`nba.stats.scoreboard`: No way to get game start time
garyking opened this issue · comments
With nba.stats.scoreboard, it seems like if the game is live, then there's no way to get its start time?
try using nba.data.scoreboard, the stats namespace endpoints are old and it seems like nba.com is deprecating them.
Are there docs on nba.data.scoreboard? I can't seem to find any.
Edit: Turns out, I've been using the same endpoint as nba.data.scoreboard, but using the URL directly, rather than through this library. I originally made this thread, because that endpoint stopped working for about 24 hours yesterday.
Ah interesting. No, sorry, I don't really have the bandwidth to document the data endpoints right now. The purpose of this library is largely to find endpoints and give a simple JS API for them. I would be interested in writing an automated tool that discerned the response shape from a sample response but haven't gotten to them. However I try to put in a basic test for each endpoint (https://github.com/bttmly/nba/blob/master/test/integration/data.js). You can run that test file with mocha with a WITH_LOGS environment variable to log the response data.
The endpoint once again stopped working.
This returns File not found." right now.
It would be nice if we could find an existing endpoint that was more stable, and with the same amount of data.
I went to this page and checked Chrome's Network tab for XHR requests. That led me to this useful JSON.
