analytics").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print("💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/" + run["defaultDatasetId"])
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item)
