football-data

football-data is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from machina-sports/sports-skills. It costs 259 tokens per session (4,629 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A source of football, also called soccer, information from major leagues and competitions around the world. It covers matches, teams, players, transfers, standings, and performance measures such as expected goals (xG).

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to get daily schedules, league standings, match statistics, player profiles, transfer information, head-to-head records, team ratings, and match forecasts.
Why use it?
It removes the need to assemble football information from separate league and statistics websites. It also provides tools for comparing teams and examining likely match outcomes.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

football-data scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/validate_params.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 263 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Football Data

Before writing queries, consult references/api-reference.md for endpoints, ID conventions, and data shapes.

Setup

Before first use, check if the CLI is available:

which sports-skills || pip install sports-skills

If pip install fails (package not found or Python version error), install from GitHub:

pip install git+https://github.com/machina-sports/sports-skills.git

The package requires Python 3.10+. If your default Python is older, use a specific version:

python3 --version  # check version
# If < 3.10, try: python3.12 -m pip install sports-skills
# On macOS with Homebrew: /opt/homebrew/bin/python3.12 -m pip install sports-skills

No API keys required.

Quick Start

Prefer the CLI — it avoids Python import path issues:

sports-skills football get_daily_schedule
sports-skills football get_season_standings --season_id=premier-league-2025

Python SDK (alternative):

from sports_skills import football

standings = football.get_season_standings(season_id="premier-league-2025")
schedule = football.get_daily_schedule()

CRITICAL: Before Any Query

CRITICAL: Before calling any data endpoint, verify:

  • Season ID is derived from get_current_season(competition_id="...") — never hardcoded.
  • Team ID is resolved via search_team(query="...") and passed as the numeric team_id. For get_head_to_head, get_team_strength, and get_match_forecast, always pass IDs — ambiguous names (e.g. two "Paris" clubs) can resolve to the wrong team.
  • The endpoint actually covers the league in question — see the Coverage & Source Map below. Coverage is uneven across sources; an uncovered call returns an empty payload with a message, not data.
  • get_event_xg and get_event_players_statistics (with xG) are only called for top-5 leagues (EPL, La Liga, Bundesliga, Serie A, Ligue 1).
  • get_season_leaders and get_missing_players are only called for Premier League seasons (season_id must start with premier-league-).

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
