💰 Pricing

Event	Price (USD)	When it is charged
Actor Start (apify-actor-start)	$5e-05	Charged when the Actor starts running. Number of events charged depends on Actor memory (one event per GB, minimum one event).
Game record (apify-default-dataset-item)	$0.005	Single result in the default dataset.

Pay-per-event: you pay only for what the run delivers. A run that delivers nothing bills no result events (only the actor-start event, when the actor defines one). Example: a run that delivers 100 results costs 100 × $0.005 = $0.50 plus the start fee.

What This Actor Does

The NBA Scoreboard Scraper connects to NBA and extracts NBA game data including live and final scores, team standings, season schedules, box scores, and player statistics for every game. It handles pagination, rate limiting, and data normalization automatically so you get clean, structured JSON output ready for your database, dashboard, or analytics pipeline. No API keys to manage, no infrastructure to maintain.

Who Uses This

Sports betting apps consuming live score data, fantasy basketball platforms tracking real-time performance, sports journalists building data-driven stories, and analytics teams modeling game outcomes. If you need sports data at scale without building and maintaining your own extraction pipeline, this actor handles the heavy lifting.

What You Get Back

Each run produces a structured dataset in JSON format. Every record includes all available fields from the source, normalized into a consistent schema. The data is immediately available for export in JSON, CSV, or Excel format, or you can push it directly to your data warehouse via Apify integrations with Google Sheets, Slack, Webhooks, and 50+ other platforms.

How It Compares

NBA Stats API is unofficial and frequently changes. SportsRadar NBA feed costs $500+/month minimum. Free alternatives are unreliable and lack structured output. This actor delivers the same data at $3 per 1,000 results with zero monthly commitment, no API key management, and results available in seconds. Pay only for what you use.

Sample Output

{
  "source": "nba-scoreboard",
  "data": "Structured sports data fields",
  "timestamp": "2024-03-29T12:00:00Z",

Use Cases

Teams use the NBA Scoreboard Scraper across a range of workflows. Analysts feed the output into business intelligence dashboards for real-time monitoring. Developers integrate it into automated data pipelines that run on daily or weekly schedules. Researchers use bulk exports for large-scale analysis projects. Marketing teams track competitive movements and industry trends. The structured output format means the data slots into virtually any downstream system with minimal transformation.

Pricing: $3 per 1,000 Results

At $3/1K, processing 5,000 results costs $15.00 total. A daily pipeline pulling 500 results runs $1.50/day ($45/month). Compare that to building and maintaining your own scraping infrastructure, which typically costs $500-2,000/month in proxy fees, compute, and engineering time alone.
