## 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

## Flashscore Baseball Scraper - Scores, Innings & Line Scores

Baseball results from Flashscore as clean JSON: fixtures for the days you choose, live scores, final results, and
the complete inning-by-inning line score for every game. MLB, NPB, KBO and the domestic leagues below them. No
login, no API key and no proxy. **$0.001 per game.**

### What data you get

- **The full line score.** One entry per inning with the runs scored in it, and they reconcile with the final
  total, which the test suite asserts on every finished game rather than assuming.
- **An unbatted final inning is marked, not zeroed.** When the home team is ahead and never bats in the ninth,
  the feed says `X` and so does this Actor: `home: null, notBatted: true`. Reporting a 0 there would quietly
  corrupt any per-inning analysis you build on it.
- **Status from Flashscore's own stage codes**, so a game in the seventh reads as live, plus `stageDetail`
  naming the exact stage such as `SEVENTH_INNING` or `EXTRA_INNING`.
- **Teams and competition** with IDs, three-letter codes, logos and the Flashscore URL.
- **`raw`**: all 57 original feed fields, so nothing is lost if you need something not mapped above.

### Output example

A game where the home team took the lead and never batted in the ninth:

### Input

| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|-------|------|---------|-------------|
| `mode` | string | `matches` | `matches` for fixtures, live scores and results; `matchDetails` for inning scores, statistics and head to head. |
| `days` | array | `["0"]` | Day offsets from today, from -7 to 7. Note that a night game in the Americas lands on the following UTC day. |
| `status` | array | all | `scheduled`, `live`, `finished`, `postponed`, `cancelled` or `interrupted`. |
| `countries` | array | all | For example USA, Japan, South Korea. |
| `tournamentFilter` | string | — | Case-insensitive regular expression on the competition name, e.g. `mlb`. |
| `matchIds` | array | — | Details mode: match IDs or full `flashscore.com/match/...` URLs. |
| `details` | array | all three | Details mode: `summary`, `statistics`, `h2h`. |
| `maxItems` | integer | `0` | Stop after this many rows; 0 means no limit. |
| `maxConcurrency` | integer | `5` | Parallel requests in details mode. |
| `timeoutSecs` | integer | `30` | Per-request timeout. |
| `proxyConfiguration` | object | off | Optional. Not needed in normal use. |

### Pricing

**$0.001 per game**, and **$0.01 per game** in details mode however many sections you request. A full day across
every league is a few hundred games, so under a dollar. Games that fail or have no data are free.

### Use cases

- **Modelling and sabermetrics**: per-inning run distributions across leagues and seasons, including the games
  most feeds flatten by reporting an unbatted ninth as a zero.
- **Live scoreboards and bots**: poll for in-progress scores and push updates.
- **Fantasy and prediction games**: populate fixtures and settle results.
- **Media**: daily results digests with the line score.
- **AI agents**: a tool that answers "how did last night's games finish, inning by inning".

### Integrations

```bash
curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/clearfetch~flashscore-baseball-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=YOUR_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"days": ["-1"], "countries": ["USA"]}'
```

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_TOKEN")
run = client.actor("clearfetch/flashscore-baseball-scraper").call(run_input={"days": ["-1"]})

for game in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    line = " ".join("X" if i["notBatted"] else str(i["home"]) for i in game["score"]["innings"] or [])
    print(game["home"]["name"], game["score"]["home"], "-", game["score"]["away"], game["away"]["name"], line)
```

Works with the Apify integrations for n8n, Make, Zapier, Google Sheets, Slack and webhooks, with scheduled runs,
and with AI agents through the Apify MCP server.

### FAQ

**Do the innings always add up?** Yes, and it is asserted on every finished game in the test set rather than
assumed. If a game ever fails that check, it means the feed changed and I want to know.

**Why is an inning null instead of 0?** Because the home team did not bat in it. A zero would say they batted and
failed to score, which is a different fact and would skew any per-inning statistic.

**Do I need a proxy?** No. A proxy input exists for completeness.

**Is this legal?** It reads the same public endpoints a browser reads, with no login and no personal data. Scores
are facts. What you do with the data, including redistribution, is your responsibility.

### Changelog

- **1.0.0** (2026-09) — first release: games mode with day ranges and filters, full line scores with unbatted
  innings preserved, details mode with statistics and head to head, status from Flashscore's own stage codes.

# Actor input Schema

## `mode` (type: `string`):

"Games" returns one row per game for the days you choose. "Game details" takes match IDs and returns inning scores, statistics and head-to-head for each one.

## `days` (type: `array`):

Which days to cover, as offsets from today: 0 is today, -1 yesterday, 1 tomorrow. Range -7 to 7. Add several entries to cover a range in one run.

## `status` (type: `array`):

Keep only games in these states. Leave empty for all. Status is resolved from Flashscore's own stage codes, so a game in the seventh inning counts as live.

## `countries` (type: `array`):

Keep only competitions from these countries or regions, for example USA, Japan, Czech Republic. Case-insensitive. Leave empty for all.

## `tournamentFilter` (type: `string`):

Optional case-insensitive regular expression matched against the full competition name, for example "mlb" or "npb|kbo".

## `matchIds` (type: `array`):

Match IDs such as "8pDcRPQq", or full flashscore.com/match/... URLs. Only used in game details mode.

## `details` (type: `array`):

Sections to fetch per game. Leave empty for all three. Each game is charged once no matter how many sections you pick.

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Stop after this many rows. 0 means no limit.

## `maxConcurrency` (type: `integer`):

Parallel requests in details mode.

## `timeoutSecs` (type: `integer`):

Give up on a single feed request after this many seconds.

## `token` (type: `string`):

Advanced. The Actor discovers Flashscore's feed signature automatically and falls back to a known value. Set this only if both stop working and you have a current signature.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Optional. The feed answers plain datacenter requests, so no proxy is needed in normal use.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "mode": "matches",
  "days": [
    "0"
  ],
  "status": [],
  "countries": [],
  "matchIds": [],
  "details": [],
  "maxItems": 0,
  "maxConcurrency": 5,
  "timeoutSecs": 30,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": false
  }
}
```

# Actor output Schema

## `results` (type: `string`):

In games mode, one row per game: status, first-pitch time, competition with country, both teams, final runs and the full inning-by-inning line score, with an unbatted final inning marked rather than reported as a zero. In game details mode, one row per game with inning scores, statistics and head-to-head. Games with no data appear with ok=false and are not charged.
