Pricing

This Actor uses pay-per-event pricing. You are charged for each stat record successfully extracted and saved to the dataset.

You are not charged for records filtered out by your input criteria or for pages that return no results.

Tips or advanced options

• Set Max Records to 0 for complete datasets: StatsGuru holds over 100,000 innings records for Test batting alone. Leave Max Records at 0 to fetch everything in one run.
• Use Innings view for the most granular data: Innings by Innings gives one row per individual performance, ideal for match prediction or form analysis.
• Filter by date range for recent form: Set Date From to a rolling 12-month window to build a current-season performance dataset.
• Set Min Qualification for meaningful averages: When using Overall or Career views, set this to 20 or more to exclude players with too few innings.
• Combine format and team filters: Set format to t20i and team to India to build a complete India T20I batting history in one run.
