FanGraphs-Export

The FanGraphs website, well-known among baseball fans, provides a variety of baseball statistics. The statistics available are extremely expansive, as the website brags stats for every player in MLB history.

The fangraphs package allows for simple, intuitive parsing of the many webpages available. While not every page is "scrape-able" (i.e. the pages are most composed of graphics), there are plans for covering as many pages as possible, including the most popular ones. This package contains modules for scraping and exporting data from each of the covered webpages.

Dependencies

The fangraphs library requires Python version 3.6 or higher.

The following libraries along are required for the fangraphs library.

• BeautifulSoup4
• lxml
• playwright
• pytest
• requests

Note: The dependencies of each package listed above are also required.

To install all the necessary packages, run:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Note: The browser binaries of playwright are needed for proper usage. To install the browser binaries, run playwright install. See the Playwright documentation for more information.

Basic Usage

• Leaders

Leaders

FanGraphs Leaders pages:

• Major League Leaderboards
• Splits Leaderboards
• Season Stat Grid
• 60-Game Span Leaderboards
• KBO Leaderboards
• WAR Leaderboards

from fangraphs.leaders import leaders

mll = leaders.MajorLeague()
splits = leaders.Splits()
ssg = leaders.SeasonStat()
gsl = leaders.GameSpan()
intl = leaders.International()
war = leaders.WAR()
