How this endpoint behaves
Query parameters: none.
Returns the Home feed and every current public news route listed by LiveScore's category sitemap index and its competition, sport, daily, and team sitemap files. This includes sport landing pages; competition pages and prediction/promotion variants; daily roundups and daily team or competition feeds; and team-specific pages. The sitemap is the source of truth and its route set changes over time. Each item includes a relative id path, a readable name derived from the path, a type grouping, and the canonical url. Use each non-Home id as the category value for /api/v1/livescore/news.
