Frequently asked questions
Do I need an API key or login?
No. The Actor reads ESPN's public keyless rugby API live on every run — no key, no login, no proxy to buy (Apify's free datacenter proxy is used by default).
Which competitions are covered?
World Cup, United Rugby Championship, Super Rugby, Six Nations, Premiership, Top 14 and more. Pass leagueIds to scope it, or leave empty to sweep the major competitions automatically.
What are player box scores?
With includePlayerStats on, each completed match gains a players array: the starting XV, replacements, captain and who was subbed in/out, plus per-player points, tries, conversions, kicks, clean breaks, defenders beaten, tackles and more.
How do I get a date range?
Set dateFrom and dateTo (defaults: last 14 / next 21 days). maxPlayerStatMatches caps how many matches get the box-score lookup in one run (default 50).
How is it billed?
Pay per delivered match, never for errors or empty results. Box scores are added only for completed matches when includePlayerStats is on.
