What makes this different

Sport-specific scoreboards need a different tool per league. This Actor covers 14 leagues with one input and one output schema, and adds odds, weather and venue next to every score.

How it works

1. Your input — choose leagues, a start date and how many days ahead.
2. The Actor collects it — the Actor reads each league's scoreboard for those days concurrently.
3. Your output — you get one clean row per game with scores, odds, weather and venue.

Tips for Best Results

• Dates follow US Eastern time, so late games can appear on the previous day.
• Use the status filter for a live scoreboard and schedule the Actor every few minutes.
• Odds appear as sportsbooks post them, usually a few days before the game.
• Default is 5 results for a fast test. Set the max to 0 to return everything available.

Known Limitations

• Odds come from one provider and are not a line-movement history.
• Weather is only present for outdoor games and only close to kickoff.
• Odds are usually missing for smaller leagues and far-future games.
• The date window is limited to 15 days per run.
