XML Feeds for Box Score

[pro-style]

Are there any good sites where I can get a nice XML feed for box scores? I'd rather not scrape a site like espn/yahoo if there is a site that is free and does this.

took me 30 mins to write scripts to scrape data...pretty easy.

Any chance you could show one example how this is done? Can this be done without knowing a programming language?

here's a script i wrote a couple years ago in php. dunno if it still works as i switch everything to python but maybe it will help.

it needs this to work http://simplehtmldom.sourceforge.net/

to get the gameIDs i had them all stored in a database using a script similar to this (which id unno if it still works either)

if it doesn't here's just a csv you could dump into whatever

rsigley,

That does not look easy. But thanks a lot for that info! Looking at that first link made me a bit dizzy I was kind of hoping there will only be a few rows of code. Think I give up my plans on learning python. Thanks again for your examples!

Why can't I give points to rsigley?

[rsigley]

oh that's php it's mostly just a lot of lines because i separated out each part of the box score to its own line bc i didn't really know how to code back then so everything was inefficient. i'll update it with some comments if it helps people out
