Statmuse Player Scraper

Statmuse Player Scraper (statmuse.com) is a sports data scraper for collecting structured player profile and stats-table data from Statmuse player pages.

Introduction

The Statmuse Player scraper starts from Statmuse URLs (query/list pages or direct player pages), follows player links, and extracts structured player data such as name, team, cards sections, and stats tables.

Use Cases

• Sports research: Build structured datasets for player comparison and trend tracking.
• Content enrichment: Add player stats and profile data to sports products and dashboards.
• Monitoring workflows: Track updates on player pages over time.
• Analytics pipelines: Feed BI tools, internal warehousing, or downstream automations.

Input

Provide the following fields:

• startUrls (array, required): Statmuse URLs to start from.
• maxItems (integer, optional): Maximum number of player items to extract per start URL.
• proxyConfiguration (object, optional): Apify proxy settings.

Notes:

• If a startUrl is a player URL (/player/...), the actor extracts that player page directly.
• If a startUrl is a query/list page (for example /ask/...), the actor collects player links from that page.
• Non-Statmuse domains are ignored.
• Crawling stops per source URL when maxItems is reached.

Input Examples

1) Start URLs

{
  "startUrls": [
    {
      "url": "https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask/most-points-this-season"
    },
    {
      "url": "https://www.statmuse.com/nba/player/lebron-james-1780"
    }
  ],
  "maxItems": 10,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true
  }
}

Output

Each dataset item contains fields like:

{
  "name": "LeBron James",
  "team": "Los Angeles Lakers",
  "url": "https://www.statmuse.com/nba/player/lebron-james-1780",
  "originalUrl": "https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask/most-points-this-season",
  "cards": {
    "Per Game": {
      "pts": "24.8",
      "reb": "7.8",
      "ast": "8.2"
    }
  },
  "tables": {
    "Game Log": [
      {
        "Date": "2026-01-10",
        "PTS": "31",
        "REB": "9",
        "AST": "7"
      }
    ]
  }
}

The scraper processes player pages and stops when maxItems is reached per start URL or when no more player links are found.
