Flashscore Basketball Scraper - Live Scores, Quarters & Stats

Get basketball data from Flashscore as clean JSON: fixtures for the days you choose, live scores, final results, and the score in every quarter and overtime period. Per game you can also pull the full statistics sheet, from field-goal percentages to rebounds, assists and turnovers. NBA, EuroLeague, NCAA and every domestic league Flashscore covers. No login, no API key and no proxy.

What data you get

Games mode returns one row per game:

• Quarter-by-quarter scores that add up to the final score, plus any overtime periods as their own entries.
• Status resolved from Flashscore's own stage codes, not guessed: scheduled, live, finished, postponed, cancelled or interrupted, plus stageDetail naming the exact stage (FIRST_QUARTER, THIRD_QUARTER, EXTRA_TIME, AWARDED).
• Competition: name, country, phase such as Play Offs, plus IDs and the Flashscore URL.
• Teams: name, Flashscore team ID and slug, three-letter code and logo.
• raw: all 43 original feed fields for the game, so nothing is lost if you need something we did not map.

Game details mode takes match IDs and returns, per game:

• Period scores straight from the source.
• Full statistics split by period and group: field goals attempted, made and percentage, three pointers, free throws, offensive and defensive rebounds, assists, turnovers, steals and blocks. 100 rows for the example below.
• Head to head: recent form for both teams and their previous meetings.

How to use

1. Choose Games mode and set Days (0 is today, -1 yesterday, 1 tomorrow; add several for a range).
2. Optionally narrow by status, by country, or with a regular expression on the competition name such as nba.
3. Run it, then export as JSON, CSV or Excel, or read it from the API. For a deeper look at one game, run the Actor again in Game details mode with the matchId values you got back.

A game that cannot be found, or has no data yet, produces { "matchId": "...", "ok": false, "error": "..." } and is not charged.

Pricing

• $0.001 per game in games mode. A normal day is a few hundred games worldwide, so well under a dollar for everything, or a few cents once you filter by country or competition.
• $0.01 per game in details mode, whatever number of sections you request. Period scores, the whole statistics sheet and both teams' recent form count as one charge.
• Games that fail or have no data are free. Runs on the Apify free plan.

Use cases

• Betting and trading models: build a history of quarter splits, shooting percentages and pace, then keep it current with a scheduled daily run.
• Live scoreboards and bots: poll games mode for in-play scores and push updates to a site, app or Discord.
• Fantasy basketball: pull box-score style statistics per game.
• Media and newsletters: generate daily results digests with the quarter breakdown.
• Research and machine learning: label datasets across leagues, including overtime games and abandoned ones.
• AI agents: give an assistant a tool that answers "what was the score by quarter in last night's games".

FAQ

Do I need a proxy? No. The feed answers ordinary datacenter requests. A proxy input exists if you want one.

Do I need a Flashscore account? No. Nothing here requires a login or a cookie.

Do the quarter scores always add up? Yes, and the Actor's tests assert it on every finished game in the fixture set. Overtime periods are returned separately so you can tell regulation from what followed.

How fresh is the data? Each run reads the feed live, so games in progress carry their current score. Schedule a run every few minutes if you need a running scoreboard.

What if Flashscore changes its feed signature? The Actor discovers the current signature from the site on every run and falls back to a known value, so a rotation does not break it. The token input is a last resort.

Which sports does this cover? Basketball. The same feed carries other sports; ask if you want one added.

Is this legal? It reads the same public endpoints a browser reads, with no login and no personal data. Scores and results are facts. You are responsible for how you use the data, including any redistribution.
