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 ## TheSportsDB Actor Fetches sports teams, players, and events. ### Quick Start ```json { "mode": "searchTeam", "query": "Arsenal" } ```` ### Modes | Mode | Description | Required Input | |---|---|---| | `searchTeam` | Search teams by name | `query` | | `searchPlayer` | Search players by name | `query` | | `leagueTeams` | All teams in a league | `leagueId` | | `leagueEvents` | Events for a season | `leagueId`, `season` | | `pastEvents` | Recent past events | `leagueId` | | `nextEvents` | Upcoming events | `leagueId` | | `teamDetails` | Team info by ID | `teamId` | | `playerDetails` | Player bio by ID | `playerId` | | `teamNext5` | Team's next 5 fixtures | `teamId` | | `teamLast5` | Team's last 5 results | `teamId` | | `allLeagues` | List all leagues | — | | `allSports` | List all sports | — | | `allCountries` | List all countries | — | | `seasonList` | Available seasons | `leagueId` | ### Common League IDs `4328` EPL · `4331` Bundesliga · `4332` Serie A · `4334` La Liga · `4335` Ligue 1 · `4346` MLS · `4387` NBA · `4391` NFL · `4380` NHL · `4424` MLB ### Output Records pushed to default dataset + `OUTPUT`, `METADATA`, `OUTPUT_CSV` in key-value store. # Actor input Schema ## `mode` (type: `string`): What data to fetch. ## `query` (type: `string`): Team or player name for search modes (e.g. 'Arsenal', 'Messi'). ## `leagueId` (type: `string`): TheSportsDB league ID.
