- Download from source (git clone, zipped package)
- Run from the root directory:
$ pip install .Requirements 
Nice to have
Pandas is nice to have because it'll put the data in an easy to manage object, but it is by no means necessary. All data, if pandas is not installed is returned in a nice json list format with headers!
Requests-cache is nice to have when you are downloading very large datasets so that subsequent downloads take much less time, but again, it is by no means necessary.
Completed work
- See the wiki
Planned development
1. Documentation
- All around documentation not only of nba_py but also stats.nba.com (it's pretty nonexistent)
