YahooNba
This gem uses the YAHOO Sports API to retrieve stats for NBA players
Installation
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'yahoo_nba'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install yahoo_nba
Usage
This gem assists in retrieving player keys and player stats using the Yahoo Sports API.
require 'yahoo_nba'
query = YahooNba::Query.new 'your_consumer_key', 'your_consumer_secret'
(to obtain a key, go to http://developer.yahoo.com/)
To get a hash with all the player keys:
player_keys_hash = query.get_all_player_keys_hash
The hash will be in the format:
{"Player Name"=>"key123", "Player2 Name"=> "key234"}
To get nba player stats:
query.get_players_stats_hash_using(player_keys_hash)
To get an invidual player's stats:
query.get_player_stats_hash_with_player_name("LeBron James")
The hash will be in the format returned by the Yahoo Sports API.
Note: There will be a request to the Yahoo API for each player so it will take a while to get the stats for all the players.
