Great Job #1

@prime-optimus Thanks for this wonderful api, so far i wait for this one. if possible to gave Team flag/Icon in both score and all matches api.

Thanks

prime-optimus commented 8 years ago

Hi @SkyNite, Thanks for the appreciation. And as far as your request is concerned, I wanted to keep this API data centric. Implementation specific details like Team Flag, Flag icon size etc. should ne the choice of developer designing interfaces.

However, i am keeping this ticket open for some time. If others support your cause, I'll be more than happy to incorporate this change.

Thanks again.

maxakash commented 8 years ago

Well, that would be nice if add that feature too.

shivarajp commented 8 years ago

+1 for the API @prime-optimus . Yeah, This will reduce the overhead for the developers to find flag's and icon's of teams and add it. It's a good to have feature.

What about licence? is it under apache licence right? Add licence file.

prime-optimus commented 8 years ago

Thanks for the suggestion @shivarajp .

Yes it's under Apache license. I have added the license file too.

shivarajp commented 8 years ago

Cool..

Great job on the Match API! When do you plan on releasing the player API as well?

prime-optimus commented 8 years ago

Thanks nitish29, I'm currently overwhelmed with some other projects. I'll be working on the Player API as soon as I get some time.

shivarajp commented 8 years ago

@MukeshPrasad cricinfo provides these feeds for free? What if there are we hit 1000's of hits they will block it?

That's where caching jumps in. If all the 1000 requests are concurrent will be having same data so calls to cricinfo will be only 1.

prime-optimus commented 8 years ago

That's where caching comes into the picture. Most of the requests will be served from within the cache and cricinfo will be contacted for the least amount of time, i.e. when new data is available.

shivarajp commented 8 years ago

Yeah, agreed. Any idea till how many request's/day/month cricinfo will allow for free? have you ever experienced such a scenario or have any stats? what is your view point on this? This is very important for me if I integrate this and later for some reason cricinfo blocked means gone I will loose all users.

Any help would be really helpful.

Thanks,

prime-optimus commented 8 years ago

I'm not using any standard Cricinfo API, rather I am scraping data from Cricinfo's HTML website. And I don't think(or know of) any limitations in accessing the Cricinfo site.

So while integrating this API I will not fear of any blocking by Cricinfo.

shivarajp commented 8 years ago

Hi Mukesh,

Thanks for your reply.

I think they will block your server IP if it is hitting few thousand requests everyday. Anyway nice work man.

Thanks a lot.

prime-optimus commented 8 years ago

Yeah, there is a faint possibility. I've tested it by hitting cricinfo multiple times using 200 threads. But they haven't blocked me out. I don't think we can generate more traffic to cricinfo than it already is handling.

shivarajp commented 8 years ago

Yeah, but still we have to make sure that we are not crossing the limit.

prime-optimus commented 8 years ago

Yup, sure. But only if know if there is any limit.

shivarajp commented 8 years ago

There is a limit. This happened with my frieds, we are free to use until they notice.

Yeah, but there's a risk worth taking if you don't want to use any Paid Cricket API.

shivarajp commented 8 years ago

Ha ha Exactly.

+1

ahripon107 commented 8 years ago

score is not updating since yesterday.. please check it bro..

prime-optimus commented 8 years ago

I think it is in accordance to RSS feed provided by Cricinfo. Check here.

http://static.espncricinfo.com/rss/livescores.xml

ahripon107 commented 8 years ago

Both the apis are getting 502 or 503. Think it is blocked by cricinfo.

prime-optimus commented 8 years ago

I checked them. It is working now.
