Tennis API – Country Info for Broadcast Channels

We've added support for country and country_code attributes to the broadcast information in our Tennis API.

For matches with channel availability, each entry in the channels array now includes country and country_code fields alongside the existing name and url.

This brings the Tennis API's channels array in line with the existing format of the Soccer API.

"channels": [
    {
        "name": "SRF zwei HD - Hot Bird 1/2/3/4/6 (13.0E)",
        "url": "http://tvprogramm.srf.ch/",
        "country": "Switzerland",
        "country_code": "CHE"
    },
    ...

⭐ Benefit

Show region-specific broadcast information for tennis matches, so users can find where to watch in their country — and filter or label channels by region rather than parsing broadcaster names for country context.

📋 Recommended Actions

Parse the new country and country_code fields from each channel in the channels array.
Use these fields to filter broadcast channels by region, display country-specific broadcaster listings, or label channels by market.
If you already handle broadcast channels in the Soccer API, apply the same handling in Tennis — the format matches.
Continue to handle the existing name and url fields as before.
