Technical notes

• Transport: the actor renders Sofascore's server-rendered fixtures page through a resilient managed-access browser and reads each match straight from the page — teams, score, status, minute, kick-off, tournament and country. No buyer API key, no buyer proxy account required.
• Access: a protected target — handled server-side by the managed-access layer, so runs stay reliable without any setup on your side.
• Reliability: popular matches are additionally enriched from the page's embedded data (team ids, exact kick-off timestamp, round) for a fuller record; live scores and status always reflect the real-time page.
• Live fallback: when live mode finds 0 in-play events (off-peak hours), the actor automatically returns today's full schedule.
• Pricing: pay per event item returned.

💰 Pricing & how we compare

Pay-per-result (PPE): $0.99 / 1K results. You are billed per event-item actually returned — plus the tiny apify-actor-start fee Apify waives for short runs. No subscription, no API key, no proxy fee on top.

Our edge: Cheapest credible PAID Sofascore source · live + scheduled by sport & date · 15+ sports · no API key.
