Questions people ask
How do I import this workflow into n8n?

Do I need an Apify account?
Yes. The workflow calls the SofaScore Live Scores, Standings & Team Search Data Actor through the Apify API with your own token, and each run is billed to your Apify account. The Free plan includes $5 of usage a month.

With the starter input (maxItems = 25) a first run costs about $0.42 on the Apify Free plan: $0.40 to start the run at 4 GB of memory and $0.02 for the results, plus platform usage. The Actor's Store page shows the current price.
Can I change what it collects?
