Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. 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. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## ⚽ World Cup 2026 — Real-Time Events Notifications Hook up your app, bot, or automation to **live match pings** for World Cup 2026. This setup actor is the one-time “where should we send stuff?” step. ### What you get 🔔 Once you’re in, your webhook gets **instant POST notifications** when the action hits the pitch: - ⚽ Goals (scorer + assist when available) - 🟨🟥 Cards (Red/Yellow) - 🔄 Substitutions - ⏱️ Match phases — kickoff, HT, 2nd half, FT, stoppage time No polling. No F5 spam. Events land on your URL as they happen. ### Live examples on Webhook.site Real POSTs from the delivery service during live WC26 — open the inbox to inspect full JSONs: https://webhook.site/#!/view/01b18b65-2625-4129-88f1-3ca2cdfe0615 Each notification is a separate POST. ### How it works (5 seconds setup) 1. **Run this actor** with your webhook URL 2. **We save it** next to your Apify account 3. **Our delivery service** fires JSON at you during live matches One setup run → notifications in the background all tournament long. Free. Easy. ### Input | Field | Default | Description | |-------|---------|-------------| | `webhookUrl` | — | Your HTTPS endpoint for notifications (required) | | `subscribeGoals` | `true` | Goals (scorer + assist when available) | | `subscribeYellowCards` | `false` | Yellow cards | | `subscribeRedCards` | `false` | Red cards | | `subscribePeriods` | `false` | Match phases — kickoff, HT, 2nd half, FT, stoppage time | | `subscribeSubstitutions` | `false` | Substitutions | ```json { "webhookUrl": "https://your-server.com/notifications/wc26", "subscribeGoals": true, "subscribeYellowCards": false, "subscribeRedCards": true, "subscribePeriods": false, "subscribeSubstitutions": true } ```` Node, Python, Zapier, Make, n8n, Discord/Slack bridges — if it accepts POST, you’re good. ### Output (dataset) Successful run = one confirmation row: ```json { "subscriptionId": "uuid", "apifyUserId": "your-apify-user-id", "webhookUrl": "https://your-server.com/notifications/wc26", "eventTypes": { "goals": true, "yellowCards": false, "redCards": true, "periods": false, "substitutions": true }, "updatedAt": "2026-06-11T12:00:00.000Z" } ``` ### Changing your URL - One slot per Apify user - Run again with a **new URL** → we swap it in - No duplicate subscriptions cluttering things ### What a notification looks like 📬 During live World Cup matches, the delivery service **POSTs JSON** to your `webhookUrl`. #### HTTP request ```http POST /notifications/wc26 HTTP/1.1 Host: your-server.com Content-Type: application/json { ... body below ... } ``` You only receive event types you enabled at setup (`subscribeGoals`, `subscribeYellowCards`, etc.). If you left only **Goals** checked, you will not get cards or subs. Below: JSON shapes from live delivery. For raw POSTs with timestamps, see the [Webhook.site inbox](https://webhook.site/#!/view/01b18b65-2625-4129-88f1-3ca2cdfe0615). #### Goal (with scorer + assist) Live delivery — **Canada vs Bosnia & Herzegovina** (event `15186836`), also visible on [Webhook.site](https://webhook.site/#!/view/01b18b65-2625-4129-88f1-3ca2cdfe0615/231b24f2-7133-4a06-b135-5dfcc326f813/1): ```json { "ts": "2026-06-12T20:59:02.379Z", "eventId": 15186836, "subject": "event.15186836", "channel": "incidents", "incidentId": 351558696, "homeTeam": "Canada", "awayTeam": "Bosnia & Herzegovina", "match": "Canada vs Bosnia & Herzegovina", "summary": { "kind": "goal", "type": "goal", "class": "regular", "side": "away", "team": "Bosnia & Herzegovina", "minute": 21, "player": "J.

Kolašinac" } ``` Earlier WC26 example — **Mexico vs South Africa** (event `15186710`): ```json { "ts": "2026-06-11T19:14:50.813Z", "eventId": 15186710, "subject": "event.15186710", "channel": "score", "homeTeam": "Mexico", "awayTeam": "South Africa", "match": "Mexico vs South Africa", "summary": { "kind": "goal", "side": "home", "team": "Mexico", "score": "1-0", "player": "J.

Demirović", "text": "yellow — E. Demirović 45'" }, "team": "Bosnia & Herzegovina", "player": "E. Demirović" } ``` #### Substitution `playerIn` / `playerOut` appear **only** on substitutions. Live delivery — **Canada vs Bosnia & Herzegovina**: ```json { "ts": "2026-06-12T20:22:12.251Z", "eventId": 15186836, "subject": "event.15186836", "channel": "incidents", "incidentId": 126397427, "homeTeam": "Canada", "awayTeam": "Bosnia & Herzegovina", "match": "Canada vs Bosnia & Herzegovina", "summary": { "kind": "substitution", "type": "substitution", "class": "regular", "side": "home", "team": "Canada", "minute": 61, "text": "Sub — L. Millar → J. Shaffelburg 61'", "playerIn": "J. Shaffelburg", "playerOut": "L. Millar" }, "team": "Canada", "playerIn": "J. Shaffelburg", "playerOut": "L. Millar" } ``` #### Match phases (kickoff → HT → 2H → FT) Enable **`subscribePeriods`** for whistle-to-whistle milestones. One POST per phase change. Same top-level shape as goals and cards: `homeTeam`, `awayTeam`, `match`, and a readable `summary.text`. | Moment | `summary.phase` | `summary.text` example | |--------|-----------------|------------------------| | First half | `first_half` | `First half — Mexico vs South Africa (0-0)` | | Halftime | `halftime` | `Halftime — Mexico vs South Africa (1-0)` | | Second half | `second_half` | `Second half — Mexico vs South Africa (1-0)` | Full time — webhook JSON sample: ```json { "ts": "2026-06-14T13:18:21.287Z", "eventId": 16159825, "subject": "sport.football", "channel": "score", "homeTeam": "Úvalno", "awayTeam": "Sokol Zlatníky", "match": "Úvalno vs Sokol Zlatníky", "summary": { "kind": "status", "type": "period", "phase": "full_time", "text": "Full time — Úvalno vs Sokol Zlatníky (2-3)", "score": { "home": 2, "away": 3 }, "status": { "code": 100, "description": "Ended" } } } ``` Halftime — webhook JSON sample: ```json { "ts": "2026-06-11T19:55:00.676Z", "eventId": 15186710, "subject": "sport.football", "channel": "score", "homeTeam": "Mexico", "awayTeam": "South Africa", "match": "Mexico vs South Africa", "summary": { "kind": "status", "type": "period", "phase": "halftime", "text": "Halftime — Mexico vs South Africa (1-0)", "score": { "home": 1, "away": 0 }, "status": { "code": 31, "description": "Halftime" } } } ``` Stoppage time uses `summary.kind: "stoppage_time"` with `minutes` and `period` (1 or 2). Other phases use the same shape: **`first_half`**, **`second_half`**, **`extra_time`**, **`penalties`**. #### Field cheat sheet | Field | Meaning | |-------|---------| | `ts` | When we sent the notification (ISO 8601) | | `eventId` | Match id — stable for the whole game | | `channel` | `score` (live socket) or `incidents` (API enrich for cards/subs) | | `summary.kind` | `goal`, `yellow`, `red`, `substitution`, `status`, `stoppage_time`, … | | `summary.type` | `goal`, `card`, `substitution`, or `period` for match phases | | `summary.phase` | Period only: `first_half`, `halftime`, `second_half`, `full_time`, `stoppage_time`, … | | `summary.text` | Human-readable one-liner | | `summary.score` | `{ "home": 1, "away": 0 }` on goals and periods | | `player` / `assist` | Scorer and assist on goals; player on cards | | `playerIn` / `playerOut` | Substitution only | ### You’re live when… Delivery kicks in once your URL is on the notification service.
