## 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.

# README

## Sports Betting Odds Scraper — NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, Soccer Lines

Scrape live betting lines — moneyline, spread, total over/under — for NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, NCAAF, NCAAB, EPL, MLS, UCL, UFC, PGA, and more. Plus scores, venue, status. No API key required.

### What you get

- One row per outcome quote — event × bookmaker × market × outcome — ready for spreadsheet workflows, Sheets formulas, and dashboards
- **Moneyline (h2h)** prices for home and away
- **Point spread** with the line and the standard -110 vig
- **Totals (over / under)** with the line and the actual juice
- Live **scores** and game **status** (Scheduled / In Progress / Final) included on every row
- **Venue**, team abbreviations, and ESPN event ID for joining to other datasets
- Both **American** and **Decimal** odds on every row regardless of the chosen display format
- Direct export to JSON, CSV, Excel, or Google Sheets — no transformation needed

### Supported leagues

| Key | League |
|-----|--------|
| `nfl` | NFL |
| `ncaaf` | NCAA Football (FBS + FCS) |
| `nba` | NBA |
| `wnba` | WNBA |
| `ncaam` / `ncaaw` | NCAA Men's / Women's Basketball |
| `mlb` | MLB |
| `nhl` | NHL |
| `mls` | MLS |
| `epl` | English Premier League |
| `laliga` | La Liga |
| `seriea` | Serie A |
| `bundesliga` | Bundesliga |
| `ligue1` | Ligue 1 |
| `ucl` | UEFA Champions League |
| `uel` | UEFA Europa League |
| `ufc` | UFC |
| `pga` | PGA Tour |

Pass multiple league keys at once to scrape every supported league in a single run.

### Use cases

- **Daily lines dashboard** — schedule a run each morning, paste the dataset into Sheets
- **Line shopping** — pull the same slate from this actor and a second sportsbook source, compare prices in a spreadsheet join
- **Bankroll analytics** — feed historical line snapshots into a model alongside scores from the same row
- **Content / media** — power "tonight's lines" widgets and game previews
- **Bet tracking** — match your tickets back to the closing line for CLV analysis

### How to use

1. Pick one or more **Leagues** (e.g. `nfl`, `nba`).
2. Optionally enter **Dates** — `YYYYMMDD` for one day or `YYYYMMDD-YYYYMMDD` for a range. Leave empty for today's slate.
3. Pick **Odds format** — American or Decimal. Both columns are always emitted regardless.
4. Set **Max items** (0 = no cap) and run.

### Output format

```json
{
  "league": "nfl",
  "leagueName": "NFL",
  "eventId": "401872656",
  "eventName": "New England Patriots at Seattle Seahawks",
  "commenceTime": "2026-09-10T00:20Z",
  "status": "STATUS_SCHEDULED",
  "completed": false,
  "venue": "Lumen Field",
  "homeTeam": "Seattle Seahawks",
  "homeTeamAbbr": "SEA",
  "homeScore": null,
  "awayTeam": "New England Patriots",
  "awayTeamAbbr": "NE",
  "awayScore": null,
  "bookmaker": "Draft Kings",
  "marketKey": "h2h",
  "outcomeName": "Seattle Seahawks",
  "price": -205,
  "priceAmerican": -205,
  "priceDecimal": 1.4878,
  "point": null,
  "oddsFormat": "american",
  "details": "SEA -3.5",
  "fetchedAt": "2026-05-18T12:00:01.234Z"
}
````

For each event you'll typically get 6 rows from the available bookmaker(s):

- 2 × `h2h` (home / away moneyline)
- 2 × `spreads` (home / away with the `point` field set)
- 2 × `totals` (over / under with the line in `point`)

### Bookmakers

This actor sources from ESPN, which surfaces lines from its current sportsbook partners (typically DraftKings, ESPN BET, or Caesars depending on the sport and event). The `bookmaker` column tells you exactly which book each row is from. Coverage varies by league and game — preseason and off-season events often have no lines.

### Input options

| Field | Type | Description |
|-------|------|-------------|
| Leagues | array | One or more league keys from the table above |
| Dates | string | `YYYYMMDD` or `YYYYMMDD-YYYYMMDD`, UTC. Empty = today |
| Odds format | enum | `american` or `decimal` |
| Max items | integer | Max rows per run. 0 = no cap |

### Notes

- Coverage depends on whether ESPN has odds for the event — preseason / off-season games often have none, and very obscure leagues (lower-division soccer, minor tournaments) are excluded
- Spreads use the standard −110 juice on both sides (ESPN exposes the line, not the price)
- Live scores are populated when the game is in progress or final
