SoccerData is a collection of scrapers to gather soccer data from popular
websites, including `Club Elo`_, `ESPN`_, `FBref`_, `FiveThirtyEight`_,
`Football-Data.co.uk`_, `FotMob`_, `Sofascore`_, `SoFIFA`_, `Understat`_ and `WhoScored`_.
You get Pandas DataFrames with sensible, matching column names and identifiers
across datasets. Data is downloaded when needed and cached locally.

.. code:: python

import soccerdata as sd

# Create a scraper class instance for the 2018/19 Premier League
five38 = sd.FiveThirtyEight('ENG-Premier League', '1819')

# Fetch data
games = five38.read_games()
forecasts = five38.read_forecasts()
clinches = five38.read_clinches()

To learn how to install, configure and use SoccerData, see the
`Quickstart guide `__. For documentation on each of the
supported data sources, see the `example notebooks `__
and `API reference `__.
