• Teams: home/away team id, name, code (TLA), crest URL
• Score: full-time and half-time home/away scores
• Goals: minute, type, player, assist, home/away team
• Bookings: minute, card type, player, home/away team
• Standings: group, position, team, played, won, drawn, lost, goals for/against, goal difference, points
• Stats: not available on the free tier — set to null

Modes

How to use

1. Get your API key

Get a free API key at football-data.org — takes 30 seconds, no credit card.

2. Configure input

In the Apify Console, open the actor and fill in the input form (or pass JSON via API):

{
"footballDataApiKey":"your_key_here",
"mode":"live"
}

For other modes, set mode accordingly and add matchId (for match) or teamId (for full).

3. Run

Click Start in the Console, or call the Run API endpoint:

POSThttps://api.apify.com/v2/acts/seralifatih~wc2026-stats/runs?token=YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN

Results land in the run's default dataset — one match/standings record per item.

4. Filter by team (optional)

Add teamId to fetch only completed matches for a specific team:

{"footballDataApiKey":"your_key_here","mode":"full","teamId":773}

Useful for building single-team dashboards or tracking a specific country through the tournament.

Rate limits

football-data.org free tier allows 10 requests per minute. This actor enforces a 6-second delay between API calls to stay within limits.

Scheduling live scores

For live match days, set up an Apify Scheduler to run this actor in live mode every 2 minutes. Each run pushes only currently in-progress matches with up-to-date scores, so your dataset stays fresh without manual triggers.

Example schedule cron: */2 * * * *

Only activate the scheduler on match days. The World Cup runs June 11 – July 19, 2026.
