Re: Older play by play data
I'm still in the process of building out, but I can provide ruby code that will download box scores and PBP (html) and shot charts (XML) from the WWL for any date range of games you desire.
The box score parsing exists, but because it's HTML it's wibbly wobley - and because the WWL rounds off - minute counts aren't exact
Shot Charts are next and are much cleaner, easier to process
It's my first serious programming project, ever, so I can't promise the code is exquisite but so far it works
(PS - guys with names like Nené are a pain)
