ESPN Sports Scores Scraper: games, odds, box scores, standings

Get ESPN data as clean, flat rows: live and final scores, schedules, betting odds, box scores with one row per player, standings, rosters and news. It covers the NFL, NBA, WNBA, MLB, NHL, NCAA football and basketball, MLS and the big European soccer leagues, UFC, Formula 1, tennis and golf. No API key, no login.

Every row has a type field (game, gameDetail, playerStat, standing, team, player, news) so one dataset can feed a spreadsheet, a database or a betting model without reshaping.

What you can do with it

• Scores and schedule: pick leagues and a day (or a range of days) and get one row per game with status (scheduled, live, final), score, quarter or period scores, venue, TV channels, records and the betting lines.
• Odds for bettors: spread, over/under and moneyline with the provider, plus the opening line next to the closing line, so you can see line movement. Soccer rows include the draw price.
• Game details: paste ESPN game links and get the full box score. One gameDetail row (team stats, odds from every provider, injuries, win probability, scoring plays or goals and cards) and one flat playerStat row per player.
• Standings: full tables by conference and division, for the current or a past season.
• Teams, rosters, team schedules: every team of a league, players with age, height, college and position, and a team's whole season of games.
• News: the latest ESPN headlines for a league.

Output

Every row has type, league and capturedAt. A game row looks like this (shortened):

{
  "type": "game",
  "league": "nba",
  "gameId": "401898406",
  "name": "Miami Heat at Orlando Magic",
  "date": "2026-10-16T23:00:00.000Z",
  "status": "scheduled",
  "homeTeam": "Orlando Magic", "homeScore": null, "homeRecord": "2-1",
  "awayTeam": "Miami Heat", "awayScore": null, "awayRecord": "3-1",
  "venue": "Kia Center", "broadcasts": [],
  "oddsProvider": "DraftKings", "favorite": "home",
  "homeSpread": -2.5, "awaySpread": 2.5, "overUnder": 234.5, "overUnderOpen": 233.5,
  "homeMoneyline": -142, "awayMoneyline": 120
}

• Dates are ISO 8601 in UTC. status is scheduled, live, final, postponed, canceled, delayed or suspended.
• Scores are null until a game has started. Odds fields are null when ESPN lists no line for that game. ESPN drops the line from a scoreboard once a game is over, so for the closing line of finished games use Game details, which keeps it.
• season is the number ESPN uses (the NBA 2026-27 season is 2027).
• UFC rows are one per bout, Formula 1 rows are one per session of a race weekend (no home or away), tennis rows are one per match with sets won and games per set. For fights and tennis, "home" is the competitor ESPN lists first.
• Tennis scoreboards list the whole tournament, so a tennis run returns the tournament's matches rather than only the day you typed.

Prices

You pay per row delivered, plus a small start fee per run. Volume discounts apply on higher Apify plans.

Row	Price per 1,000
Game (scores, schedule, odds)	$1.50
Game detail (box score, team stats, odds by provider)	$4.00
Player box score line	$0.30
Standing	$1.50
Team, player or news item	$1.00

A run start costs $0.001. A date with no games costs only the start fee, and the status message says why nothing came back.

Good to know

• A day with no games returns zero rows and the run succeeds. The status message says "ESPN lists no games on ..." together with the season dates ESPN gives for that league, so you can tell an off-season date from a quiet day.
• If ESPN refuses a day or a game, the status message names it instead of reporting zero results.
• Schedule it daily to keep a table of fresh scores, or run it once for a backfill.
