## 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

## SoccerPunter Football Match Prediction Scraper

Scrape football match fixtures, H2H statistics, team form, kickoff times, and odds from [SoccerPunter.com](https://www.soccerpunter.com/). Supports today's matches, tomorrow's fixtures, and yesterday's results across 800+ global soccer leagues.

### What you get

Each record includes:

- **Match identification** — `matchId`, `league`, `homeTeam`, `awayTeam`, `h2hUrl`
- **Timing** — `kickoffDatetime` (ISO 8601), `kickoffTime` (human-readable UTC)
- **Match day context** — `matchDay` (`today`, `tomorrow`, `yesterday`)
- **Optional H2H detail** — `h2hSummary` and `predictionText` (when `includeH2h: true`)
- **Form** — `homeForm`, `awayForm` (W/D/L strings, when marked up by the site)
- **Prediction fields** — `tip`, `confidence`, `predictionText`, `predictedScore` (reserved; populated when site exposes public data)
- **Results** — `finalScore` (for completed matches on the `yesterday` day mode)
- **Provenance** — `url`, `scrapedAt`

### Input options

| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|-------|------|---------|-------------|
| `matchDay` | string | `today` | Which day to scrape: `today`, `tomorrow`, or `yesterday` |
| `maxItems` | integer | 50 | Maximum number of matches to return |
| `includeH2h` | boolean | false | If true, fetch the H2H statistics page for each match (richer data, more requests) |

### How it works

The actor fetches a single SoccerPunter statistics listing page per run (e.g. `/soccer-statistics/matches_today`). Match rows use alternating `.each_fromrow` divs — league group headers (`style_bar`) and match rows (`style_bar1`). Team names come from bare `<span>` elements; kickoff times are extracted from embedded Unix epoch timestamps in `<script>` tags and converted to ISO 8601.

No authentication is required for basic match data. The site is server-rendered (PHP/SSR) with no Cloudflare or IP-based blocking.

### Usage notes

- A single run typically returns 50–120 matches depending on the day and league density.
- Setting `maxItems` to a small value (5–10) is useful for quick tests.
- The `includeH2h` option queues an additional HTTP request per match — useful for H2H summary history but slower and not needed for basic fixture/odds data.
- Premium prediction fields (`tip`, `confidence`, `predictionText`) are null for public (non-VIP) page content. These fields are reserved for future enhancement when public prediction data becomes available.

  "matchId": "Sri-Lanka-vs-Bhutan_18808",
