schochastics football-data: price, features and alternatives

What schochastics football-data does

schochastics football-data is an open GitHub repository of football datasets released under the Open Data Commons Attribution License. The main dataset is a parquet file of results covering more than 1.2 million games across 207 top-tier domestic leagues and 20 international tournaments from 1888 to 2023, with team, country, continent and competition fields. Further folders hold formations and lineups, and goal details with scorer and time for the top European leagues, European cups and some national cups. The author warns that older games contain errors and that merged or split teams are not handled consistently. It is a downloadable dataset rather than a live API.
