❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How "Live" is the data?

A: The scraper hits the same high-speed endpoints as the Flashscore web app. You can expect data latency as low as 5-15 seconds, depending on your run frequency.

Q: Can I filter for specific leagues (e.g., only Premier League)?

A: Yes. The output includes tournament_id and tournament_name. You can filter these results using Apify's built-in filtering or via a simple post-processing script in your integration.

Q: Does this include player-level stats?

A: This version focuses on Match-Level data (scores, status, time, tournament info) for now. Other feature extractions like player level stats and others will be implemented. But please get in touch and let us know what other data you would like to see extracted, this way we can better prioritise it.

Q: What happens if a match is postponed?

A: The match_status field will update accordingly, and the stage_description will contain the specific status label (e.g., "Postponed", "Interrupted", or "Walkover") provided by the feed.
