Endpoint

This endpoint returns a list of all currently live sport events along with relevant details such as event ID, name, where and when the event is happening, who is competing in the event etc,

Technically, this endpoint lists all the sport events whose start_date = 'today'. When a sport event is held for more than a day, it is not included in the list after the start date.

Note

If a match starts on one day and is interrupted and continued someday later, it will not appear in the current live sports events. This might happen more frequently in sports like snooker and tennis.
