I was wondering what way sites like FutHead, FutBin and FutWiz get access to the full player database on their sites. I assume they somehow get the data from the official FIFA site.

I just would like to learn more about this. Not sure what the technical terms would be for this process.

I googled you question and saw that FutHead had a reddit AMA where they answered this exact quest. They use the provided FUT EA database, but the grammatically collect data.

I'm not sure what you wanted to do with the database, but someone has created an API that lets you do a lot of things with FUT.

It appears that you can do a lot with the provided code examples.
