Troubleshooting

Why am I getting no results for a specific date?

Check that matches took place on that date for the selected sport. Flashscore may not have listings for days with no fixtures, such as off-season periods.

The scraper is returning fewer matches than my max items setting.

The scraper collects all available matches for the given sport and date. If fewer matches occurred that day, the dataset will be smaller than the maximum you set.

I'm getting an error when I run the Actor.

Verify your date is in the correct YYYY-MM-DD format. Also, check that the sport selection is valid and that the Flashscore website is reachable from your network.

Can I get data for a date range instead of a single day?

This Actor is designed for one date per run. To cover a range, schedule multiple runs with different date inputs or use the Apify API to trigger runs in a loop.
