Yahoo Sports API Scraper

Scrape public Yahoo Sports data — scores & schedules, standings, teams, players and game box scores — by league. No account or API key is required: the actor talks directly to the public mrest.sports.yahoo.com API used by the Yahoo Sports Android app.

What it extracts

Mode	Endpoint (all GET, no auth)	Record
scores	/sport/{league}/gamesWrapped?date=&tz= (or ?week=)	Games: home/away teams, scores, status, start time, odds, venue
standings	/sport/{league}/standingsTable	Standings rows: team, W/L/T, Pct, GB, PF/PA, division/conference, streak
teams	/sport/{league}/teams	Team list: id, name, abbreviation, colors, conference/division
team	/team/{id} + /team/{id}/seasonStatRanks	Team detail + current record/rank + stat rankings
player	/athlete/{id}	Player bio: height/weight, DOB, college, draft info
game	/game/{id}/details	Box score: per-period scores, stat leaders, team stat comparisons

Input

• league (required) — a Yahoo sport symbol (NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, Premier League, etc.).
• mode (required) — scores, standings, teams, team, player, or game.
• date — for scores (YYYY-MM-DD or relative like 2 days); defaults to today.
• week — week number for week-based leagues (NFL/NCAAF/CFL).
• season — optional season year for standings/team (best-effort passthrough).
• team — team id or name for team mode (e.g. nfl.t.2, Buffalo Bills, BUF).
• player / game — ids for the corresponding modes.
• maxItems — max records (0 = unlimited).

Example inputs:

{ "league": "nfl", "mode": "scores", "date": "2026-09-13" }
{ "league": "nfl", "mode": "standings" }
{ "league": "soccer.l.fbgb", "mode": "teams" }
{ "league": "nfl", "mode": "team", "team": "Buffalo Bills" }
{ "league": "nfl", "mode": "game", "game": "nfl.g.20260913019" }
{ "league": "nfl", "mode": "player", "player": "nfl.p.29369" }

Output

Flat records with a type field (score, standings, team, player, game) in a single dataset. Pay-per-result pricing: each pushed record is charged per its type.

Notes

• The underlying API is the app's own public endpoint, so no authentication or TLS bypass is needed. Residential proxy is the default (Apify Proxy) for reliability/scale.
• Data is served from Yahoo's CDN with cache-control of 5–15 minutes; a re-run within that window returns the same cached result.
• Leagues that are out of season (e.g. NBA in September) legitimately return empty Games[].
