Soccer Fixtures Scraper

A lightweight TypeScript project that uses Puppeteer to scrape upcoming soccer fixture dates from any soccer scores/fixtures website. Ideal for sports enthusiasts, smaller projects, or for integrating into larger football analytics tools.

* Features

• Scrapes fixtures dates using any URL and selector
• Headless browser with Puppeteer
• Written in TypeScript for type safety and maintainability
• Outputs data to a JSON file

Installation

git clone https://github.com/annaadar/soccer-fixtures-scraper.git
cd soccer-fixtures-scraper
pnpm install #npm or yarn can also be used.

compiling

To compile the project, run either "pnpm run build" or "pnpm run build-watch". "build" will compile your project once, "build watch" will compile the files every time a change is detected.

pnpm run build #compile once
pnpm run build-watch #compile once + on every change

Running the project

In the src directory, add a constants.ts file. In the file, export two constants - FIXTURES_URL and DATES_SELECTOR. For example -

export const FIXTURES_URL = 'https://some-soccer-website/hapoel-beer-sheva/fixtures'
export const DATES_SELECTOR = "div.fixtures-class"

pnpm run scrape
