Paid on delivery
I would like a computer program that takes a range of dates (e.g. 12-01-2009 - 1-21-2010) at the command line and returns stats for every college basketball game played on those dates. The program should obtain these stats via the ESPN website. For any given date, you can see the list of all basketball games on ESPN website by going here (using 12/19/2011 as an example) ... [login to view URL] The program should determine what games were played based on that link, then by following the "Boxscore" links, get the data for each game For each game played, the program should return one line of text separated by commas with the following fields, in this order: Date (YYYYMMDD) Away team (no punctuation) Home team (no punctuation) City of Game (no punctuation) State of Game (2 letter abbreviation) Away 1H score Home 1H score Away 2H score Home 2H score Away final score Home final score Number of overtimes Away score in all overtimes Home score in all overtimes Away FGM Away FGA Home FGM Home FGA Away 3PM Away 3PA Home 3PM Home 3PA Away FTM Away FTA Home FTM Home FTA Away OREB Away REB Home OREB Home REB Away AST Home AST Away STL Home STL Away BLK Home BLK Away TO Home TO Away PF Home PF Officials (list all 3 no punctuation or leave blank if officials not listed) Please make sure the program correctly counts the number of overtime periods. Here are some example games and an example of the line that should be returned for them. EXAMPLE 1 [login to view URL] 20111225,Clemson,Hawaii,Honolulu,HI,34,31,34,44,68,75,0,0,0,26,64,26,53,8,16,7,15,8,12,16,19,12,26,7,34,13,17,4,6,6,2,7,11,19,13,JonStigliano,MikeThibodeaux,ChrisBeaver EXAMPLE 2 [login to view URL] 20101204,OklahomaState,LaSalle,Philadelphia,PA,25,33,42,34,2,25,20,36,81,32,79,7,20,8,21,13,22,15,22,17,48,13,44,20,22,12,5,2,6,18,20,24,17,, The program should be able to deal with all ESPN college basketball boxscores going back to November 2008. Don't hesitate to ask questions if anything is unclear. The program should also have an option of pausing X seconds between getting data for each game. For example "[login to view URL] 01-08-2009 02-03-2009 10" should get every game between 1-8-2009 and 2-3-2009 and wait 10 seconds between each game.
