RE: Sports scraper - zag - 2015-01-30
Thank, nice find. Will have a look tomorrow at the Arsenal one and the extra api method you wanted.
A little progress today as I managed to import the player manager transparent PNG images for a fair few players from a massive text file
- Player Cutout Images (transparent football manager)
- Playermanager ID's stored in the DB now
- strCutout and idPlayerManager available in the API
Example
http://www.thesportsdb.com/player/34145910
NOTE: All player images might take a few days to copy as there are 9gb of them!

- outer glow
- make it light grey
- make it 2 or 4 pixels wide (depending on your image size)
- Reduce the opacity a little to about 60%
I didn't have Outer-Glow, alternatively I found Drop-Shadow. I used the following settings to get the clearart logo to match the badge, reasonably well:-
- filters
- light and shadow
- drop shadow
- x = 4 y = 4
- blur radius = 15
- colour #525252
- 80% opacity
P.S. wanted to make the images smaller, but couldn't immediately see how... and it's a school night! Peace out!

RE: Sports scraper - Ovokx - 2015-01-30
Full NBA regular season schedule added to the "Event additions" sheet
PS: Is it possible to add past events with results using this sheet?
RE: Sports scraper - zag - 2015-01-31
Yep past events is fine as well. You could even add the home and away score to 2 new columns if wanted (but not essential)
Thanks!
RE: Sports scraper - Ovokx - 2015-01-31
Great! How do you want them to be entered? New columns for home team result & away team result or only one column for the final result?
RE: Sports scraper - zag - 2015-01-31
2 new columns please
RE: Sports scraper - Ovokx - 2015-01-31
I have checked and corrected all players pending to be imported in order to keep them ready to upload
While doing this, I have found some duplicates in players DB:
Markus Rosenberg: ID 34156727 & ID 34157108
Guillermo Molins: ID 34156728 & 34157109

OK, done! Added full Liga ACB Events
RE: Sports scraper - Ovokx - 2015-02-01
Here's a list of features related to events that should be added:
- Edition: Actually we have some events duplicated (see 448834 & 443781) or without results/attendance (see same ID events) which would be great to be modified directly by the users in order to speed up the process
- Thumbs: I think that enen92 will love this in order to include it to his add-on
- Event page: A place to see/sumarise all the incoming events of any sport with an option to filter by sports and/or leagues
- Events at leagues: Display coming & past events in the same way that currently at team level, but now on league pages
- Table leagues
RE: Sports scraper - enen92 - 2015-02-01
Events at leagues are already implemented and can be grabbed from the api. Next events only, past events zag said that he would implement them soon.
Event thumbs is cool, I was thinking, if there is not a better alternative, about using a generic thumb like a race flag:
followed by the event name on the same type of dialog:
Something that I consider fundamental is the event timming (hour) that I don't know if it is available at all on the api
RE: Sports scraper - zag - 2015-02-01
OK I've done a few of those things:
- EventsPastLeague API method
- Fixed duplicate events
- Scheduled event update once a day for top Soccer leagues
- Imported NBA schedule (thx Ovokx)
- Event import now updates date of match if its changed for some reason
Match times (hour) is quite complicated as they sometimes change for TV so will have a look at that in the future.
I like the idea of event images, thats something the motorsport guys have asked for as well.
Player Date of Birth I am also working on but again is complicated with all the different date formats out there.
RE: Sports scraper - enen92 - 2015-02-01
You've a small typo error (double t) in the forum post/api tutorial:
Last 15 Events by League Id
thesportsdb.com/api/v1/json/{APIKEY}/eventspasttleague.php?id={leagueid}

Should be fixed now!
Who would have known there are 4 teams around the world called Arsenal

Yep, agreed, I have the time but I cant work out how to convert it to something useful.
This is the string I get from the API
2015-01-10T04:45:00-08:00
The date is easy but any ideas how to convert the time to something meaningful time in PHP?
