SportsGrounder’s key
Scores, game state and lines. Asked beside the web search when a question needs it, and served first with the time it was read.
routing.live_calls lists it.Grounder reads ESPN without a key: the source is a public feed.
Ask the way you would ask any search. Grounder asks ESPN when the question needs what the source holds.
