A Python wrapper for the Sportradar APIs

Project description

Python wrapper for Sportradar APIs

Build Status PyPI version Python version

This is a Python wrapper for the sports APIs provided by Sportradar. You'll need to sign up for an API key to use the service. Luckily, Sportradar provides a free tier that allows for 1,000 API queries per month and up to 1 query per second. The package currently only supports the Soccer INTL Trial v3 API, but I hope to expand it to support their APIs for other sports in the future.

Installation

The easiest way to start using this package is to install it via PyPI using pip:

$pip install sportradar

If you'd prefer to clone the repository and install it yourself, follow these steps:

  1. Clone this repo: $git clone https://github.com/johnwmillr/SportradarAPI.git
  2. Enter the cloned directory: $cd SportradarAPI
  3. Install: $python setup.py install

Usage

Below is a brief demonstration of using the package to download data for the 2018 FIFA World Cup.

import sportradar

# Create an instance of the Sportradar API class
sr = sportradar.API("paste your api key here")

# Get a list of all tournaments
tournaments = sr.get_tournaments().json()

# Get info on the 2018 World Cup (Teams, Rounds, etc.)
worldcup = sr.get_tournament_info(tournaments['tournaments'][4]['id']).json()

# Get more information on each team in the World Cup
teams = []
team_counter = 0
for group in worldcup['groups']:
    for team in group['teams']:
        team_counter += 1
        team_id = team['id']
        team_name = team['name']
        print("({}): {}, {}".format(team_counter, team_name, team_id))
        try:
            teams.append(sportsradar.get_team_profile(team_id).json())
        except Exception as e:
            print("Error: {}".format(e))
        time.sleep(5) # wait 5 seconds before next API call

# Save the team data to a .json file
print("Saving the data...", end="", flush=True)
with open("world_cup_team_data.json", "w") as outfile:
    json.dump(teams, outfile)
print(" Done.")
