🥅 TheSportsDB Scraper
🚀 Export TheSportsDB's open sports catalogue in seconds. Pull leagues, teams, players, upcoming and past events, league standings, and live scores across soccer, basketball, ice hockey, baseball, American football, and many more sports. No sign-up, no manual scraping, no setup.
The TheSportsDB Scraper exports the crowd-sourced TheSportsDB catalogue and returns up to 30+ structured fields per record. Whether you're pulling all leagues, searching for a team or player by name, fetching upcoming and past events for a league, looking up league standings, or grabbing live scores for a sport, the Actor returns a clean structured row per entity ready for your dataset.
The catalogue covers soccer, basketball, American football, baseball, ice hockey, and many more sports, with team metadata, player bios, league structure, fixture lists, standings tables, and a continuously updated live-scores feed. This is the friendliest open sports database on the web, packaged for one-click export.
| 🎯 Target Audience | 💡 Primary Use Cases |
|---|---|
| Sports media, fantasy app developers, hobbyist sports devs, journalists, fan communities, indie analytics teams | Multi-sport league directories, team + player lookups, fixture feeds, standings widgets, live-score tickers, content automation |
📋 What the TheSportsDB Scraper does
Ten lookup modes in a single run:
- 🌍 All Leagues. Every league across every sport.
- 🏟️ Team Search. Resolve teams by name (e.g. "Arsenal").
- 🆔 Team Lookup. Resolve a team by canonical ID with full metadata.
- 👤 Player Search. Resolve players by name (e.g. "Messi").
- 📋 Team Roster. All players on a team by team ID.
- 📅 Upcoming Events. Next 15 events for a league by league ID.
- 🕓 Past Events. Last 15 events for a league by league ID.
- 📊 Lookup Table. League standings table for a season (e.g.
2024-2025). - 🔴 Live Scores. Live in-progress events by sport (e.g. Soccer, Basketball, Ice Hockey).
- 🗓️ Events on a Day. All matches on a specific date, optionally filtered by sport or league.
Each record is normalised: empty fields are stripped, every row carries a scrapedAt ISO 8601 timestamp, and the original TheSportsDB field names are preserved for direct join compatibility with the catalogue.
💡 Why it matters: TheSportsDB is one of the few free, multi-sport, multi-league databases on the web. Building your own pipeline against it means handling 10 different lookup endpoints, normalising responses, and refreshing data manually. This Actor packages all of that into one click.
📊 Data fields
Each record includes: idLeague, scrapedAt, slug, strLeague, strSport. All 5 field names come from a real production run, so what you see here is what lands in your dataset.
