Python cli to retrieve football (soccer) data
Pyscores is a command line based python program to get football fixtures, results and standings.
This is a work in progress. It was inspired by another trending repo I saw on github. I wanted to see if I could do my own implementation of it, as a learning exercise.
Tested in Python 2.7 and >=3.3
To use this you will need an api key from api.football-data.org. Without this the program will still work but will be limited to 50 requests per day.
Once you have your key, you must set an environment variable called PYSCORES_KEY so the program can use it.
To install (with pip):
pip install pyscores
To Verify installation:
