Third-party module: live tennis scores on e-paper (inkycal-tennis) #433

Description

@bensynapse

Hi! Sharing a new self-published third-party module, built per the developer guide and modules/custom.md — not asking for a merge, just making it findable for anyone who wants tennis on their display. Feel free to close after reading (or let me know if there's a better place to list third-party modules).

Repo: https://github.com/livetennisapi/inkycal-tennis (MIT, v0.1.0)

preview

What it does

  • Live matches (ATP/WTA/Challenger/ITF/juniors): per-set games, current points, a on the server, and a derived break-point BP marker on the colour layer (red on 3-colour panels; merged into black on B/W).
  • Falls back to the upcoming-fixtures schedule when nothing is live (cached 6 h).

Install (as in the current dev docs)

  1. wget inkycal_tennis.py into Inkycal/inkycal/modules/
  2. Add Tennis = "inkycal.modules.inkycal_tennis.Tennis" to InkycalModuleImporter
  3. settings.json config: {"api_key": "...", "tour": "all"} (plus the usual size/padding/fontsize)

The API key is free (no card) — 30 req/min, 100 req/day, so a ≥15-minute update_interval fits the free tier. Tests are fully mocked (no key needed) and CI runs against Inkycal main on 3.12/3.13.

Disclosure: I maintain the API behind it (livetennisapi.com), so the module will be kept in sync with any field changes.
