Pricing

$0.003 per result scraped (pay per event). You are not charged for failed pages or duplicates.

Notes and limits

• A run starts from the search keyword. The first matching team is the one whose recent and upcoming matches are fetched, so a precise searchTerm gives the most relevant fixtures.
• Match items only appear when includeMatches is true and the top result is a team; player and tournament searches return entity items only.
• The score field is null for fixtures that have not been played yet, and for all search-entity items.
• Sofascore sits behind aggressive bot protection. If a run returns no results, the search was likely blocked; retry or try a slightly different keyword.
