Ok how long would that process take?J.E. wrote:Python with urllib is a good place to start.
Further, you could use Python's Beautifulsoup or go the laborious way with string.split and string.replace

Yeah my programming knowledge is limited. Oh well I guess I have to hope someone else does it.EvanZ wrote:Yeah, colts, I don't want to be Debbie Downer here, but based on your line of questioning, I'm guessing you have very little programming experience. In that case, it will take a long time. I would definitely encourage you to learn how to program (there are plenty of free online courses now), and try to tackle this project after you get some significant "flight time" under your belt.

I'd assume BBR will have the PbP data soon, so I wouldn't worry.colts18 wrote:Yeah my programming knowledge is limited. Oh well I guess I have to hope someone else does it.

Raw play by play example:

Raw box score example:

The boxscore API is kind of cool. You can produce a box score not only for each quarter, but also for any given range within a game, like for a given 2 minute span in the first quarter. StartRange/EndRange represent the number of tenths of a second elapsed in the game. Lots of possibilities here.
Example:

from changing it and looking at the differences, i think it controls the type of box score you're gettingbigbossman wrote:What does RangeType mean? It can be 0-2.
First post!
Thanks
