# Today's football scores — Premier League, LaLiga, Serie A

**Use case:** 

Live and finished matches from the five big European leagues plus the Champions League, as they stand right now. Leave the date empty and every run returns the matchday that is actually on: live scores with the clock, the day's results, or the next round when nothing is playing. Score, status, venue, attendance, broadcaster and the ESPN match link on every row.

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/chorelet/sports-scores-scraper.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
