# Get Historical Game Results

Historical game results are the foundation of sports analysis. Whether you are writing a retrospective article, settling a debate about how a season unfolded, or building a dataset for prediction models, you need access to accurate, structured results from past games.

The scores_by_date skill retrieves game results for any specific date or range, returning final scores, teams, and game details. This lets you reconstruct any day in sports history, compare seasons, or analyze patterns across years of data.

Sports historians use this for research. Content creators use it for throwback content and anniversary articles. Data scientists use it to train prediction models. Fantasy sports platforms use it for historical matchup analysis. Having programmatic access to historical results eliminates the tedious work of manually looking up scores on archive sites.
