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 ## Bet365 Live Scores API | Real-Time Sports Scores, 13 Sports **Real-time sports scores as a REST API.

No subscriptions. | Event | Endpoints | Per request | Per 1,000 | |-------|-----------|------------|-----------| | `live-request` | `/live` | $0.002 | $1.99 | | `scores-request` | `/scores` | $0.002 | $1.99 | | `game-detail-request` | `/game/{id}` | $0.003 | $2.99 | `/competitions` and `/health` are free. #### Example Track Premier League every minute for 3 hours on match day: 180 requests x $0.002 = **$0.36** ***   ### FAQ **What is Standby mode?** The actor runs as an always-on HTTP server. No queue, no cold start. Apify keeps it warm and routes requests directly. See the Standby tab for the hostname. **Can I use this in batch mode?** Yes. Pick a competition preset and click Start to get scores pushed to the dataset. For production use, Standby mode gives you real-time access via REST endpoints. For historical data, player profiles, or transfers, use the companion **Bet365 Sports Data Scraper** actor. **Why no odds on `/live`?** The live games data source doesn't include betting data. Odds are available on `/scores`, which uses a different data source that supports them. **What countries block odds?** Bet365 odds are included automatically on `/scores` when `includeOdds=true` (the default). **How often can I poll?** No rate limits from the API. Poll as frequently as you need. Every 30-60 seconds is typical for live tracking. **How much does Standby mode cost to keep running?** You don't pay anything while it's idle. The actor sleeps automatically after a period of no requests and wakes up on the next call (cold start takes 2-3 seconds). You only pay compute for hours it's actually running. **What's the difference between this and the Bet365 Odds actor?** This actor provides live scores, lineups, statistics, and match events. The Odds actor provides betting odds and markets. Different data, different use cases. Use both together for a complete picture. **Can I get historical scores?** `/scores` returns recent and upcoming games for a competition (typically the current round plus a few past rounds). For deep historical data, use the **Bet365 Sports Data Scraper** actor.   ### Support Bug reports, feature requests, or questions?
