Downloadable box score stats

[dbecker]

I am looking for downloadable NBA box scores (ideally in a SQL database dump or some other format appropriate for a large dataset).

I found interfaces to view box scores for individual games at hoopdata, basketball-reference and dougstats. However, I haven't been able to find anywhere to download box scores in bulk. Is there a place to download this data in bulk (or an API to any sites with this data)?

Thanks,
Dan

Thanks sideshowbob,

I see play-by-play data on that site, as well as data aggregated across games. But I don't see any box score data on that site. Is there box-score data that I'm missing? Alternatively, does anyone know of scripts in the public domain that generate box scores from the play-by-play data?

I can provide you with box score data going back to 1986 in the form of a Python dictionary Pickled to a .dat file, but I have no idea whether that would be of use to you?

@Crow: Thanks. Those prices aren't bad. I'm glad to hear that service exists.

@v-zero: A pickled python dict would be perfect. I will PM you to figure out the easiest way to send it.

Mental lapse on my part. "Box-scores" didn't even register, my apologies.
