crawlora-flashscore

Python client for Crawlora's hosted Flashscore API. It calls Crawlora's service at Crawlora; it does not run a browser or scrape Flashscore locally. A Crawlora account and CRAWLORA_API_KEY are required, and API use is billed under your Crawlora account. Crawlora is independent from and not endorsed by Flashscore or its owners.

Install

python -m pip install crawlora-flashscore

Get an API key

Create an account at crawlora.net, then open the Crawlora console for API-key setup. Set your key in the shell before running the client:

export CRAWLORA_API_KEY="your-crawlora-api-key"

Use

Save this example as example.py, then run python example.py after installing the package and setting your API key.

import os

from crawlora_flashscore import FlashscoreClient

api_key = os.environ.get("CRAWLORA_API_KEY")
if not api_key:
    raise RuntimeError("Set CRAWLORA_API_KEY before running this example.")

with FlashscoreClient(api_key=api_key) as client:
    result_1 = client.sports()
    print(result_1)
    result_2 = client.scores(sport='football', day_offset=0)
    print(result_2)

The package also exports Client as an alias for FlashscoreClient. Operation methods are available directly in snake_case and through the flashscore group. The async package client is AsyncFlashscoreClient; see the online endpoint and parameter reference and runnable example.

Async usage

The package also exports AsyncClient for asynchronous requests:

import asyncio
import os

from crawlora_flashscore import AsyncClient

async def main():
    api_key = os.environ.get("CRAWLORA_API_KEY")
    if not api_key:
        raise RuntimeError("Set CRAWLORA_API_KEY before running this example.")
    async with AsyncClient(api_key=api_key) as client:
        result_1 = await client.sports()
        print(result_1)

asyncio.run(main())

The import snippet above is for a project where this PyPI package is installed. To run the checked-in example from a source checkout, install ./python from the repository root and run python examples/python.py; see the source-checkout instructions.

Configuration

Pass your key through api_key or read CRAWLORA_API_KEY from the environment. Keep credentials out of source control and logs. Requests go to Crawlora's hosted API, and response data and availability follow its current contract.
