About the Project
Sportscaster is a reliable sports API which scrapes data from the most reliable sources in the internet and organizes them in a neat and easy to use JSON format.
Reasons why I built this
- There aren’t a lot of free sports APIs on the internet
- Scraping data is ridiculously boring and tiresome (Let me do that task for you)
Ofcourse, the API is not complete and I will continue to make it better so if you have any issues or want something that is not in the API yet, feel free to raise a issue
A list of sites I scraped for this API are listed in acknowledgements
Getting Started
The API is very simple to use , all you have to do is know what you want to search for!
A sample is given below, we extract the live football matches of the day
curl https://sportscaster.herokuapp.com/football/live-matches
returns the output in the following
[
{
"match_type": "matchday 3",
"match_code": "3594182",
"teams": [
{
"name": "Hallescher FC",
"code": "hallescher-fc",
"id": "440"
},
{
"name": "E. Braunschweig",
"code": "eintracht-braunschweig",
"id": "23"
}
],
"match_status": "6:00 PM"
},
.

]
and so on
