Getting Started

Python-mlb-statsapi is an unofficial MLB Stats API written in python 3.7+. It provides developers access to the MLB Stats API endpoint to pull information related to MLB Rosters, Teams, Players, stats and much more. All the information for getting started can be found in this README. However, a more detailed explanation can be found in our Docs section or in our Wiki.

Examples

Let's show some examples of getting stat objects from the API. What is baseball with out stats right?

MLB Stats

Player Stats

Get the Id(s) of the players you want stats for and set stat types and groups.

>>> mlb = mlbstatsapi.Mlb()
>>> player = mlb.get_player_id("Ty France")
>>> types = ['season', 'career']
>>> groups = ['hitting', 'pitching']

Use player.id and stat types and groups to return a stats dictionary

>>> stat_dict = mlb.get_player_stats(player.id, stats=types, groups=groups )
>>> season_hitting_stat = stat_dict['hitting']['season']
>>> career_pitching_stat = stat_dict['pitching']['career']

Print season hitting stats

>>> for attribute, value in season_hitting_stat.stat.__dict__.items():
...     print(attribute, value)
>>>

Team stats

Get the Team Id(s)

python3
>>> mlb = mlbstatsapi.Mlb()
>>> team = mlb.get_team_id('Seattle Mariners')
>>> print(team.id)
[136]

Set the stat types and groups.

>>> types = ['season', 'seasonAdvanced']
>>> groups = ['hitting']

Use team.id and the stat types and groups to return season hitting stats

stats = mlb.get_team_stats(team.id, stats=types, groups=groups)
season_hitting = stats['hitting']['season']
advanced_hitting = stats['hitting']['seasonadvanced']

Print season and seasonadvanced stats

>>> for attribute, value in season_hitting.stat.__dict__.items():
...     print(attribute, value)
>>>
... for attribute, value in advanced_hitting.stat.__dict__.items():
>>>     print(attribute, value)

More stats examples

Expected Stats

Get player Id's

>>> player = mlb.get_player_id('Ty France')

Set the stat type and group

>>> stats = ['expectedStatistics']
>>> group = ['hitting']

Get Stats

>>> stats = mlb.get_player_stats(player, stats=stats, groups=group)
>>> expectedstats = stats['hitting']['expectedstatistics']

vsPlayer

Get pitcher and batter player Ids

>>> hitter = mlb.get_player_id('Ty France')
>>> pitcher = mlb.get_player_id('Shoei Ohtani')

Set stat type, stat groups, and params

>>> stats = ['vsPlayer']
>>> group = ['hitting']
>>> params = {'opposingPlayerId': pitcher.id}

Get stats

>>> stats = self.mlb.get_player_stats(self.ty_france, stats=self.stats, groups=self.group, **self.params)

hotColdZones

Get player Id's

>>> hitter = mlb.get_player_id('Ty France')
>>> pitcher = mlb.get_player_id('Shoei Ohtani')

Set the stat types and groups

>>> type = ['hotColdZones']
>>> hitting_group = ['hitting']
>>> pitching_group = ['pitching']

The stat groups pitching and hitting both return hotColdZones for a pitcher and hitter. hotColdZones are not assigned to a stat group because of issues related to the REST API. So hotColdZones will be assigned to the stat key in stats return dict.

>>> hitting_hotcoldzones = mlb.get_player_stats(hitter.id, stats=type, groups=hitting_group)
>>> pitching_hotcoldzones = mlb.get_player_stats(pitcher.id, stats=type, groups=pitching_group)

hotColdZones returns a list of the HotColdZones

>>> ty_france_hotcoldzones = hitting_hotcoldzones['stats']['hotcoldzones'][0]
>>> shoei_ohtani_hotcoldzones = pitching_hotcoldzones['stats']['hotcoldzones'][0]

Loop through the hotColdZone objects for Ty France

>>> for zone in ty_france_hotcoldzones:
>>>     print(zone.zone)
>>>     print(zone.value)
>>>             

Loop through the hotColdZone objects for Shoei Ohtani

>>> for zone in shoei_ohtani_hotcoldzones:
>>>     print(zonecodes.zone)
>>>     print(zonecodes.value)
>>>

Passing params

Get Team Ids

python3
>>> mlb = mlbstatsapi.Mlb()
>>> team = mlb.get_team_id('Seattle Mariners')

Set the stat types and groups.

>>> types = ['season', 'seasonAdvanced']
>>> groups = ['hitting']

Pass season to get_team_stats()

stats = mlb.get_team_stats(team.id, stats=types, groups=groups, season=2018)

season_hitting = stats['hitting']['season']
advanced_hitting = stats['hitting']['seasonadvanced']

season should be 2018

assertEqual(season_hitting.season == 2018)
assertEqual(advanced_hitting.season == 2018)
