Frequently asked questions
Do I need an API key or login?
No. Fixtures, results and innings scores come from ESPN's public keyless cricket API; full scorecards come from ESPNcricinfo through Apify's Unblocker, so no key or login is ever needed from you.
What is in a full scorecard?
Per batter: runs, balls, minutes, 4s, 6s, strike rate and dismissal. Per bowler: overs, maidens, runs, wickets, economy and dot balls. Turn on includeScorecards for completed matches, or pass matchIds for historical ones.
Can I get historical matches?
Yes — pass ESPNcricinfo match IDs in matchIds for the full scorecard of any past match, not only the current season. ESPN's cricket event id is the ESPNcricinfo match id, so a match's summary and scorecard line up.
Which competitions are covered?
Major competitions including the ICC World Cup, World Test Championship, IPL and Big Bash; leave leagueIds empty for the default major set, or pass ESPN cricket league IDs to scope it.
How is it billed?
Pay per delivered match, never for errors or empty results. maxScorecardMatches caps how many matches get the scorecard lookup in one run (default 20).
