4 years ago Hi, I maintain the betfairlightweight package so have a keen interest in live sports data, I have been following for a while and posted a few of your posts on our slack group (which you are welcome to join)
A recent advancement in tracking has been added to horse racing via TPD. I currently focus on the modelling during the live updates of this data but could see it lending itself to the inclusion in kloppy especially the searching functionality!
Happy to contribute and put you in contact with the devs at TPD as they have expressed an interest in being more involved in open source 😄
Kloppy started as a library for handling soccer event and tracking in a standardized way. There are many providers for just this data.
With the release of klopp-queue we introduced a algorithm agnostic way of searching for interesting event patterns. The expectation is this will grow to also operate on tracking data and combinations of event and tracking data.
This framework can be applied to event and tracking data for all kind of sports.
In this ticket I would like to collect information about other sports that can benefit from the framework, see what data is available and possible changed required to support the sport.
