⚽ World Cup 2026 Skill

FIFA World Cup 2026 data + the points-based prediction game. Script skill — call the functions in core.skill_tools.worldcup from bash and read the JSON. Auth is automatic (container JWT); no API key needed.

How to call

python3 -c "from core.skill_tools import worldcup; import json; print(json.dumps(worldcup.get_today_matches()))"

Every function returns a dict like {"success": true, "data": ...} (or {"success": false, "error": ...} on failure).

When to use

• Matches — today / upcoming / live / finished, or one specific match.
• Predictions — place, cancel, or review prediction history.
• Stats — point balance, betting limits, win rate, total staked.
• Leaderboard — top predictors by points or accuracy.

Functions (from core.skill_tools import worldcup)

Function	Returns
get_today_matches()	today's matches + your prediction status
get_upcoming_matches(limit=10)	next scheduled matches
get_live_matches()	matches in progress now
get_finished_matches(limit=20)	recent results
get_match_detail(match_id)	one match in full
place_bet(match_id, predict_type, prediction, stake)	places a prediction
cancel_prediction(prediction_id)	cancels an unsettled prediction, refunds stake
get_betting_status()	point balance, pending stakes, min/max stake
get_my_predictions(match_id=None, settled_only=False)	your prediction history
get_prediction_detail(prediction_id)	one prediction in full
get_my_stats()	your win rate, total staked, etc.
get_leaderboard(limit=50, sort_by="points")	top predictors (sort_by: points|accuracy)

Placing a bet — predict_type and prediction

prediction is a dict whose shape depends on predict_type. Fill ONLY the keys for that type:

predict_type	prediction	meaning
win_draw_loss	{"choice": "home"|"draw"|"away"}	match result
exact_score	{"home": N, "away": N}	exact final score
total_goals	{"range": "0-1"|"2-3"|"4+"}	total goals bucket
first_goal	{"team": "TEAM_CODE"}	which team scores first (e.g. BRA)

stake = points to wager: multiple of 10, min 10, max 10000.

Recommended place_bet flow

1. get_betting_status() — confirm enough available points.
2. get_match_detail(match_id) or get_today_matches() — confirm the match is open and get team codes (needed for first_goal).
3. place_bet(match_id, predict_type, prediction, stake).
4. Read back the returned prediction ID to the user.

Example:

python3 -c "from core.skill_tools import worldcup; import json; print(json.dumps(worldcup.place_bet(42, 'win_draw_loss', {'choice':'home'}, 100)))"

Notes

• Points are the prediction-game currency, not real money — present as a game, never as financial advice.
• cancel_prediction only works while a prediction is unsettled; it refunds the stake.
• Match times are UTC; convert to the user's timezone when relevant.
