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). # README ## FIFA World Cup 2026 Stats & Live Scores Get FIFA World Cup 2026 match data, live scores, and standings as clean, flat JSON. Built for dashboards, fantasy football apps, and automated trading/betting tools that need structured tournament data without scraping. ### What data you get - Match info: id, match number, datetime, status, stage, group, stadium - Teams: home/away team id, name, code - Score: home/away score - Standings: group, position, team, played, won, drawn, lost, goals for/against, goal difference, points ### Modes | Mode | Description | Free / Paid | |------|-------------|-------------| | `live` | All in-progress matches with live stats and events | Free | | `standings` | Group stage table | Free | | `match` | Full detail (stats, events, lineups) for a single match | Paid | | `full` | All completed matches with stats and events (heavy) | Paid | Note: This actor uses a free community-maintained data source. Uptime is not guaranteed. If the source goes down during the tournament, check github.com/rezarahiminia/worldcup2026 for status. ### Example output ```json { "fetchedAt": "2026-06-11T22:05:00Z", "mode": "match", "matches": [ { "id": 14, "matchNumber": 14, "datetime": "2026-06-11T20:00:00Z", "status": "completed", "stage": "Group Stage", "group": "A", "stadium": "Estadio Azteca", "homeTeam": { "id": 1, "name": "Mexico", "code": "MEX" }, "awayTeam": { "id": 2, "name": "USA", "code": "USA" }, "homeScore": 2, "awayScore": 1 } ] } ```` ### How to use #### 1. Configure input In the Apify Console, open the actor and fill in the input form (or pass JSON via API): ```json { "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 β€” one match/standings record per item. #### 3. Filter by team (optional) Add `teamId` to fetch only matches for a specific team: ```json { "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](https://docs.apify.com/platform/schedules) 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. ### Tech stack Node.js 20, TypeScript, Apify SDK v3, axios. Data sourced from worldcup26.ir (free, open-source, no API key required). # Actor input Schema ## `mode` (type: `string`): Which data to fetch. ## `matchId` (type: `integer`): Match ID to fetch. Required when mode is 'match'. ## `teamId` (type: `integer`): Optional team ID filter for matches/standings. ## `includeOdds` (type: `boolean`): Include betting odds data (paid tier). ## `includeLineups` (type: `boolean`): Include starting XI and bench lineups for matches. ## Actor input object example ```json { "mode": "live", "includeOdds": false, "includeLineups": true } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (type: `string`): No description # 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 '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = {}; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("seralifatih/wc2026-stats").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`πŸ’Ύ 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); }); // πŸ“š Want to learn more πŸ“–?
