APBRmetrics

Could just be a quirk. I know that certain video URLs were not working during preseason, but now they are back.

I noticed that too - in my class I put "This appears to no longer be publicly available on the stats nba website." when I first added it.

However, the endpoint still works for me, and I *can* pull 2017-18 seasonal data. Are you not experiencing differently?

I found a new endpoint - retrieving the full schedule and including the week #. Hat tip to this Reddit thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/74j87n/oc_convert_data_from_statsnbacom_easily/ I added the endpoint and updated my NBA API to version 1.0.5. If you want to be alerted of new updates ...

There's a lot of data returned in JSON files via AJAX requests after the page has loaded, including what appears to be play-by-play data, but it's difficult to parse through and I cannot tell if the shots are included in those files.

Thank you for the explanation - very cool way and efficient way of determining who is on the court at any given time! I might add a function to the library that converts the period/game time to an elapsed time, that sounds useful.

That's great! If you wanna share specifics or which endpoint(s) you found useful I'd love to hear it. Interestingly enough, it looks like one of the endpoints to retrieve video information is no longer working. I had a method to find the video of any play-by-play event of any game, and was going to ...

Hi all. You might recall, before the 2017 draft I posted a little site I whipped up to compare draft pick trade value charts based on Kevin Pelton's article(s) on the topic. In the meantime I have been working on a couple things that many of you might be interested in. The first is a new open-source...

Might be interesting sometime to open a similar contest to all and allow remote submissions.

Agreed that sounds cool

Cool! I've been updating it a lot lately. I'm currently up to 152 endpoints coming from stats.nba.com, data.nba.net, stats-prod.nba.com, and api.nba.net. Most other libraries only have endpoints from the 1st two and are definitely incomplete lists.

Are you talking about my library or one of the others that currently exists? I haven't yet made a post about it because it's not fully ready or tested. I know mine will have far more endpoints than any other library has currently found though.

Rather than make a pitch to teams, I'm hoping to just let some of my work speak for itself. Rather than a having mathematical/analytics background who has dabbled in databases/programming, I am a software developer with extensive database experience, with some background in analytics (master's agree...

As a Pistons fan/season ticket holder, I can probably give a little better insight as to what their plan is. I think they want to give this thing one more year. Last year they were one of two teams to start training camp with no player over 30 years old. They had the 4th youngest team in the NBA ave...

Running through all 4 existing models of the draft pick trade value simulator , this is the expected value for the 3rd pick, and 5th + 10th pick: 3rd pick value: 73.98, 66.75, 72.75, 87.66 5th + 10th pick value: 107.35, 99.00, 113.25, 129.18 All 4 models heavily, heavily favor the 5+10 pick over the...

Can you explain the last table? For example, what is the %max column representing, and also how did you determine how to weigh the picks at a particular %? Also how did you come up with the DiscWAR and TotalWAR values?

Josh you make a good point. That's why I was careful to call it draft pick trade value and not anything more. The models are only meant to deal with what's fair in trading picks. One feature I'd like to think about and add is providing value for picks in subsequent years and adding that to the simul...
