## Pricing

from $4.50 / 1,000 results

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## MLB Schedules, Rosters & Player Stats Extractor

One Actor, five ways to read Major League Baseball data. Pick a **mode**, add the date or ID it needs, and receive structured records.

### Modes

| Mode | What it returns | Needs |
|---|---|---|
| `schedule` | Games for a day with teams, scores and status | optional `date`, `season`, `gameType` |
| `teams` | All MLB teams | nothing |
| `roster` | Players on a team | `teamId` or `teamIds` |
| `playerStats` | Season statistics for players | `playerId` or `playerIds` |
| `gameDetail` | Full detail of one game | `gamePk` |

### Quick start

1. Select the mode.
2. Fill the matching field (for example `teamId: 147` for the Yankees, `playerId: 660271` for Shohei Ohtani).
3. Run and download the dataset.

#### Example: today's regular-season games

```json
{
  "mode": "schedule",
  "seasonType": "regular"
}
```

#### Example: several rosters at once

```json
{
  "mode": "roster",
  "teamIds": [147, 119, 111]
}
```

### Notes

- Game types: `R` regular, `F` wild card, `D` division series, `L` league championship, `W` world series, `A` all-star.
- Batch lists take precedence over the single ID field.
- `maxItems` caps the number of records per run.

# Actor input Schema

## `mode` (type: `string`):

What to fetch from the official MLB Stats data feed. Default is 'schedule' (today's games when no date is supplied).

## `date` (type: `string`):

Date for schedule mode. Defaults to today.

## `teamId` (type: `integer`):

MLB team ID for roster mode (e.g. 147=Yankees, 119=Dodgers).

## `teamIds` (type: `array`):

Array of MLB team IDs for batch roster lookup. Takes precedence over single teamId. Items can be integers or numeric strings. Max 100 per call.

## `playerId` (type: `string`):

MLB player ID for playerStats mode (e.g. 660271 = Shohei Ohtani). Numeric, accepted as string so copy-pasted IDs work.

## `playerIds` (type: `array`):

Array of MLB player IDs for batch season-stats lookup. Takes precedence over single playerId. Max 100 per call.

## `gameType` (type: `string`):

Filter schedule by game type. R=Regular, F=Wild Card, D=Division Series, L=League Championship, W=World Series, A=All-Star.

## `seasonType` (type: `string`):

Convenience filter that maps to gameType: 'regular' = R, 'post' = F,D,L,W. Ignored if gameType is set.

## `gamePk` (type: `integer`):

Game primary key for gameDetail mode.

## `season` (type: `integer`):

Season year (e.g. 2024). Defaults to current year.

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of MLB stat records to collect per run.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "mode": "schedule",
  "teamIds": [],
  "playerIds": [],
  "gameType": "",
  "seasonType": "",
  "maxItems": 10
}
```

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

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

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "mode": "schedule",
    "date": "",
    "playerId": "",
    "maxItems": 10
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("scrapermaster/mlb-schedules-rosters-stats").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

## Python example

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = {
    "mode": "schedule",
    "date": "",
    "playerId": "",
    "maxItems": 10,
}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("scrapermaster/mlb-schedules-rosters-stats").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(item)

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "mode": "schedule",
  "date": "",
  "playerId": "",
  "maxItems": 10
}' |
apify call scrapermaster/mlb-schedules-rosters-stats --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,scrapermaster/mlb-schedules-rosters-stats"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
