This repository utilizes the SeatGeek API interface to scrape tickets and ticket statistics for the home team of MLB games.
Ticket Prices is a file which contains a function get_tickets
get_tickets arguments:
home_team_name: str- The home team
- e.g. 'philadelphia-phillies'
start_date: str- e.g. '2024-03-31'
end_date: str- e.g. '2024-09-15'
When the script is run, the file by default is set to scrape ticket prices for the Philadelphia Phillies because I'm interested in their home game ticket prices.
When the script runs it does not output a dataframe, but creates a csv file containing the scraped ticket information for the home team.
