Football-Data.org API questions

Is there an API for Football-Data.org?

How do I scrape Football-Data.org data?
POST to https://api.anakin.io/v1/wire/task with your API key, the action ID, and its parameters, then poll GET /v1/wire/jobs/{id} until the job settles. There is nothing to install and no scraper to maintain — when football-data.org changes its markup, Anakin updates the action.
Do I need a Football-Data.org account?
No. Every Football-Data.org action listed here runs anonymously — no account and no credentials required.
What does the Football-Data.org API cost?
