i wrote a program in python that downloads soccer games for any league you want, for any year you want, getting game statistics, score, and betting lines. i dont feel like modeling on this stuff anymore. am i allowed to share this for free on here?

Does it offer anything more than what is offered here: http://www.football-data.co.uk/ ?

HUY this scraping program is pretty similar to that. Of course mine puts it into a real DB which is easier to do powerful manipulation on than excel or a textfile but besides that pretty similar.

By all means, would be interested to see it.

Then we can just use the data at football-data and move them into a database if we so wish.

Would love to see it!

Or we can use 339955's program without messing with the football-data site.

Let's see it 339955.

i dunno HUY is probably right. to run my program you would need to install python 2.7 and a couple of python 2.7 libraries like BeautifulSoup which would take some time.

heh make it on request at least, share via private messages don't make this stuff publicly accessible. For God's sake think about others

**339955** · 03-19-13, 10:01 AM

i dont understand what would you want to do with this program bester tuff?

**_bester_tuff** · 03-19-13, 10:12 AM

I don't need your program. I just don't like the idea of giving fish instead of fishing rod. There's a sticked thread on research, everyone can follow steps and learn how to program such scripts on his own.

**Bostongambler** · 03-19-13, 10:55 AM

So all this was for not then?

**Borat38** · 03-25-13, 01:14 PM

So where's the download link?

He posted his script for doing this on another website, I've included it below.

Code:
