⚽ Use this free tool as an API for the Transfermarkt website. Scrape and extract data from competition, club or player pages, or almost any Transfermarkt page. Download your data as HTML table, JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, and RSS feed.

To run the code examples, you need to have an Apify account. Replace <YOUR_API_TOKEN> in the code with your API token. For a more detailed explanation, please read about running Actors via the API in Apify Docs.

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with API token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "startUrls": [
        {
            "url": "https://www.transfermarkt.com/lionel-messi/profil/spieler/28003"
        }
    ],
    "proxyConfig": {
        "useApifyProxy": true
    },
    "crawlDepth": 1,
    "pageDepth": 1
};

(async () => {
    // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
    const run = await client.actor("petr_cermak/transfermarkt").call(input);

    // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
    console.log('Results from dataset');
    const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
    items.forEach((item) => {
        console.dir(item);
    });
})();
