General Sport APIs - City IDs in Venue Objects

We've added a city_id unique identifier to all venue objects across our General Sport Media APIs. The new field is included alongside the existing city_name field and is available in all feeds that contain venue information.

This is a non-breaking enhancement to existing responses.

"city_name": "Liverpool",
"city_id": "sr:city:31",

⭐ Benefit

Use a city's unique identifier for entity linking, data enrichment, and cross-feed correlation wherever venue information is available.
