Plan: All plans
Auth: Bearer dsa_live_…
Parameters: None
Returns: An object (see Response)

Lists all supported sports, each with the number of matches live right now.

Matches the source has left open — 45 min without any change, with a kick-off further back than a match in that sport could run — do not count towards it. kind tells you which endpoint family serves the sport: fixtures, for sports served by the Fixtures, Teams and Leagues endpoints; races, for motorsport and cycling, which the Race sports endpoints cover (their fixture lists stay empty).
