How to use

1. Configure input

In the Apify Console, open the actor and fill in the input form (or pass JSON via API):

{
  "mode": "live"
}

For other modes, set mode accordingly and add matchId (for match).

2. Run

Click Start in the Console, or call the Run API endpoint:

POST https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/seralifatih~wc2026-stats/runs?token=YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN

Results land in the run's default dataset — one match/standings record per item.

3. Filter by team (optional)

Add teamId to fetch only matches for a specific team:

{ "mode": "full", "teamId": 5 }

Useful for building single-team dashboards or tracking a specific country through the tournament.

Scheduling live scores

For live match days, set up an Apify Scheduler to run this actor in live mode every 2 minutes. Each run pushes only currently in-progress matches with up-to-date scores, so your dataset stays fresh without manual triggers.

Example schedule cron: */2 * * * *

Only activate the scheduler on match days. The World Cup runs June 11 – July 19, 2026. On non-match days, skip scheduling to avoid unnecessary runs.
