## What's an Apify Actor?
Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
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.
Actors are written with capital "A".
## 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.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.
In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):
```bash
npm install apify-client
```
In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):
```bash
pip install apify-client
```
In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):
````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash
In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).
If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).
For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.
For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).

- **country**: host country code
- **attendance**: reported crowd size
- **matchNumber**: official match number in the schedule
#### Group standings
Each record is one team's row in its group table.
- **group**: group name
- **position**: current rank in the group
- **team**: team name, with **teamCode** and **flag**
- **played**, **won**, **drawn**, **lost**: match record
- **goalsFor**, **goalsAgainst**, **goalDifference**: goal tally
- **points**: total points

### Frequently Asked Questions
**What does it cover by default?**
Leave every field at its default and you get the full FIFA World Cup 2026: all 104 matches with live scores, the group standings and the teams. No configuration needed.
**Can I get only one stage or group?**
Yes. Use the stage filter (for example Round of 16 or Final) and the group filter (for example Group A) to narrow matches or standings to exactly what you need.
**Are live scores included?**
Yes. Matches carry the current status and score, so in-progress and finished games show up-to-date results each time you run it.
**Why are some knockout standings empty?**
Standings tables exist for the group stage. Knockout rounds are decided by match results, so those rows appear as the bracket fills in.
**How often should I run it?**
Schedule it as often as you like. During match days a frequent schedule keeps scores and standings fresh; between rounds a daily run is plenty.
### Export, API and AI agents (x402 + MCP)
Export the scraped data to **JSON, CSV or Excel**, pull it as a **dataset** through the Apify **API**, or wire it into your app with **no code**. This web scraper and data extractor also works for bulk data extraction and scheduled runs.
For AI agents: this Actor is available on **x402**, Apify's agentic payment standard built with Coinbase. An AI agent can discover, pay for and run it on its own with a funded wallet and a single HTTP request: no account, no subscription, no API key and no human in the loop. It also runs as an **MCP** tool inside Claude, Cursor and other AI clients out of the box. Learn more about [x402 agentic payments on Apify](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/x402).
