MelBet Odds Scraper

What does MelBet Odds Scraper do?

MelBet Odds Scraper collects betting odds from MelBet and returns one clean row per match: the two teams, competition, start time, live status and decimal prices for the main markets (1X2, double chance, totals, both teams to score, draw no bet and handicaps). Choose sports, leagues or single matches, switch between pre-match and live, and export the result as JSON, CSV or Excel or call it from the API. Use it for odds comparison, line movement tracking, value-bet and arbitrage screening and model back-testing.

Why use MelBet Odds Scraper?

• Odds ready to use: named markets, no decoding.
• Pre-match and live in one Actor.
• Whole sports or leagues in one run.
• Clean, deduplicated rows with ISO times.
• Plugs into the odds comparison and value-bet Actors.

What makes this different

MelBet is a major bookmaker across Africa, Asia and Eastern Europe with very deep football markets. This Actor returns its prices as flat rows with the main markets already named, so comparing MelBet against other bookmakers, or against your own model, needs no extra parsing.

How it works

1. Your input — choose the sports, leagues or matches.
2. The Actor collects it — the Actor reads the current MelBet board.
3. Your output — you get one row per match with the odds attached.

5. Open the Output tab, then download the dataset or connect it to your tools.

Input Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Default	Description
mode	string	No	"line"	Which odds to collect: pre-match (line), in-play (live), or both.
sports	array	No	["Football"]	Sports to collect, by name ("Football", "Tennis", "Basketball", "Ice Hockey", "Cricket", "Esports", ...) or numeric MelBet sport ID. Use ["all"] for every sport.
leagueUrls	array	No	[]	Optional. Paste MelBet league page URLs to target specific competitions, e.g. https://melbet.com/en/line/football/105759-england-championship . When set, these are collected in addition to the sports above.
matchUrls	array	No	[]	Optional. Paste individual MelBet match page URLs to collect EVERY market for that match — 1X2, totals, handicaps, corners, cards, both halves, correct score, and the rest (often 1,000+ selections). Example: https://melbet.com/en/line/football/105759-england-championship/748230818-west-ham-wolves
maxMatches	integer	No	5	Maximum number of matches to collect in one run. Default is 5 for a quick test; set 0 to return everything available.
includeOutcomes	boolean	No	true	Add an outcomes array with every individual selection (market, line, odds) on top of the ready-to-use odds object. Turn off for smaller rows.
deepMarkets	boolean	No	false	For each match URL, also fetch the separate sub-game markets — corners, cards, goalscorers, players' stats, each half in full. Adds many extra requests per match, so only use it with a small list of match URLs.
useCache	boolean	No	false	Reuse match records collected in an earlier run. Disabled by default so every run returns live odds.
proxyConfiguration	object	No	{"useApifyProxy":true,"apifyProxyGroups":["RESIDENTIAL"],"apifyProxyCountry":"SN"}	MelBet is geo-restricted and blocks datacenter traffic. Use Apify Residential proxy and choose a country where MelBet operates (for example Senegal, Nigeria, DR Congo, Cameroon). It is NOT available in the UK, the US, or much of the EU.

Output Data

odds holds the main markets as decimal prices, status and isLive show whether the match is in play, and the full selection list is kept alongside for less common markets.

Tips for Best Results

Known Limitations

• MelBet availability depends on your region; the Actor uses the proxy configured in the input.
• Odds move constantly; a row is a snapshot at collection time.
• Live markets can be briefly suspended, leaving some prices missing.
• Only public odds are collected: no accounts, no bets.
