Install Jentic One Beta

Connect the Live Tennis API to your agent

Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Live Tennis API, or any other public or private API you need. You set the rules, the agent never sees your credentials, and every call is logged.

Two steps, two machines. Install the instance in a safe environment, then register your agent from wherever it runs.

Step 1: Jentic One Host machine

# On the machine that will host your Jentic One instance:
curl -fsSL "https://jentic.com/install.sh?src=apis&api=%2Fapis%2Flivetennisapi.com%2Flivetennisapi" | sh

Step 2: Agent machine

# On the machine where your agent runs (keep this separate from the instance):
curl -fsSL "https://jentic.com/install.sh?src=apis&api=%2Fapis%2Flivetennisapi.com%2Flivetennisapi" | sh
jentic register       # connects your agent to your Jentic One instance

Jentic One is in public beta. The setup above keeps your agent separate from the instance, which is what you want before using real credentials: an agent running as the same OS user as Jentic One can read its stored keys directly. Just evaluating? A single local install is fine to start. See the secure deployment guide for the tiers.

Capabilities

What an agent can do with Live Tennis API.

Use Cases

Patterns agents use Live Tennis API for, with concrete tasks.

★ Agent-driven live score updates through Jentic

An AI agent running a sports assistant can read the live score of a match and stream per-point events as they happen. Through Jentic the agent discovers the score and events operations by intent and loads their schemas, so it reports updates without wiring the Live Tennis endpoints.

Search Jentic for 'get a match score', find a match in progress, and read its current score and latest per-point events.

Head-to-head and historical lookups

Build previews by pulling head-to-head records and past results from an archive reaching back to 1968. The API joins matches to players and tournaments by stable ids, so an agent can assemble a matchup summary from consistent references.

Look up the head-to-head record between two players and pull their recent completed matches.

Market price monitoring

Track match-winner market prices and recent price ticks per side for matches in progress. The API returns the mapped market and its price history so an agent can monitor movement without maintaining its own feed.

Retrieve the match-winner market prices for a match and read the recent price ticks per side.

Key Endpoints

36 endpoints — the live tennis api serves real-time tennis scores, player and tournament data, match-winner market prices, and model-driven match analysis across the atp, wta, challenger, itf, and junior tours.

Why Jentic?

What agents get from Jentic-routed access to this vendor.

Setup

Wiring the Live Tennis API by hand means sending its bearer key or X-API-Key header, resolving its versioned host, and handling live and archive read patterns yourself. Through Jentic you install once, import it from the API Directory, store the key once, and your agent calls it.

Permission scoping

The Live Tennis API is read-only for its data surface, so a rule can allow only the read operations your agent needs. You choose the operations it may call, such as scores and rankings, so registering or deleting webhooks is not included unless you add it.

Credential isolation

Your Live Tennis key is stored once, encrypted, by your own Jentic One instance and injected at execution time. It never enters the agent's prompt, logs, or context.

Intent-based discovery

Agents search Jentic by intent such as 'get a match score' or 'get head-to-head records', and Jentic returns the matching Live Tennis operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

FAQs

Specific to using Live Tennis API through Jentic.

What authentication does the Live Tennis API use?

The Live Tennis API accepts either a bearer token or an X-API-Key header per its OpenAPI spec. Through Jentic your key is stored encrypted by your own Jentic One instance and injected at request time, so your agent never sees it.

Is there a Live Tennis API MCP server?

You don't need an MCP server to give your agent the Live Tennis API. Jentic connects it directly from the API Directory: import it, store your credential once, and your agent calls it on demand without loading another server's tool definitions into its context.

Can I get live scores with the Live Tennis API?

Yes. The score operation returns the current score for a match with the lowest latency, and the events operation returns per-point events newest first for matches in progress.

What are the rate limits for the Live Tennis API?

Access is tiered as FREE, BASIC, PRO, and ULTRA, and the OpenAPI spec does not state numeric per-tier request limits. Check the Live Tennis documentation at https://livetennisapi.com for current tier limits.

Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the Live Tennis API?

Yes. The Live Tennis API is read-only for data, so allow only the read operations your agent needs, such as scores, rankings, and head-to-head records, while withholding the webhook-management operations unless you add them. Every call it makes is logged.

How do I get a match score with the Live Tennis API through Jentic?

Search Jentic for 'get a match score', load the score operation, and pass the match id. Jentic injects your key and returns the current score. To run it on your own infrastructure, install Jentic One from its GitHub repo.
