Xmlstats-py 0.1.4

Installing

pip install xmlstats-py

Usage

Xmlstats can return “objectified” data, in which nested JSON objects from the xmlstats API are accessible as attributes, or it can return data in native python objects, as if parsed with json.load().

stats = Xmlstats(access_token=MY_ACCESS_TOKEN, user_agent=MY_USER_AGENT, objectify=True)
# if objectify=False, data will be returned in native python objects

stats.objectify_off() # set objectify = False
stats.objectify_on()  # set objectify = True

Examples

Get Boxscores for a given date - yyyymmdd

stats = Xmlstats(access_token=MY_ACCESS_TOKEN, user_agent=MY_USER_AGENT)
events = stats.get_events(date=20141028, sport="nba")  # returns event objects for all nba events on given date
event_ids = [event.event_id for event in events.event]
boxscores = []
for event_id in event_ids:
    boxscores.append(stats.get_boxscore(sport="nba", event_id))

Note: As in the xmlstats API, the get_events() method returns an instance with 2 attributes: events_date is a date string; event is an array of event objects
