NFL API -- Anyone Use It?

#1

Hi All,

I was just wondering if anyone uses or has built any pistons around the NFL API. For the last few years I’ve been using AppleScript to read the NFL JSON feed and trigger my Hue Lights when certain teams score and I’m always looking for ways to simplify things.

A search through the boards doesn’t show much discussion on it, so I was curious if anyone uses it all.

I don’t believe it’s live feed. If I remember correctly it is populated after games are played

Ah, that makes sense. Bummer, but thanks for the info.
NFL made a change to the ScoreStrip feed I was using and I spent the good of the evening yesterday rewriting my stuff to parse that file. I’m lazy and was hoping I could just have someone else do the work for me lol.

FWIW the webCoRE NFL API uses a python module, nflgame. Live data is available in that module but is not exposed through webCoRE.

Nope!
