I am currently playing around with NBA API, and I want to be able to look at parts of games(score, period, etc.) that happened on a specified date. I want the output of what "https://data.nba.net/prod/v1/today.json" would return on any day during the NBA season, but I need to be able to choose the date, as the request no longer returns anything now that the season is over.
from requests import get
from pprint import PrettyPrinter
BASE_URL = "https://data.nba.net"
ALL_JSON = "/prod/v1/today.json"
printer = PrettyPrinter()
def get_links():
data = get(BASE_URL + ALL_JSON).json()
links = data['links']
return links
def get_scoreboard():
scoreboard = get_links()['currentScoreboard']
games = get(BASE_URL + scoreboard).json()['games']
for game in games:
home_team = game['hTeam']
away_team = game['vTeam']
clock = game['clock']
period = game['period']
print("------------------------------------")
print(f"{home_team} vs {away_team}, {clock}, {period}")
break
get_scoreboard()
This is what I currently have, but nothing is printed as there isn't any games going on.
