## 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.

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

## FotMob Scraper - Live Scores, xG, Ratings & Standings

> Unofficial community Actor. Not affiliated with FotMob.

**FotMob scraper** and **FotMob API alternative** for football fixtures, live scores, league standings, match details (lineups, xG, player ratings), team squads, player profiles, transfers, and search — in **one Actor**. Pull structured JSON with **Python**, **Node.js**, **cURL**, or **MCP**. Optional `locale=de` for German URLs and Accept-Language.

### Sports data suite

| Actor | Role |
| --- | --- |
| FotMob Scraper ◄── you are here | Football scores, xG, ratings, standings, transfers |
| [PrizePicks Player Props Scraper](https://apify.com/crawloop/prizepicks-player-props-scraper) | US DFS pick'em lines |
| [Underdog Fantasy Player Props](https://apify.com/crawloop/underdog-fantasy-player-props-scraper-real-time-lines-odds) | Underdog props & odds |
| [DFS Multi-Source Props Scraper](https://apify.com/crawloop/dfs-multi-source-props-scraper) | Cross-platform props board |

**Suite next step:** after FotMob match ratings / xG, run [PrizePicks Player Props Scraper](https://apify.com/crawloop/prizepicks-player-props-scraper) or [DFS Multi-Source Props Scraper](https://apify.com/crawloop/dfs-multi-source-props-scraper) to join player form with live pick'em lines.

### When to use

- Pull **today's fixtures, live scores, and final results** across all competitions in one run
- Export **Bundesliga / Premier League standings**, season fixtures, and top scorers
- Deep-dive a match: **lineups, events, team stats (xG), per-player ratings**
- Load **team squads** or **player profiles** by FotMob id / URL
- Track the **transfers feed** or **search** teams and players by name
- Chain date matches → match details with `enrichMatchDetails` (no glue Actors)

**When not to use:** deep market-value / transfer-fee history — this Actor focuses on FotMob scores, ratings, and match analytics.

### Key features

- **Eight modes** — `matches`, `leagues`, `league`, `match`, `team`, `player`, `transfers`, `search` (+ `auto`)
- **One Actor vs fragmented suites** — directory → standings → match details without hopping listings
- **Enrich toggle** — `enrichMatchDetails` expands fixtures into full detail records in the same run
- **xG & ratings** — team stats and per-player ratings when FotMob publishes them
- **Locale** — `en` or `de` (German site paths / language headers; same global ids)
- **HTTP-first** — `curl_cffi` Chrome TLS against FotMob `/api/data/*`; browser not required
- **Failed lookups not written** — only successful records land in the dataset

  "date": "20260804",
  "source": "fotmob-scraper",
  "scrapedAt": "2026-08-04T16:00:00Z"
}
```

### Use cases

- Daily **football data pipeline**: schedule `matches` → optional `enrichMatchDetails`
- **Prediction / model features**: xG, ratings, lineups from `match` mode
- **Fantasy / tipster research**: upcoming fixtures + team form tables
- **CMS scoreboards**: finished results for a date range as CSV/JSON
- **ID discovery**: `leagues` or `search` to resolve FotMob ids for downstream runs

### Integration examples

#### Node.js

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: process.env.APIFY_TOKEN });
const run = await client.actor('crawloop/fotmob-scraper').call({
  mode: 'matches',
  timezone: 'Europe/Berlin',
  maxItems: 100,
});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(items.slice(0, 5));
```

#### Python

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient(token="YOUR_TOKEN")
run = client.actor("crawloop/fotmob-scraper").call(run_input={
    "mode": "league",
    "leagueIds": ["54"],
    "includeStandings": True,
    "includeFixtures": True,
})
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item.get("name"), len(item.get("standings") or []))
```

#### cURL

```bash
curl -s -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/crawloop~fotmob-scraper/runs?token=$APIFY_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"mode":"match","matchIds":["4506324"],"includePlayerStats":true,"includeTeamStats":true}'
```

### MCP and AI assistants

Use this Actor from AI tools via [Apify MCP](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp). Connect your Apify account, then call this Actor by its Store ID / name (`crawloop/fotmob-scraper`).

Example prompts:

- "Run FotMob Scraper for today's matches in Europe/Berlin and return finished games as JSON"
- "Scrape Bundesliga league id 54 standings and top scorers with FotMob Scraper"
- "Get FotMob match details for match id 4506324 with lineups and xG, then summarize player ratings"

### FAQ

**Do I need a FotMob account?**\
No. The Actor uses public JSON endpoints — no login required.

**Is German `/de` a different dataset?**\
No — locale only affects language headers and URL prefix. Competition and match ids are global.

**How do I find league or match ids?**\
Run `mode=leagues` or `mode=search`, or start from `mode=matches` and read `matchId` / `leagueId` on each row.

**Can I get historical seasons?**\
Yes — `mode=league` with `seasons` like `2024/2025` when FotMob lists that season under `availableSeasons`.

**What about transfers vs Transfermarkt?**\
This Actor exposes FotMob's transfers feed (recent moves). Deep fee histories belong in a Transfermarkt-focused tool.

**Can I use this as a FotMob API alternative in production?**\
Yes for scheduled pipelines and exports (JSON/CSV). Respect fair use and FotMob terms; endpoints can change.
