Overview

Returns the current number of live football games tracked by the upstream TransferMarkt service. Use it for a lightweight live-match availability check or to decide whether to request detailed live-game data.

Inputs

This endpoint does not require any inputs, query parameters, or request body.

Response

A successful response is a JSON object with:

success (boolean): Whether the request succeeded.
message (string): Status message; the verified response returns "OK".
data (object): Result container.
data.count (number): Current count of live games. The verified response returned 1.

Auth & browser

No authentication is required. The endpoint does not require a browser context or fetch-based execution.

Examples

Request

GET /games/live-count

Verified success response

{
  "success": true,
  "message": "OK",
  "data": {
    "count": 1
  }
}

Notes

The count is time-sensitive and may change between requests. The upstream response indicates short-lived caching (max-age=30), so the returned value may be briefly cached.
