Getting Started

I understand the project is largely a WIP but any scripts to start downloading boxscore and play-by-play data?

@bscully yep, that is possible to do at the moment. I can show you how - any sport in particular you're interested in?

With a list of BoxScoreIDs (as variable boxes) I ran this code:

all_gms, broken = pd.DataFrame(), []
for gm in boxes:
    print gm
    b = BoxScore(gm)
    try:
        df = pbp.expand_details(b.pbp())
        all_gms = all_gms.append( df )
    except:
        broken.append(gm)
    del b
