Special Note 11/21/2019:
Code is taking shape. Took a while to learn how to ingest the schedule data, but that is now accomplished. Should start to pick up steam from here.
Summary:
Python code used to pull data related to NCAA college basketball teams.
Vision:
I'm building this project on a raspberry pi (4B) with the vision of having the device left on permanently and using crontab jobs to notify me of college basketball events that I am interested in (such as forward and retrospective schedule or game results information for selected teams).
I am initially building in some customizability via a config.ini file (read further for more info), including the customizability of outgoing email server for notifications.
In the longer run, I would like for this to be similar to the cfb-data repo that I currently have. I'd also like to implement a database to handle record storage and processing. However, my preference for a db is MySQL via Workbench, which is currently unavailable for my OS (Raspbian Stretch).
Cloning / Installation:
When cloning this repo, ensure you rename config_template.ini to config.ini and populate the values as described in the comments in that file. The code will not function without the necessary values.
Packages / Requirements:
This repo is built to minimize specialty package requirements. If I've been successful, the code will not require any special package installations. The following packages are used, but were pre-installed with my python 3.7 installation on Raspbian Stretch:
This project gratefully leverages the following other projects:
- Schedule and Ranking data
- Developer of that API can be found at: www.github.com/roclark
