## Pricing

Pay per event

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

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

## LoL Esports Schedule & Results Scraper

Scrapes match schedules and results from the official Riot lolesports API — the same source lolesports.com renders. Covers all active leagues: Worlds, MSI, LCS, LEC, LCK, CBLOL, and 10+ regional splits. Data is live, not cached, and includes match state, team scores, best-of format, and VOD links where available.

### What you get

Each record is a flattened match entry from `GET /persisted/gw/getSchedule`:

| Field | Type | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| `event_id` | string | Unique match ID from the lolesports API |
| `league_name` | string | League name (e.g. Worlds, LCS, LEC) |
| `league_region` | string | League slug / region identifier |
| `state` | string | Match state: `unstarted`, `inProgress`, or `completed` |
| `start_time_utc` | string | Match start time in UTC ISO-8601 format |
| `block_name` | string | Stage/block within the tournament (e.g. Groups, Knockouts) |
| `team_1_code` | string | Team 1 abbreviation (e.g. T1, C9) |
| `team_1_name` | string | Team 1 full name |
| `team_1_score` | integer | Team 1 game wins |
| `team_2_code` | string | Team 2 abbreviation |
| `team_2_name` | string | Team 2 full name |
| `team_2_score` | integer | Team 2 game wins |
| `best_of` | integer | Series format (e.g. 3 for best-of-3) |
| `vod_url` | string | VOD replay link when available |
| `source` | string | Always `getSchedule` |

`tournament_id`, `tournament_name`, and `league_id` are currently `null` — the schedule endpoint doesn't expose them. Join on `league_name` if you need full league metadata.

### Input

| Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
|-----------|------|---------|-------------|
| `maxItems` | integer | 10 | Maximum match records to return. Fetches most recent events first. |
| `leagueSlug` | string | worlds | Filter to a specific league slug. Leave blank for all leagues. |

Valid league slugs include: `worlds`, `msi`, `first_stand`, `lcs`, `lec`, `lck`, `lpl`, `cblol-brazil`, `americas_cup`, and others. If you pass an invalid slug, the run fails with a clear error — check the slug against the getLeagues API.

### How it works

The actor calls the Riot lolesports persisted API using the publicly documented shared API key. Each page returns up to 80 events. The cursor in `pages.older` moves backward in time until `maxItems` is reached or there are no more events. When `leagueSlug` is set, the actor resolves the slug to a `leagueId` via a one-time `getLeagues` prefetch and scopes all schedule requests to that league.

Non-match events (show segments, placeholders) are silently skipped.

### Notes

- This API key (`0TvQnueqKa5mxJntVWt0w4LpLfEkrV1Ta8rQBb9Z`) is the publicly documented Riot shared key used by third-party apps and scrapers for years. It's in the clear in countless GitHub repos. If it stops working, open a support ticket.
- Results arrive newest-first by default. If you need a full historical dataset, set `maxItems` high enough to exhaust the schedule.
- Worlds 2026 (October, China) is the high-demand event this actor was built for. The API includes it alongside the year-round regional schedule.
