How this endpoint behaves
Returns all currently usable public sections from the Flashscore News navigation.
Parameters: none.
Notable response behavior: the exact valid category keys are all, football, uefa-nations-league, tennis, features, premier-league, nfl, mlb, nba, nhl, formula-1, champions-league, europa-league, conference-league, darts, snooker, golf, road-cycling, laliga, bundesliga, serie-a, ligue-1, badminton, handball, hockey, basketball, cricket, rugby-union, athletics, baseball, fifa, rugby-league, motorsport, aussie-rules, flashscore-ratings, american-sports, african-football, combat-sports, winter-sports, and transfer-news. Olympic Games was visible in navigation but is excluded because its linked News URL currently returns 404.
Every category except all also carries entity_id and entity_type from the navigation: SPORT (for example football = SW9D1eZo), TOURNAMENT_TEMPLATE (for example premier-league = dYlOSQOD) or TAG (an editorial tag such as features). The SPORT ids are the inputs of /api/v1/flashscore/entity-news with type=sport; the TOURNAMENT_TEMPLATE ids work with type=tournament. basketball and mlb share the id zcDLaZ3b and golf and american-sports share EkWXj6U9, because ids are only unique within an entity type.
