NFLfan is a web application that provides a user interface for searching NFL data (back to 2009), collecting all of your fantasy teams into one place for live scoring updates and watching video of any play available on your system.
These features are a culmination of the following projects:
nflgame
in a relational PostgreSQL database. This provides a convenient and
programmatic querying interface and also meets the performance requirements
for a simple web application.This README is pretty sparse at the moment. It will be fleshed out a bit more before the season starts.
Coming soon. (This will be a video since I cannot provide a public web service that distributed NFL broadcast footage.)
I will also provide a real demo that lacks NFL broadcast footage.
nflfan
can be installed with pip
:
pip install nflfan
Note that nflfan
requires a running instance of nfldb
. Since this means
setting up and importing a PostgreSQL database, we have some installation
instructions here.
Once nflfan
is installed, you'll want to configure it. Here is a sample
config
file with
documentation. (Configuration will need to be fleshed out more.)
After nflfan
is installed, a script called nflfan-update
will be available.
This should update you fantasy rosters as configured in config.toml
.
This script looks pretty broken right now. I will fix it shortly before the regular season starts.
Including all of the other nfl*
projects, the following tech is used:
wsgiref
development server is quite
suitable.)nflfan.web
module,
but it needs some love and documentation. (I am skeptical that a full REST
interface is warranted.)I'm not much of a frontend guy, so the Javascript is a bit of a mess and undocumented. However, considering the power of the UI, I think there is surprisingly little of it. (Kudos to Knockout for that one, I think.)
