ESPN Scraper

Get sports data from ESPN's public website: scores and schedules, box scores with player stats, play-by-play, standings, team rosters, news and injury reports. It covers the NFL, NBA, WNBA, MLB, NHL, college football and basketball, the Premier League and 18 other soccer competitions, plus ATP and WTA tennis, PGA and LPGA golf, Formula 1 and UFC. Sports analysts, fantasy and betting tool builders, journalists, app developers and researchers use it to fill spreadsheets, databases and dashboards without copying tables by hand.

• Eight kinds of data in one Actor. Games and scores, game details (box scores, team stats, player stats, play-by-play), team schedules, standings, teams, rosters, news and injury reports.
• Full seasons in one run. Pick "Whole season" and get every game of a league, for example all 1,401 NBA games of 2025-26 in under 10 seconds.
• Complete college slates. College football (FBS) and Division I basketball return every game of the day, not only the 25 featured games ESPN shows by default.
• Flat, clean output. One row per game, per player, per standings row or per article, with English field names, ISO dates in UTC and full links. Ready for Excel, Google Sheets or code.
• No login, no API key, no proxy. Press Start and get data.
• Low price. $1.00 per 1,000 results, no start fee.

How much does it cost?

You pay per saved result: $1.00 per 1,000 results. There is no start fee and no monthly rental. Every row counts as one result, whatever its type.

Run	Results	Cost
NBA and Premier League scores, last 7 days	64	$0.06
Box score of one NBA game with player stats	about 30	$0.03
Same game with play-by-play added	about 600	$0.60
Every NBA game of the 2025-26 season	1,401	$1.40
Every MLB game of 2026	2,953	$2.95
Current Premier League table	20	$0.02

Set Max results or a maximum charge per run in the run options, and the Actor stops when it is reached.

Limits you should know

• This is unofficial. The Actor reads the public JSON data that ESPN's own website and apps load. It is not made by, endorsed by or connected to ESPN. If ESPN changes these feeds, the Actor may need an update.
• Dates follow US Eastern time. ESPN puts a game on the US Eastern calendar day. A Premier League match at 11:30 UTC is on the same day, but a late NBA game at 02:00 UTC belongs to the previous day. startTime is always in UTC.
• Big seasons take a minute or two. MLB, college football and college basketball are loaded day by day because ESPN's monthly lists are too large or cut off for them. A full MLB season took 97 seconds and a full college football season 104 seconds in our tests. Other leagues load a season in under 10 seconds.
• Game details are for team sports. Tennis, golf, F1 and UFC are covered in Games, Standings (tennis rankings, F1 standings) and News, not in box scores. F1 rows give the finishing order of qualifying, sprint and race sessions (practice is skipped), without lap times. Golf rows give score to par and round scores, not hole by hole.
• Betting odds appear only when ESPN shows them. That is usually one sportsbook line (DraftKings) for US leagues, close to game time. Soccer games rarely have odds.
• Soccer player stats are basic. Goals, assists, shots, saves, fouls and cards per player. US sports have full box score lines.
• Rosters are current only. ESPN does not publish past rosters, so the Season field is ignored in Rosters mode.
• News is the latest 50 articles per league or per team. There is no archive search.
• Injury reports are the current list only. ESPN shows who is injured now, not past injuries, so schedule the Actor daily to build a history. The US leagues (NFL, NBA, WNBA, MLB, NHL, college football and basketball) have full reports; soccer leagues usually return none.
• Season numbers follow ESPN. NBA, NHL and college basketball use the year the season ends (2025-26 = 2026). Soccer uses the year it starts (2025-26 = 2025). NFL, MLB, WNBA and college football use the calendar year.
• Records in soccer are wins-draws-losses ("5-0-1" means 5 wins, 0 draws, 1 loss), as ESPN writes them.

Tips

• Any league ESPN has works. Type its ESPN path in Other leagues, for example soccer/jpn.1 (J1 League), soccer/arg.1 or basketball/nbl. You find the path in the address of the league's page on espn.com.
• Box scores for a whole day or week. In Game details, leave Game IDs or URLs empty and pick leagues and dates. The Actor loads every started or finished game.
• Join the data. gameId, teamId and playerId are ESPN's own IDs, so player rows, game rows and standings rows can be joined in a spreadsheet or database.
• Run it on a schedule. Run "Yesterday" every morning to keep a results table up to date.

FAQ

Is it legal? The Actor collects only public data that ESPN shows to every visitor without login. Scores and statistics are facts. Results contain names of public figures such as players, coaches and authors, so make sure you have a legitimate reason to process them, as required by the GDPR and similar laws. If you republish article text or images, respect ESPN's terms.

Do I need an ESPN account or API key? No.

Why did I get 0 results? The league had no games in the dates you chose (for example the off-season), or a team name did not match. The run log names every team or game it could not find.
