ESPN

espn

Scores, game state and lines. Asked beside the web search when a question needs it, and served first with the time it was read.

SportsPublic feed

How it works

  1. You search as usual, over HTTP or MCP, and Grounder searches the web.
  2. For a question about right now that ESPN can answer, Grounder also asks ESPN, beside the web search.
  3. The answer from ESPN is served first, with the time it was read, and routing.live_calls lists it.

Grounder reads ESPN without a key: the source is a public feed.

Using it

Ask the way you would ask any search. Grounder asks ESPN when the question needs what the source holds.
