RugbyPass Fixtures Scraper

RugbyPass Fixtures Scraper

Scrape RugbyPass fixtures for any date range, competition, or team, up to a million per run. Every fixture comes with its teams, venue, kickoff time, and competition details. No login or API key. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.

RugbyPass publishes fixtures for leagues and cups worldwide, but there is no official API for bulk access. This Actor reads the public fixture pages directly, filtered by date range and competition, and returns each match in one fixed schema.

Troubleshooting

Why am I getting no results?

Check your date range. If dateFrom is after dateTo, or if there are no fixtures in that period, the Actor returns an empty dataset. Also verify your competition filter spelling.

Why is my competition filter not working?

The filter is case-insensitive and matches substrings. For example, 'six' will match 'Six Nations'. If you still get no results, try a shorter substring or leave it empty to see all competitions.

Why did the run stop before reaching maxItems?

The Actor stops when it has collected all fixtures in the specified date range and competition. If there are fewer fixtures than maxItems, it returns what it found.

Can I scrape past fixtures?

Yes, set dateFrom and dateTo to a past range. The Actor scrapes whatever fixtures RugbyPass displays for those dates.
