sportsref

easily pull stats from sports-reference web sites

sportsref is designed to be used in an interactive python environment, such as IPython or JupyterNotebook

The api tries to mirror the web experience:

• each subject area (i.e. player, season, league) is represented by an class.
• each class has methods representing the pages available.
  • for example Ozzie Albies player page has the following menu of pages
  • if the menu is a dropdown, the method takes an additional parameter or two
• the methods return a Page object which know about all the tables on that page
• use the Page.get_df("table_name") to get a pandas.DataFrame of the table you want.

The examples.ipynb JupyterNotebook has a few examples demonstrating a workflow.
