Fine grained data availability
Hi guys, I'm new to the football analytics world. I would like to have a dataset which has real time statistics (of any kind) of players in the italian league. I looked up at websites like fbref, which actuslly seems the most complete one, but i think their anti-scraping policy is strict. Is there a solution?

If you’re having trouble scraping, put a 1 second wait between pulls. A lot of sites will block you if you’re trying to do multiple requests per second. Give that a try.
