• How to get around + avoid IP ban

  I'm pretty new to webscraping. I'm using selenium python to scrape sofascore.com for live sports scores. I'm only scraping one page (/favorites) and calling find_elements() about 15 times (I had planned for it to run every 30 seconds, but it could be less often if need be). I wrote all this last night and this morning found that my IP address was banned from sofascore. I hadn't taken any precautions to prevent... Source: 9 months ago

• Group Stage Teams Ranked by Entertainment/Watchability

  Nothing too crazy here, but I took the match ratings from sofascore.com (https://www.sofascore.com/tournament/football/world/world-cup/16), and averaged out every team to see who was must-see tv and who, uh, wasn't. This is less about finding out which teams were the best and more about finding out which teams were high-event/chaotic. Source: over 1 year ago

• Red cards at the FIFA World Cup from 1974 to 2018

  I used SofaScore as my source for red cards received during the last world cup tournaments from 1974, when red cards were officially used for the first time. There is also a complete list on Wikipedia. Source: over 1 year ago

• Give It the Craigslist Test

  If you're into sports also check out https://plaintextsports.com Amazingly well done. - Source: Hacker News / 12 months ago

• FOSS Sports scores app?

  It isn't FOSS, but plaintextsports.com is extremely minimal and reliable. Source: about 1 year ago

• Text Only News Websites

  For sports, ESPN does have http://www.espn.com/nba/lite/scoreboard, but most of the links go back to the normal website. It may have been been more robust in the past, but I don't imagine anyone works on it anymore. It seems like the developer listed in the credits (http://www.espn.com/espn/lite/credits) last worked there in 2002!! So if you're looking for a sports alternative, https://plaintextsports.com (which I... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Web Push for Web Apps on iOS and iPadOS

  A personal gripe with progressive web apps: they cache the website!! A lot of people have requested that I make a progressive web app for https://plaintextsports.com. I've looked into it, but it fundamentally doesn't work, because it caches the home page. My website doesn't load any data via JavaScript; it just relies on the HTML page updating every 30 seconds, so when the home page is cached, the website just... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Yahoo Sports app suddenly only showing "recent career" when viewing a player's profile, what the hell? This is the most mildly infuriating thing ever. What app do you guys use for boxscores and player stats?

  For box scores nothing beats https://plaintextsports.com/. Source: about 1 year ago
