BetExplorer Scraper

🚀 BetExplorer Scraper

Extract fixtures, results and betting odds from BetExplorer.com in structured JSON. The BetExplorer Scraper returns a whole season in a single request — every match with its final score and average odds — and, when you ask for it, every bookmaker's individual price with its own timestamp across every market the sport offers.

Paste a league URL, hit run, and get a clean dataset. Running it on Apify also gives you scheduled runs, an API, webhooks, integrations with Google Sheets, Zapier and Make, automatic proxy rotation, and run monitoring — no infrastructure to maintain.

✨ Features

• 📅 Fixtures and results in one place — kick-off times, teams, rounds, final scores, winners and average 1X2 odds.
• 🏦 Every bookmaker, not just the average — up to 20 bookmakers per match, each with its own price and the exact minute that price was last moved.
• 🎯 Every market the sport offers — 1X2, Over/Under, Asian Handicap, Draw No Bet, Double Chance and Both Teams To Score, with all handicap and total lines. Over 500 individual prices for a single football match.
• 📚 Deep historical archive — one season per URL, going back to the earliest season BetExplorer keeps for the competition (over a century for some leagues).
• 🏅 Seven sports — football, tennis, basketball, hockey, baseball, handball and volleyball. Any league page works.
• 🌍 Choose your bookmaker region — the proxy country decides which bookmakers you see; the default returns the widest international selection.
• ⚡ Fast and lightweight — a full 380-match season arrives in one request, no browser required.

💡 Why use the BetExplorer Scraper?

• Build and backtest betting models on decades of results paired with the odds that were actually on offer.
• Find value and arbitrage by comparing every bookmaker's price on the same market side by side.
• Measure closing line value (CLV) using the per-price timestamps returned with every bookmaker quote.
• Power odds-comparison sites and dashboards with a scheduled feed of upcoming fixtures.
• Feed sports analytics and prediction tools with a consistent, structured match history across seven sports.

🛠️ How to use the BetExplorer Scraper

1. Pick your league URLs. Copy a league page from BetExplorer, e.g. https://www.betexplorer.com/football/england/premier-league/. A plain league URL returns both finished results and upcoming fixtures; add /results/ or /fixtures/ to pick one. Use a season URL such as https://www.betexplorer.com/football/england/premier-league-2025-2026/results/ for history.
2. Set the match limit. maxItems caps how many matches you get across all URLs.
3. Optionally enable the full odds book. Turn on scrapeOdds if you need every bookmaker's price rather than the average.
4. Run it. Results appear in the dataset and can be downloaded as JSON, CSV, Excel, HTML or XML, or pulled from the API.

📥 Input

Field	Type	Description
startUrls	array	BetExplorer league URLs. Plain league URL → results and fixtures. /results/ or /fixtures/ → just that list. Season URLs return the whole season.
maxItems	integer	Maximum number of matches to return across all start URLs. Default 50.
scrapeOdds	boolean	Also collect every bookmaker's odds across every market for each match. Slower and billed separately. Default false.
proxyConfiguration	object	Proxy for the run. The proxy country decides which bookmakers appear — Malta (default) gives the widest international list; UK, Germany, Brazil or US return that country's licensed bookmakers.

With scrapeOdds enabled, each match additionally carries an odds array — one entry per market, each holding every bookmaker's price:

            "prices": [

📋 Data fields

Field	Description
matchId	BetExplorer's identifier for the match
url	Link to the match page
sport, country, league, season	Competition the match belongs to
round	Round or matchday, when the competition has one
startTime	Kick-off in ISO 8601 (UTC)
homeTeam, awayTeam	The two teams or players
status	FINISHED or SCHEDULED
score, homeScore, awayScore, winner	Final score and HOME / DRAW / AWAY

💰 How much does it cost to scrape BetExplorer?

The scraper uses pay per event pricing, so you only pay for the data you actually get:

Event	Price	What it covers
Actor start	$0.005	Charged once per run
Match	$0.003	One fixture or result with score and average odds
Match with full odds book	$0.008	The same match plus every bookmaker's price across every market (only when scrapeOdds is on)

A full league sweep of 380 finished matches costs about $1.15. The same 380 matches with every bookmaker's odds included costs around $3.05. Apify's free tier includes $5 of monthly usage, enough to try the scraper on several full seasons.

⚙️ Tips and advanced options

• Leave scrapeOdds off unless you need individual bookmaker prices — the average odds already come free with every match, and the full book is several requests per match.
• Season URLs are the cheapest way to build history. Open any league's results page, use the season dropdown to copy a season's URL, and add those URLs to startUrls.
• Bookmaker coverage depends on the proxy country. Malta, Australia and India return the widest international list; a UK proxy returns UK-licensed books, a Brazilian proxy Brazilian ones. Datacenter proxies return only a small US selection, so residential is recommended.
• Older seasons have fewer bookmakers. Results reach back a very long way, but multi-bookmaker odds realistically start in the late 2000s.
• Schedule it. Run it daily against fixture URLs to build your own odds-movement history over time.

❓ FAQ

Which sports are supported? Football, tennis, basketball, hockey, baseball, handball and volleyball. Any league page on BetExplorer works, and the scraper reads the available markets from the page, so sport-specific markets (like Home/Away instead of 1X2 in tennis) come through automatically.

How far back does the historical data go? As far as BetExplorer's own archive — over a century of seasons for some leagues. Add one season URL per season you want.

Why do I see different bookmakers than on the website? BetExplorer shows different bookmakers depending on where you connect from. Change apifyProxyCountry in the proxy settings to target a specific market.

Do I get the time each price was set? Yes. With scrapeOdds enabled, every bookmaker price carries the timestamp of its last movement, which is what closing-line-value analysis needs.

Is scraping BetExplorer legal? The scraper only collects publicly available data and stores no personal information, and it stays within the paths BetExplorer's robots.txt allows. Their Terms of Service still apply to you as the operator of the run, so you are responsible for making sure your use complies with applicable law and terms — consult a lawyer if you are unsure.
