NFL Score Module

I am playing around with this - but I’m also just barely qualified to write code!

I’m gutting out most the higher level functions like stats and voice support, trying to just get correct scores to display. Biggest problem so far is I can not find an easy to parse score feed. This NFL feed is perfect.

@in_a_days I’ve been having trouble finding an NBA feed as well, I’ll keep looking and let you know if I find anything

Found this today. It’s not nearly as elegant as the NFL xml file, but it should technically be parsable.

So it’s been over 15 years since I’ve done much coding. My background is in C++ and I ran a few Python tutorials when I first got my Pi.

I’m writing a parser for this NBA score feed and it just occurred to me that I don’t know how to integrate a python script into Magic Mirror. I’ve made some good progress, but is there any sense continuing? Will I be able to easily port this to JS or will Magic Mirror know what to do with the .py file, or am I going to need to start over?

@in_a_days check out this python shell module https://github.com/paviro/MMM-Facial-Recognition/blob/master/node_helper.js#L11

I’ve completed an ugly parser for this NBA data. I have a python program that stores and prints a list of home teams, away teams, scores, and event times. Can anybody help me with passing these variables into the existing NFL module framework?

@in_a_days I suggest to move this into the development section and a new thread for nba

Help: you can run the python script in from inside the node_helper and read the output, then send the data to your module with a socket notification

Thank you again for the help. I’ve opened a new thread here:

Is anyone having a problem getting the Preseason 2018 to display? If I reboot my MM, it will say, Preseason 2018, but the final week of the 2017 regular season will display. Any suggestions?
