class soccerdata.FotMob(leagues=None, seasons=None, proxy=None, no_cache=False, no_store=False, data_dir=PosixPath('/home/docs/soccerdata/data/FotMob'))

Provides pd.DataFrames from data available at http://www.fotmob.com.

Data will be downloaded as necessary and cached locally in ~/soccerdata/data/FotMob.

Parameters:

  • leagues (string or iterable, optional) – IDs of Leagues to include.

  • proxy ('tor' or dict or list(dict) or callable, optional) –

    Use a proxy to hide your IP address. Valid options are:

    • ’tor’: Uses the Tor network. Tor should be running in the background on port 9050.

    • dict: A dictionary with the proxy to use. The dict should be a mapping of supported protocols to proxy addresses. For example:

      {
    'http': 'http://10.10.1.10:3128',
    'https': 'http://10.10.1.10:1080',
}

    • list(dict): A list of proxies to choose from. A different proxy will be selected from this list after failed requests, allowing rotating proxies.

    • callable: A function that returns a valid proxy. This function will be called after failed requests, allowing rotating proxies.

  • no_cache (bool) – If True, will not use cached data.

  • no_store (bool) – If True, will not store downloaded data.
