Live Tennis API — Live Scores

Live tennis scores in Grafana, powered by the free Live Tennis API (https://livetennisapi.com) and the Infinity data source (yesoreyeram-infinity-datasource).

Panels

• Live matches (stat) — number of matches in play right now.
• Matches — $status (table) — one row per match: Player 1, per-set Score (6-4 3-2), Player 2, current Points (30-15, tiebreaks shown as TB 4-2), who is Serving, and the Event (tournament with the round deduplicated).
• Upcoming matches (table) — next scheduled matches with UTC start time and surface.

Variables

• Tour — All / atp / wta / challenger / itf / juniors (each value covers its singles and doubles draws).
• Status — live / upcoming / completed, drives the main table.

All parsing is done by Infinity's JSONata backend parser inside each query's root selector — no external transformation services, and backend parsing keeps the dashboard compatible with alerting and query caching.

Requirements

• Grafana 11.6+
• Infinity data source plugin 3.x (yesoreyeram-infinity-datasource)
• A Live Tennis API key — free, no card, 1,000 requests/day, 30/min: https://livetennisapi.com/subscribe/free

Setup

1. Install the Infinity plugin: Administration → Plugins → search "Infinity" → Install (or grafana cli plugins install yesoreyeram-infinity-datasource).
2. Create the data source — the API key lives HERE, never in the dashboard. Connections → Data sources → Add new data source → Infinity. Auth type: Bearer token — paste your Live Tennis API key. Allowed host: https://api.livetennisapi.com.
3. Import this dashboard and select your Infinity data source when prompted.

The dashboard JSON contains no credentials. The key is stored encrypted in the data source configuration and attached server-side to every request.

Rate-limit fit

The default refresh (60s) with the three queries stays comfortably inside the free tier's 30 requests/minute; a browser tab left open all day uses well under the 1,000/day quota.
