Four ways to pull data

Mode	What you get
Live now	Everything in play right now for the sports you pick
By tournament	A league's full fixture list and results (past and upcoming)
By team	One team's fixtures and results
By match	Specific matches by id - or just paste the sofascore.com URL

What you get per match

matchId · matchUrl · sport · tournamentName · uniqueTournamentName · categoryName · seasonName · round · statusType · statusDescription · isLive · isFinished · startTime (ISO) · currentMinute · both teams with ids, slugs and countries · homeScore / awayScore · half-time scores · winner · venueName · venueCity

Every row carries every field, so your CSV never has ragged columns.

Optional enrichment

Toggle	Adds
includeStatistics	Up to 47 stat keys - ball possession, expected goals (xG), shots on target, corners, fouls, saves, kilometres covered
includeLineups	Formations plus every player with position, shirt number, rating, minutes, goals, assists and xG
includeIncidents	The full timeline, plus goals and cards pulled out as their own arrays with scorer and assist

Each toggle costs one extra request per match, so they are off by default.

Example input

{
  "mode": "tournament",

  "includeStatistics": true,
  "includeIncidents": true,

Handy tournament ids: 17 Premier League · 8 LaLiga · 35 Bundesliga · 23 Serie A · 34 Ligue 1 · 7 UEFA Champions League. Don't know an id? Open the competition or team on sofascore.com and copy the number out of the URL - in event mode you can paste the whole URL and the actor reads the id out for you.

Pricing

$0.002 per match. You are charged only for rows actually delivered to your dataset. A run that returns nothing - no live matches right now, or an id that doesn't exist - costs $0 and tells you which of those it was.

Honest limits

• Player ratings and xG are published by SofaScore only for higher-profile fixtures. Measured: 31 of 42 players rated on a Champions League tie, 0 of 23 on a women's qualifying match. Those sub-fields are left null when SofaScore has no value - never defaulted to 0.
• venueName / venueCity come from the match detail payload. They are populated in event mode and null in live/tournament/team modes, because fetching detail for every match would triple the cost of a live-scores run.
• currentMinute applies to clock-based sports in progress. Basketball and similar are period-scored, so SofaScore publishes a quarter rather than an elapsed clock.
• Live coverage follows local kick-off times. An empty live run at 4am UTC is not a fault - use tournament or team mode for fixtures and results instead.

Automate & schedule

Run this Actor on autopilot and pull results into your own stack:

• Apify API - start runs, fetch datasets and manage schedules over REST.
• apify-client for JavaScript and apify-client for Python - official SDKs.
• Schedules - run it hourly, daily or weekly and keep your dataset current.
• Webhooks - trigger downstream actions (CRM import, Slack alert, email sequence) the moment a run finishes.

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'MY_APIFY_TOKEN' });

const run = await client.actor('scrapesage/sofascore-scraper').call({
    "mode": "live",
    "sports": [
        "football"
    ],
    "maxResults": 50,
    "proxyConfiguration": {
        "useApifyProxy": true,
        "apifyProxyGroups": [
            "RESIDENTIAL"
        ]
    }
});

const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(`Got ${items.length} records`);

Integrate with any app

Connect the dataset to thousands of apps - no code required:

• Make - multi-step automation scenarios.
• Zapier - push new records straight into your CRM or spreadsheet.
• Slack - get notified when a scheduled run finds something new.
• Google Drive / Sheets - auto-export every run to a spreadsheet.
• Airbyte - pipe results into your data warehouse.
• GitHub - trigger runs from commits or releases.

Use with AI assistants (MCP)

The output is clean, LLM-ready JSON. You can call this Actor from Claude, ChatGPT or any agent framework through the Apify MCP server - describe the data you need and let the assistant run this Actor for you.

Agent-ready: autonomous payments (x402 & Skyfire)

This actor is agent-ready — AI agents can discover it, run it, and pay for it autonomously, with no Apify account and no human in the loop. It uses pay-per-event pricing and limited permissions, so it qualifies for Apify's agentic-payment standards:

• x402 — an open, HTTP-native payment protocol. Agents pay per run in USDC on the Base network directly through the Apify MCP server — no account, no API key.
• Skyfire — agent-to-service payments for fully autonomous AI-agent workflows.

Which export formats are available? Every run's dataset can be downloaded as JSON, CSV, Excel (XLSX), XML, HTML or RSS from the Apify Console or the API.

Can I run it from code or an AI agent? Yes - through the Apify API and client libraries, or from Claude, ChatGPT and other assistants via the Apify MCP server.

Tips

• Schedule live mode every few minutes for a rolling scoreboard; dedupe on matchId.
• For xG analysis, use tournament mode with onlyFinished: true and includeStatistics: true.
• winner is only set once a match ends - deliberately null in progress rather than guessing.
