Get driver ratings from the iRacing page #45

Open HappyNiel opened 5 years ago

As a user and administrator, I want the ratings of a driver to be updated automatically.

Possible solution 1 Use scraping to fetch data from the iRacing website (periodically) https://codeburst.io/a-guide-to-automating-scraping-the-web-with-javascript-chrome-puppeteer-node-js-b18efb9e9921

With the help of Google Functions, it might be possible to automate this process.

Possible solution 2 Ask Sascha to help/build a small script to get the required driver license and iRating data from the driver profile page.

We can use Google Cloud Functions to call this script whenever needed.
