Getting CBB play-by-play data

**wantitall4moi** · 10-08-12, 09:13 PM

Tried CBS sports? NCAA website itself?

**Chi_archie** · 10-08-12, 09:13 PM

I do

I'm not sure if it is anything before 2010 and its just power conferences

I can't post it.

the Mods might give me an infraction

OP said "If you wanted to buy this from a primary source, who has it?"

Hard to find anything real time that's decent without paying something for it.

yeah i edited it after i read the last line.

I am sure CBSsports would work for awhile. I dont do full play by play scrapes ( no wonder he gets blocked) but 'normal' stuff n problems.

I do.

$12k.

**rm18** · 10-09-12, 01:20 AM

you can get a vpn with like 100 ips might be cheaper

**MonkeyF0cker** · 10-09-12, 01:25 AM

I've been scraping from ESPN for years and I've never been IP restricted...

You are a joke.

**jjgold** · 10-09-12, 05:26 AM

It will cost you about $800 a month through stats.com or even maybe sportsnetwork

Each university has their own site.

You can easily scrap a seasons worth of games and probably much more before getting blocked. Once your done just move onto the next one. Lot's of them use the same format, so it should not be that bad of a programming nightmare.

**jjgold** · 10-09-12, 06:34 AM

Pro Players Pay for it

Reliable and in programming format

**rsigley** · 10-09-12, 12:17 PM

since i have it set up to parse data all day fro m espn.com i took an old box i never used and for a test i just parsed every pbp on espn for cbb no ip ban

so i deleted the db and did it again no ip ban

so i deleted the db and did it again no ip ban

then i gave up. so for 4 non stop hours i pulled data from espn.com hundreds of thousands of pbp/box score and no ip ban

**jjgold** · 10-09-12, 12:21 PM

depends what frequency rate is

Every few minutes and you might be ok

every second and could have problems

LOL. Yup. I just did the same.

Only once though.

Never been IP restricted from there.

Amazon cloud computing. You are welcome.

What is scraping?

**Maverick22** · 10-09-12, 02:13 PM

To take the data from a website and store it off somewhere else. Without actually having direct access to the websites data

I see, this may be a dumb question, but what is the point if you can log onto the sites and just view it whenever?

You can make your own database and run your own analysis on it that wouldn't be possible via simply viewing it on the site.

Some may want to store the data to use later (or to analyse in real time)

Some may want to relay that info to their own site or app.

rsigley how many bets do you make a day how do you have time to make them all? what sites do you et on?

**Miz** · 10-10-12, 07:40 PM

You can use python to change what type of browser the site thinks you're using, space out your queries, goof w IPs, etc.

We've had good luck doing that.

Thanks, I got what I needed by rotating through proxies.

**roasthawg** · 10-11-12, 06:59 PM

Use a proxy.

**tony_come** · 10-11-12, 07:36 PM
