Public pbp data availability?

Post by Crow »

mediocre wrote: Sun Dec 03, 2023 7:43 pm I don't think this is the right thread, but I had a few data questions:

1) What is the best public source of raw play-by-play data?
2a) Is there any public play-by-play source that also has shot location and/or closest defender data?
2b) Or is there a public play-by-play source that has expected eFG%?



I believe play by play data is available for purchase at nbastuffer.com.

I am not sure if there are any other commercial services.

Check bball-index.com and cleaningtheglass.com.

There might be talented individuals (who read here and elsewhere on internet) with such data who might possibly be willing to share with others for certain purposes gratis or paid based on request.

Anyone willing to consider, respond here please.



(Don't hesitate to start new threads. It is easier to find responses and we want to try to keep distinct discussions in separate threads.)

I'm sure you're aware of this source, but this is what Jeremias Englemann is using right now:
