This is a webscraping program that will return the upcoming game schedule, as well as live and finished scores, for (basically) any football league in the world, straight to your terminal
Some notes if you download the program to run on your computer:
-
You will need to install Beautiful Soup and Requests if not already installed:
pip install beautifulsoup4pip install requests -
The website being scraped only shows fixtures +/- 14 days from the current date. So, if you're trying to view fixtures a month away, nothing will be returned.
-
There is a list titled leagues on line 169. Fill this list in with all of the leagues that you want to include in your version of the program.
For me, as an example, leagues looks like = ["English Premier League", "Spanish La Liga", 'Italian Serie A", "French Ligue 1", "German Bundesliga", "Champions League"].
Check League_Names.py to see all available leagues to choose from.
