Practical Example

Let’s check the team IDs and injury times for matchweek 24 of the 2024/25 Premier League season.

from datafc.sofascore import match_data

match_df = match_data(
    tournament_id=17,
    season_id=61627,
    week_number=24,
    enable_json_export=True
)

The saved data file has been updated to include its source.

With the newly added columns, you can now directly access team IDs and injury times.

Best regards.
