What is Action Network Scraper & API?

Action Network Scraper & API turns Action Network game pages and odds screens into clean JSON. Pick the leagues and a date or NFL week, and the Actor returns every sportsbook's odds, the public betting percentages (share of tickets and share of money on each side), expert picks with their records, and the game's score, box score and play-by-play in one row per game.

It works as an Action Network API alternative. Action Network has no public data API, and this Actor gives you its odds and betting data on a schedule, over the Apify API, or as a CSV or Excel download. To try it, open the Input tab and click Start: the default settings pull a few games from today's slate.

What can Action Network Scraper & API do?

• 🏈 21 leagues in one run: NFL, NCAA Football, NBA, NCAA Basketball (men and women), WNBA, MLB, NHL, the Premier League, La Liga, Bundesliga, Serie A, Ligue 1, MLS, Champions League, Europa League, ATP, WTA, UFC and boxing. The "Soccer (all leagues)" option takes Action Network's combined soccer slate.
• 📊 Odds from every selected sportsbook: moneyline, spread, total and team totals per book, for the full game and, if you choose, halves, quarters, hockey periods, the first inning or the first five innings. DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM, bet365, BetRivers and Caesars are priced by default, and you can add up to 38 books.
• 👥 Public betting splits: ticket % and money % on each side, plus sharpGap (money % minus ticket %), which shows where the bigger bets are going.
• 🧮 Computed fields: no-vig probabilities, hold and overround for each consensus market, the best available price per side and line, and the move from the opening line to the current line.
• ✅ Graded results: the final score by period, with the winner, against-the-spread result and over/under result graded against the consensus closing line.
• 🎯 Expert picks: each Action Network expert's pick on the game, with their win/loss record, units won, ROI, current streak and follower count.
• 📈 Full line history (optional): every timestamped price change per sportsbook, back to the opening line.
• 🎲 Prop boards (optional): every player and game prop Action Network lists for the game (for an NFL game, 100+ prop markets such as anytime TD scorer, receiving yards and passing yards), priced across your sportsbooks.
• 🏟️ Game detail: rosters, player box score stats, play-by-play with live win probability, lineups, MLB pitching matchups and umpires, venue, game-time weather, injuries, depth charts and team stat sheets, wherever Action Network publishes them.
• 📋 League reports (optional): one standings row and one injury-report row per league.
• ⚙️ Built for automation: schedule runs before kickoff, call the Actor from the API, connect it to Make, Zapier, n8n or Google Sheets, and export as JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML.

3. Choose the games: leave the date empty for today, set a date (YYYY-MM-DD) for other leagues, or set Week and Season for NFL and NCAA Football. To cover specific games, paste their IDs or URLs instead.
4. If you want to narrow the slate, set Game status, Teams, Minimum bet count or Maximum games.
5. Turn on any extras you need: Full line movement history, Player and game props, Standings or Injury report.
6. Click Start. When the run finishes, download the dataset as JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML, or read it from the dataset API.

Use Action Network Scraper & API from Python or JavaScript

Install the Apify API client (Python or JavaScript) and use your API token.

Python

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("<APIFY_TOKEN>")

run = client.actor("parsebird/action-network-scraper").call(run_input={
    "leagues": ["nba", "nhl"],
    "gameStatus": ["upcoming"],
    "books": [68, 69, 75],
})

for game in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    ml = (game.get("consensus") or {}).get("moneyline") or {}
    for side in ml.get("sides", []):
        print(game["league"], game["gameId"], side["side"], side["odds"],
              side["ticketPercent"], side["moneyPercent"], side["sharpGap"])

JavaScript

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '<APIFY_TOKEN>' });

const run = await client.actor('parsebird/action-network-scraper').call({
    leagues: ['nfl'],
    includeProps: true,
    maxGames: 3,
});

const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
for (const game of items) {
    console.log(game.awayTeam?.abbreviation, '@', game.homeTeam?.abbreviation,
        game.props?.playerProps.length ?? 0, 'player props');
}

Use cases

• Sharp money tracking: flag games where money % and ticket % split widely (sharpGap), and watch for reverse line movement against lineMovement.
• Line shopping: compare bestPrices and booksPricing across DraftKings, FanDuel, BetMGM, Caesars and the rest before you place a bet.
• Betting models and backtests: pull past weeks back to 2015 with graded result fields. Full prices and splits start with the 2024 season.
• Prop research: download whole prop boards with each book's price and line in one run.
• Handicapper tracking: collect expert picks with records, units and ROI to see who is winning.
• Dashboards and alerts: schedule runs every few minutes before kickoff and send changes to Google Sheets, Slack or a database through integrations.

How it works

1. The Actor reads the slate for each selected league and date or week from Action Network, including prices for the sportsbooks and segments you selected.
2. It applies your filters (status, teams, trending, minimum bets, maximum games) before collecting game details, so filtered-out games are never fetched or charged.
3. For each remaining game it collects the box score, play-by-play, rosters and stats. It then attaches expert picks, plus line history and props if you turned them on.
4. It computes consensus summaries, no-vig probabilities, hold, best prices, opening-to-current movement and graded results, and saves one row per game.
5. If you turned them on, it adds one standings row and one injury-report row per league at the end.

How much does it cost to scrape Action Network?

Action Network Scraper & API uses pay-per-event pricing. Platform usage (compute and data transfer) is included in the event prices, so you are not billed separately for it.

Event	When it is charged	Free	Bronze	Silver	Gold
Game	Each game, match or fight saved. Includes every sportsbook's moneyline, spread and total, betting splits, best prices, opening-to-current movement, no-vig probabilities, score, graded result and expert picks	$3.49 / 1,000	$3.29 / 1,000	$3.09 / 1,000	$2.89 / 1,000
History	Each game whose full line movement history is attached	$3.49 / 1,000	$3.29 / 1,000	$3.09 / 1,000	$2.89 / 1,000
Prop board	Each game whose prop board is attached	$4.49 / 1,000	$3.99 / 1,000	$3.69 / 1,000	$3.29 / 1,000
Injury report	Each league injury report saved	$6.99 / 1,000	$5.99 / 1,000	$5.49 / 1,000	$4.99 / 1,000

History and Prop board are only charged when you turn them on and the game actually has that data. Expert picks and standings rows are included at no extra charge.

Examples (Free plan prices): a full NFL week of 16 games costs about $0.06. The same week with line history and props for every game costs about $0.18 (16 × ($0.00349 + $0.00349 + $0.00449)). A daily run across the NBA, NHL and MLB with 30 games costs about $0.10. To control spend, use maxGames and the filters. The run also stops when it reaches the maximum cost per run you set in Apify Console.

Is it legal to scrape Action Network?

Action Network Scraper & API only collects data that Action Network shows publicly on its website, without logging in. It doesn't access subscriber-only (PRO) content or personal data beyond the public expert profiles that Action Network displays. You should still check that your use of the data complies with Action Network's terms of service and the laws that apply to you, and consult a lawyer if you're unsure. For more background, read Apify's article Is web scraping legal?

FAQ

Do I need an Action Network account or API key? No. The Actor reads the same public data that the Action Network website shows to logged-out visitors.

How do I get odds for a past NFL week? Set week, season and seasonType (for example week 1, season 2025, reg) and leave date empty. For other leagues, set date. Results, box scores and play-by-play go back to 2015. Full sportsbook prices and betting splits are available from the 2024 season. 2023 games carry only the consensus and opening lines, and older games carry results without prices.

Why is lineMovementHistory or props empty for some games? Action Network removes prop boards once a game is finished, and in our tests line history was dropped about a week after a game ended. Turn these options on for upcoming, live and recently finished games. You are only charged for history or props when the game actually has them. Both options cover team sports. Tennis, UFC and boxing rows still include consensus, best prices and opening-to-current movement.

Why did my run return no games? The league may be out of season, or there may be no games on that date. Check the date (US Eastern) or week, or loosen gameStatus, teams, onlyTrending and minBets.

Why does the run stop when I set a date with the NFL? NFL and NCAA Football are scheduled by week. To avoid returning the wrong week, the Actor stops and asks you to use week and season instead. Run date-based leagues in a separate run.

What does sharpGap mean? It is money % minus ticket %. A positive value means a side is drawing a bigger share of the money than of the bets, which usually means larger bets are on that side.

How is the best price chosen? For each side, the Actor compares the selected sportsbooks' prices at each line and keeps the one with the lowest implied probability, which is the best payout. Pre-game and in-play prices are kept apart (isLive).

Is the team record the record at game time? No. awayTeam.record and homeTeam.record are the teams' current records as Action Network shows them now.

Can I run it on a schedule or connect it to other tools? Yes. Use Apify schedules, call it from the API, or connect it to Make, Zapier, n8n, Google Sheets, Slack or a webhook through integrations.

Something is missing or wrong. What should I do? Open an issue in the Issues tab. We read every report.
