Will this work for the 2018 Olympics? Tried loading it up and got some errors.

@strawberry-3.141 check this out: https://sportradar.us/2017/12/2018-winter-olympics-api/

@dnks23 I’d prefer a different source, as sport radar needs an api key and is usually a paid service, not sure how much details the trial key allows access to. also the registration could take a while until the people get their keys

@strawberry-3.141 Can you tell me what the original data source you used in the module? I can’t figure it out from the MMM-OlympicGames.js file.

@dnks23 http://www.medalbot.com/api/v1/medals, it’s in the node_helper.js

+1 for updating this module!

There doesn’t seem to be an official API. Without one, a website with an up-to-date medal table would have to be called and parsed regularly. There’s at least one API that can be found by reverse engineering, but solutions like these are not really legal (often it’s against the terms of use) and thus can’t/shouldn’t be shared/adviced on a public forum. Even if you get an API, the code that parses the JSON would have to be rewritten - more or less from zero, depending on the differences.
