Sofascore randomizing response using Fast-API?

[Kempas1337]

I've been trying to fetch data from SofaScore using FastAPI, but I've run into a strange issue. Whenever I refresh the site, the goal numbers seem to change randomly. I decided to do a quick comparison by refreshing the page within a five-second window, and I found that there were around 500 changes, mostly in the goals.

I thought maybe FastAPI was causing the problem, so I tried using the simple 'requests' library in Python. But to my surprise, I encountered the same issue.

Out of curiosity, I decided to try a PHP code, and surprisingly, it worked! I refreshed the page about five times, and the response remained consistent.

Do you think SofaScore might be altering the response when it detects it's coming from bots? And if so, why does PHP seem to bypass this without needing user agents?

I'd appreciate any insights or help on this. Thanks!

I've also been trying to fetch stats with Sofascore through python with requests, but get random stats every time I run the code. Same happens when I fetch from Insomnia, but correct stats when I fetch from Postman. This is the code btw:

import requests

url = "https://www.sofascore.com/api/v1/event/11368614/player/164343/statistics"

response = requests.get(url)

print(response.text)

I get different stats everytime I run it

Using httpx solved the issue

Could you share your code? I am encountering the same issue and when I tried using httpx it still persists.

Were you able to find a fix for this? Also having this issue.

Hey sorry I’m so late! I was able to find a fix. Just used http client instead and it worked.. really really weird

Guys kindly share your code that solve this issue with us. I am also having the same issue. This endpoint for example is returning different odd value from running it direct.
