## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## Sports Fixtures, Scores & Odds — 335 Leagues, Live

Pay only for the event records you receive. No API keys, no subscriptions, no rate-limit headaches.

### What you get per event

  "startsAt": "2026-07-12T18:10Z",
  "status": "scheduled",
  "homeTeam": "Pittsburgh Pirates",
  "awayTeam": "Milwaukee Brewers",
  "homeScore": null,
  "awayScore": null,
  "venue": "PNC Park",
  "round": null,
  "odds": [
    {
      "bookmaker": "draftkings",

    }
  ]
}
```

Statuses: `scheduled` → `live` (with live scores) → `finished` (with final scores + winner), plus `postponed` / `cancelled`.

### Use cases

- **Betting models & odds analysis** — moneyline/spread/totals in American + decimal formats
- **AI agents** — works out of the box as an MCP tool in Claude, Cursor and other agent clients
- **Sports apps & widgets** — fixtures and live scores for any league without an expensive data contract
- **Research** — results + closing prices for backtesting

### Input

| Field | Example | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| `sports` | `["soccer","tennis"]` | empty = all active leagues |
| `leagues` | `["soccer.eng.1","baseball.mlb","mma.ufc"]` | exact keys, overrides `sports` — [full catalog](https://github.com/apify/actor/blob/main/LEAGUES.md) in LEAGUES.md |
| `daysAhead` / `daysBack` | `3` / `1` | date window |
| `includeOdds` | `true` | attach bookmaker prices to upcoming events |
| `onlyWithOdds` | `false` | drop events without prices |
| `includeStandings` | `false` | one standings record per league (rank, points, W/D/L) |
| `maxEvents` | `2000` | hard cost cap |

### Popular league keys

`soccer.eng.1` Premier League · `soccer.esp.1` LaLiga · `soccer.ger.1` Bundesliga · `soccer.ita.1` Serie A · `soccer.uefa.champions` Champions League · `soccer.fifa.world` World Cup · `soccer.bra.1` Brasileirão · `soccer.usa.1` MLS · `basketball.nba` NBA · `football.nfl` NFL · `baseball.mlb` MLB · `hockey.nhl` NHL · `tennis.atp` / `tennis.wta` ATP & WTA · `mma.ufc` UFC

Full list of all 335 keys: **LEAGUES.md** in this repo. Dormant leagues (off-season) wake up automatically.

### Odds coverage

Bookmaker prices (currently DraftKings via ESPN's public betting feed) are available for US sports (MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL, WNBA) and top soccer competitions, on h2h/moneyline, spreads and totals. Tennis and MMA return fixtures/results only.

### FAQ

**Where does the data come from?** Publicly available ESPN endpoints, fetched politely and normalized into one clean schema.

**How fresh is it?** Fetched live at run time. Schedule the actor (e.g. every 30 minutes) to maintain your own always-current dataset.

**Legal?** The actor accesses only publicly available data — the same information anyone sees in a browser. No logins, no paywalls, no personal data.
