What you get

Point the scraper at a competition and choose what you want: match scores and fixtures, the full league table, or the list of teams. It returns one clean record per match, per table row or per team, ready for a widget, an app or a spreadsheet.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which competitions are covered? The FIFA World Cup plus top leagues and cups including the Premier League, LaLiga, Serie A, Bundesliga, Ligue 1, MLS, Liga MX, the Champions League, the Europa League and more. Pick one from the Competition list.

Can I get results for a specific day? Yes. In scores and fixtures mode you can set a single date, or a date range with Date from and Date to. Leave them empty to get the current matchday and nearby fixtures.

Does it return live, in-progress matches? Yes. During a live match the state, status, clock, period and current score update, and match statistics like possession and shots are filled in as the game develops.

How do I get the league table? Set What to scrape to Standings and choose a competition. Each row is one team with its position, points, wins, draws, losses and goals. Group-stage competitions like the World Cup return every group.

How many records can I collect in one run? Use Max Items to cap the output. A scoreboard run returns every match on the requested date or range, a standings run returns the full table, and a teams run returns every team in the competition.

Why are some fields empty? Some fields only apply in certain contexts. Match statistics, attendance and broadcasts appear when the competition reports them, and the live clock only shows while a match is in progress.
