Automatic score setting after a match

[bartektartanus]

There is a free API that provides match results (up to 10 calls per minute). You just need to register to get a free API key and use it. The app could run every minute, check if any match is finished (more than 105 minutes after it started), and if so, call the API to get the results.

Example GET: https://api.football-data.org/v4/competitions/EC/matches?status=FINISHED&dateFrom=2024-07-14&dateTo=2024-07-14 with header: X-Auth-Token=YOUR_API_KEY will return all finished matches from that date.

Response without status=FINISHED
