✨ Features

• No key, no auth — runs on the free public OpenLigaDB API.
• Datacenter proxy friendly — clean JSON, no browser needed, cheap to run.
• Full match records — fixtures + final results + goal scorers in one row.
• Many leagues & seasons — just pass shortcut/season (e.g. bl1/2024).
• Every field nullable — never crashes on partial upstream data.
• Structured, flat output ready for Google Sheets, Excel, JSON, or CSV export.

💶 Pricing

Roughly $0.5 per 1,000 matches — one of the cheapest sports feeds on Apify. A full Bundesliga season (~306 matches) costs pennies.

leagues	array	List of shortcut/season strings, e.g. ["bl1/2024", "bl2/2024"].
