Source documentation, not instructions for this website. Review permissions before running any commands.
Before writing queries, consult references/api-reference.md for endpoints, ID conventions, and data shapes.
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.
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 calling any data endpoint, verify:
get_current_season(competition_id="...") — never hardcoded.search_team(query="...") and passed as the numeric team_id.

The year is the start year of the season, not the end year.get_current_season(competition_id="mls").This skill stitches several free sources together. Coverage is not uniform — each endpoint works only where its underlying source has data. Check this before promising an answer; when an endpoint isn't covered, it returns an empty payload with an explanatory message (never an error) — read that message and fall back.

# 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:
```bash
which sports-skills || pip install sports-skills
```
If `pip install` fails (package not found or Python version error), install from GitHub:
```bash
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:
```bash
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:
```bash
sports-skills football get_daily_schedule
sports-skills football get_season_standings --season_id=premier-league-2025
```
Python SDK (alternative):
```python
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-`).
## Choosing the Season
Derive the current year from the system prompt's date (e.g., `currentDate: 2026-02-16` → current year is 2026).
- **If the user specifies a season**, use it as-is.
- **If the user says "current", "latest", or doesn't specify**: Call `get_current_season(competition_id="...")` to get the active season_id. Do NOT guess or hardcode the year.
- **Season format**: Always `{league-slug}-{year}` (e.g., `"premier-league-2025"` for the 2025-26 season). The year is the start year of the season, not the end year.
- **MLS exception**: MLS runs spring-fall within a single calendar year. Use `get_current_season(competition_id="mls")`.
## Coverage & Source Map
This skill stitches several free sources together. **Coverage is not uniform** — each endpoint works only where its underlying source has data. Check this before promising an answer; when an endpoint isn't covered, it returns an empty payload with an explanatory `message` (never an error) — read that message and fall back.
| Endpoint(s) | Source | Coverage |
|---|---|---|
| standings, schedules, teams, event summary/lineups/stats/timeline | ESPN | **All leagues** (broadest — the backbone) |
| `get_event_xg`, `get_event_players_statistics` (xG fields) | Understat | **Top 5 only** (EPL, La Liga, Bundesliga, Serie A, Ligue 1). *Not RFPL — Understat dropped it.* |
| `get_season_leaders`, `get_missing_players` | FPL | **Premier League only** |
| `get_player_profile`, `get_season_transfers` (market value) | Transfermarkt | Any player with a `tm_player_id` |
| `get_head_to_head` | football-data.co.uk | **11 European domestic leagues** (EPL, Championship, La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga, Ligue 1, Eredivisie, Primeira Liga, Scottish, Belgian, Turkish). Same-division meetings only. |
| `get_team_strength`, `get_match_forecast` | ClubElo | **European clubs** (incl. Russia). |
Rule of thumb: **ESPN answers "what happened" everywhere; the enrichment sources ( Understat/FPL/ClubElo/football-data.co.uk ) add depth only in their coverage zone.** ESPN is always the fixture/score authority — never let an enrichment source override an ESPN score.
### Gotchas (from live testing)
- **Pass IDs, not ambiguous names.** For H2H/strength/forecast, resolve teams with `search_team` first and pass the numeric `team_id`. Names like "Paris Saint-Germain" can collapse onto the wrong club (Paris FC) during name resolution.
- **ClubElo off-season gaps**: current-date `get_team_strength` can miss clubs in the summer break (a club's weekly Elo period may not span today). If a well-known club returns unresolved, pass an in-season `date` (e.g. `date="2026-03-01"`).
- **`get_match_forecast` is short-horizon**: ClubElo only forecasts ~a week ahead — empty between matchdays / off-season. That's expected, not a failure.
- **H2H is same-division only**: two clubs that met in a cup or across tiers won't show; it counts league meetings in the resolved division.
- **H2H tells "unresolved" apart from "never met"**: football-data.co.uk uses short exonyms/abbreviations ("FC Koln", "M'gladbach", "Sp Lisbon"). Each club in `teams[]` reports `resolved` + `matched_as`; if a club is `resolved: false`, zero meetings means the lookup failed, not that the clubs never played.
## Combining Endpoints (mix-and-match)
Compose sources for richer answers. Run independent calls in parallel.
- **Match preview** (`X vs Y`): `search_team` ×2 → `get_head_to_head` (recent record) + `get_team_strength(team_id, team_id_2)` (Elo gap / favorite) + `get_match_forecast` (if within ~a week: W/D/L + scoreline). For a top-5 fixture add historical `get_event_xg` context from recent meetings.
- **Match report** (post-game): `get_event_summary` + `get_event_statistics` + `get_event_timeline`, and for top-5 leagues `get_event_xg` + `get_event_players_statistics`.
- **Team form + context**: `get_team_schedule` (recent results) + `get_team_strength` (current Elo & rank) + `get_missing_players` (PL only) + per-match `get_event_xg` (top-5).
- **Rivalry / derby deep dive**: `get_head_to_head` (all-time-ish record + goals) + `get_team_strength` comparison for the current power balance.
- **Odds sanity-check**: `get_match_forecast` gives a free model baseline (W/D/L) to compare against the `kalshi` / `polymarket` betting skills.
When a piece of the composition isn't covered (e.g. xG outside the top 5, H2H for MLS), skip it silently and deliver the parts that are covered — don't block the whole answer on one missing source.
