Data extraction of fantasy premier league

#FPL

A tool to extract data from Fantasy Premier League.

Installation

The first step is to setup a database:

1. Create an empty database named 'fpl'.
2. Run sql/fpl_s016_12_20.sql inside the 'fpl' database. This will generate the schema for you such that the data can later be saved.

To extract the Fantasy Premier League data:

1. git clone https://github.com/adhorrig/fpl.git to download the tools for extraction.
2. cd fpl to move into the directory.
3. npm install to download the project dependencies from the node package manager.

Running

1. Open config.js and enter your database connection details.

2. Enter integer values for options.

   a. liveweeks is how many gameweeks of live player data you want.

   b. profiles is the number of profiles you want to download.

   c. gameweeks is the number of gameweek data that you want to download.

3. Run node live.js, players.js, profiles.js, teams.js, gameweeks.js to extract and save the data.

##The data.

The FPL API returns a lot more data than what is being saved here. I only saved what I needed for my project. Feel free to modify the SQL schema and add more to the parsed JSON to reflect the changes.
