nfl-stadiums 1.2.0

A simple python package that provides easy access to NFL stadium data

NFLTeamStadiums

A simple python package that provides easy access to NFL stadium data such as capacity, location, and weather.

This package utilizes the Wikipedia API to retrieve NFL stadium data, Open-Meteo.com for weather information, and provides methods for easy access to the same. Stadium data is fairly static, so by default, this class will save the data retrieved from Wikipedia locally for subsequent uses for quicker access and less load on Wikipedia. See the below documentation for details on basic usage.

Installation and Basic Usage

1. Clone or download the repository
2. Import the class in your code
3. Instantiate the class

pip install nfl-stadiums

from nfl_stadiums import NFLStadiums

# Default instantiation will use local cache if available and print to console
nfl_stadiums = NFLStadiums()

# Set verbose=false to stop printing to console and use_cache=false to retrieve data from wikipedia and overwrite cache
nfl_stadiums = NFLStadiums(use_cache=False, verbose=False)

Methods

get_stadium_by_team

nfl_stadiums.get_stadium_by_team("lions")

get_stadium_by_name

nfl_stadiums.get_stadium_by_team("ford field")
