A python script to parse the api for prizepicks.com and output current lines as a csv for each category in a given league.
This script is written in Python 3.9 and developed using a pipenv virtual environment. Check this out for more information on pipenv. For other virtual environment setup, a requirements.txt file is included.
To use locally, clone this repo and follow the usage instructions below.
To generate individual csvs of player lines for the various stats in a given league, run python scripts/scraper.py {{sport}}, or, if using pipenv, pipenv run python scripts/scraper.py {{sport}}, where {{sport}} is one of the supported leagues/sports provided by PrizePicks (see below). CSV files will be generated in the output folder.
Example:
python scripts/scraper.py NFL
Currently supported sports include:
- NFL
- NFL1H
- MLB
- MLBLive
- Soccer
- NBASZN
- PGA
- Tennis
- CFB
- NHLSZN
- Additional sports/leagues as they become available
- Ability to supply a second optional argument corresponding to a PrizePicks category (passing yards, touchdowns, total bases, etc) to generate csvs solely for that category
I have no affiliation with PrizePicks whatsoever. This script was just a way for me to more easily analyze PrizePicks player lines for personal use.
