Across PGA, LPGA, Champions, Korn Ferry and the European (DP World) Tour. From ESPN's public keyless golf API. No API key, no login.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need an API key or login?
No. The Actor reads ESPN's public keyless golf API live on every run — no key, no login, no proxy to buy (Apify's free datacenter proxy is used by default).
Which tours are covered?
PGA, LPGA, Champions, Korn Ferry and the European (DP World) Tour. Pick one with the tour input and a dateFrom/dateTo range.
Can I get hole-by-hole scores?
Yes — turn on includeHoleScores to add the 18 hole scores (strokes and to-par) per round, nested inside each round. Leaderboard scrapers usually stop at the round total.
Does it include strokes-gained?
No — this covers scores (positions, round and hole scores), not proprietary shot-tracking metrics; strokes-gained is not published in the free source.
How is it billed?
Pay per delivered row (one row per player per tournament), never for errors or empty runs. Use maxResults: 0 for no cap.
