fivbvis 0.3

Python client for the Volleyball Information System (FIVB VIS)

FIVB VIS Python Client

The package fivbvis is a Python client library for easy integration with the Volleyball Information System Web Service of the Fédération Internationale de Volleyball (FIVB), handling public data and only documented requests, and providing XML and JSON responses.

The VIS Web Service enables third party applications to access all public data about volleyball, beach volleyball and other events. This client facilitates access for Python programmers, enabling access to data such as articles, matches, events, images, players, player rankings, and tournaments.

It is compatible with Python versions 3.8 and above, but it has been tested specifically on versions 3.8 and 3.11.
