Creating a Sports Dashboard

#1

1) Give a description of the problem
My goal is to use the following website which allows free json data that can be personalized by stat type for non-commercial use - https://www.mysportsfeeds.com/
(https://www.mysportsfeeds.com/data-feeds/nba/feedlist/feedsummary?feed=game_boxscore)
to pull in live data while watching a game and show it on my tablet running action tiles/Fully Browser.

According to the instructions - https://www.mysportsfeeds.com/data-feeds/api-docs I can call use the following

  1. Pull URL - https://api.mysportsfeeds.com/v2.0/pull/nhl/{season}/games/{game}/boxscore.{format}
    It looks like I would need to specify the season, league and game. Would I be able to dynamically do this by team?

2) What is the expected behavior?
When I turn on a virtual switch it will launch Fully and display box score information on my tablet. It will update in real time, and give a jumbotron type of overview when watching sports from home.

3) What is happening/not happening?
I am basically going to SI.com and pulling up a specific team then navigating on the tablet. The issue here is the box scores are not updating (browser refresh) even though I set Fully to refresh at 500.

Personally, I think webCoRE’s dashboard is much better at displaying data than ActionTiles. Graphical updates typically happens within 8 seconds of the event, and there are so many more options as far as what you can display. (colors, icons, images, variables etc)

Just my two cents

Thanks. Either will work. I use Fully regardless. Just trying to build this out.

Just keep in mind that a website changing data can not normally be used as a trigger. Usually, a change to a json file is only seen by webCoRE when a query is made. (in your case, when Dimmer changes to on) To get an update, you’d have to turn that switch off, then back on again.

The WC dashboard seems much more complicated than AT, though.

I completely understand… It takes a bit to get familiar with the coding.
Personally, I like the complexity because it means there are practically no limits.

If you can imagine it, webCoRE can likely make it happen.

This is the page where I got some of my earlier inspirations for my Dashboard. Many of them are easy to customize to your house & location. If you pay attention to the underlying code, you will soon be making your own custom Dashboard!
