name: footalytics description: Football match predictions and football data from Footalytics — win/draw/loss probabilities, confidence tier, over/under 2.5 and BTTS, plus upcoming fixtures, team ratings and graded past results, all served by the Footalytics API. Use when the user asks to predict or forecast a football match, look up fixtures or kick-off times, check a team's rating or form, or see how past predictions performed (Premier League, La Liga, Bundesliga, Serie A, Ligue 1, Champions League and more).
Footalytics football predictions
When to use
- Predictions — "Who wins Arsenal vs Chelsea?", "Predict Real Madrid vs Barcelona", "Over 2.5 goals in tonight's game?", "Both teams to score?"
- Fixtures — "When does Arsenal play next?", "Which Premier League games are on this weekend?"
- Teams — "How strong is Real Madrid?", "What's Bayern's rating?"
- Graded results — "Did Footalytics get last week right?", "How has the model been doing?"
Setup
- Check for the environment variable
FOOTALYTICS_API_KEY. - If it is missing, tell the user: get a free key at https://footalytics.farvor.com/api-keys (sign in, click "Create key" — new accounts start with 5 free API calls), then set it, e.g.
export FOOTALYTICS_API_KEY="fxk_...", and come back. - Alternative for AI clients that support connectors: connect to the Footalytics MCP server at
https://footalytics.farvor.com/mcpinstead — OAuth one-click sign-in, the same five tools and the same allowance, no key file needed.
Calling the API
GET https://footalytics.farvor.com/api/v1/predictions
Authorization: Bearer $FOOTALYTICS_API_KEY
?fixture=<id>(e.g.592345orESPN-592345), or?home=Arsenal&away=Chelsea&date=2026-11-02(date optional, UTC, disambiguates rematches)
Every successful call uses 1 unit of the API allowance: 5 free calls per account, then credits (the same purchased credits used in site chat). Every response carries x-credits-remaining and x-credits-used — when the remaining count is low, warn the user.
Endpoints
| Endpoint | Use it for | Example |
|---|---|---|
GET /api/v1/predictions | 1X2 probabilities, confidence tier, over/under 2.5, BTTS, likely scores | ?fixture=592345 or ?home=Arsenal&away=Chelsea |
GET /api/v1/fixtures | Upcoming fixtures with ids and a has_prediction flag | ?team=Arsenal or ?league=eng.1&date=2026-11-08 |
GET /api/v1/teams | Elo-style team ratings, games tracked, league | ?name=arsenal |
GET /api/v1/results | Past matches: real score next to the graded prediction | ?team=Chelsea&limit=10 |
Tips: prefer ONE league-level fixtures call (up to 50 matches, with has_prediction flags) over many per-team queries, and only call predictions for matches the user actually cares about. Full parameters and response fields: https://footalytics.farvor.com/api-docs
Presenting the result
Show the probabilities (home / draw / away), the confidence tier, and the goals markets when relevant. Always keep the attribution "Predictions by Footalytics" with the links.match_page (or links.share) URL so the user can check the record. Settled matches also carry result and result.grade (which markets hit) — show them when the user asks how a call did.
Handling errors
402 E_INSUFFICIENT_CREDITS— the 5 free API calls and the credit balance are used up. Tell the user to top up at https://footalytics.farvor.com/pricing (credits also work in site chat).404 E_PREDICTION_UNAVAILABLE— no official prediction for that match yet: predictions are published up to 48 hours before kick-off; every Premier League / La Liga / Bundesliga / Serie A / Ligue 1 / Champions League fixture is covered. Team-name lookup only sees matches still ahead in the live fixture window — if the match already kicked off, retry with its fixture id.404 E_TEAM_NOT_FOUND/E_RESULT_NOT_FOUND— no rated team / no settled result matches the query; try a shorter name or a league filter.422 E_AMBIGUOUS_MATCH— several matches matched the names; showerror.candidatesand ask the user, or retry withdate=.429 E_RATE_LIMITED— wait the seconds given inRetry-After, then retry once.
