Transfermarkt Scraper - Market Values, Squads and Transfers

Transfermarkt scraper for player market values, squads, contracts and transfer fees: give it a league code (GB1, L1, ES1, IT1, FR1 and any other Transfermarkt competition) or club URLs and get one clean row per player. Schedule it to monitor market value changes, new signings and departures between runs.

What does Transfermarkt Scraper do?

It reads the public Transfermarkt league and detailed squad pages and returns one row per player: name, position, shirt number, date of birth and age, nationalities, height, preferred foot, the date the player joined the club, the previous club with the transfer fee, contract end, market value as shown and in euros, photo and profile link, plus club, league and season.

• Leagues: every club of a league (or the top N clubs by market value) in one run. Works for any Transfermarkt competition code: Premier League GB1, Championship GB2, Bundesliga L1, LaLiga ES1, Serie A IT1, Ligue 1 FR1, Eredivisie NL1, Liga Portugal PO1, Super Lig TR1, MLS MLS1 and more. League names such as "serie a" work too.
• Clubs: any club URL or numeric club id, also outside the big leagues.
• Seasons: the current season by default, or any past season by start year (2025 for 25/26).
• Transfers: joinedThisSeason, joinedDate, signedFrom and transferFee show the summer and winter signings of every squad.
• Market value and transfer monitor: with Track market value changes on (the default) the actor remembers every squad. Schedule the same input and each row tells you the previous market value and the change in euros, isNewInSquad marks new arrivals, and the OUTPUT record lists departed players. Turn on Only changed players to pay only for changes.

No login, no Transfermarkt account and no API key are needed. Proxy is included in the price.

Who is it for?

• Football scouts and agents screening squads by age, position, contract end and market value.
• Fantasy football, betting and sports data analysts who need market values and squads as structured data per league.
• Clubs and journalists following transfer windows: new signings, fees and departures per club.
• Data teams and app builders who want a Transfermarkt API alternative for market values and transfers.

How much does it cost?

You pay only for player rows: $1.50 per 1,000 players on the Free plan, with lower prices on paid Apify plans. League pages, club pages and the proxy are not charged extra.

Worked examples:

• One full Premier League squad list (20 clubs, about 550 players) costs about $0.83.
• A scout who monitors the top 5 European leagues (about 2,700 players) once a week reads about 10,800 rows a month, about $16.20 per month. With Only changed players on, unchanged players are skipped and not charged.

Set "Max players" or a maximum cost per run to cap spending.

Integrations and API

Run it from your code with the Apify API or the apify-client package, schedule it in Apify, or connect it to Make, n8n, Zapier, Google Sheets or a webhook (for example a Slack message when marketValueChangeEur is above 5,000,000 or isNewInSquad is true).

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>")
run = client.actor("kamerozkan/transfermarkt-scraper").call(run_input={
    "leagues": ["GB1", "ES1"],
    "minMarketValueEur": 20000000,
    "maxPlayers": 500,
})
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item["name"], item["clubName"], item["marketValueEur"], item["contractUntil"])

FAQ

Which league codes can I use? Every Transfermarkt competition code: it is the part after /wettbewerb/ in a league URL, for example GB1 in transfermarkt.com/premier-league/startseite/wettbewerb/GB1. You can also paste the league URL itself.

Can I get a past season? Yes. Set Season to the start year: 2025 for 25/26, 2024 for 24/25. Squads, clubs and market values are then those of that season.

How do I track transfers? Each row shows when the player joined, from which club and for which fee. joinedThisSeason marks this season's arrivals. With change tracking on, a scheduled run also marks new arrivals since your last run and lists departures in the OUTPUT record.

How does it know the previous market value? It stores the last squad of each club and season in a key-value store in your own Apify account. Different seasons keep separate histories.

Why is transferFee empty for some players? Youth players promoted from the club's own academy and some free agents have no fee on Transfermarkt.

Can I look up single players by profile URL? Not yet: this version reads squads. Open an issue if you need player profiles, market value history or league transfer lists and it will be added.

Is it legal to collect this data? It collects public football data that Transfermarkt shows to every visitor: professional players as public sports figures, their clubs, contracts and market values. No logins and no private persons' data. You are responsible for how you use it.
