NFL Score Module

cowboysdude

@cowboysdude Hey again, I believe Im reading this right, so the 2017 is normal for now (module doesnt track preseason) and when the regular season starts we will start seeing the 2018 games/scores? No need to update any links or anything? Thanks!

Yes sir that’s exactly what will happen :)

@achilles
Same here. I was hoping it would update but no go. I look at the url that it goes out to check and it appears that NFL.com isn’t updating it. I’m wondering if developer of this module may need to do some tweeking or instructions so we as users can.

There are several options (good and bad ones), but I’m busy. Therefore I will wait at least until this weekend, before I take an action here. Getting a new api most of the times also means rewriting most of the module which is time intensive. Maybe there are also volunteers.

According to Stackoverflow the xml service is discontinued and is now using JSON for the 2018 season. Here’s the JSON file http://www.nfl.com/liveupdate/scores/scores.json

Just noticed that someone replied with an AJAX version that appeared to have the same output as the XML file. I plugged it in to the node_helper.js file and it works!

Here’s the AJAX version http://www.nfl.com/ajax/scorestrip?season=2018&seasonType=REG&week=1

Could you explain how you 'plugged it into the node_helper.js file?
I would greatly appreciate it!

TIA!!!

@gama the problem with this link is, that you need to change it every week. In order to work automatically you need to create a logic to change the week and seasontype and year automatically.

I previously tried to create a logic just to determine if it is regular or post season and the mirrors of the peaople started going crazy flickering regular and post season.
