Qfyilyi

I am hoping for the following info:

1) NHL Team Names

2) Betting Odds

Here is the site: https://www.bovada.lv/services/sports/event/v2/events/A/description/hockey/nhl.

Here is my code so far:

import requests



source = requests.get("https://www.bovada.lv/services/sports/event/v2/events/A/description/hockey/nhl").json()   



data = source[0]    



for game in data['events'][2].items():

    print(game)

The code above only prints the data for one game. I was hoping for all of the games. Is there an easy way to loop through all of them? I am also not sure how to parse out the info I am looking for.

• Team Names

I noticed the team names are located in the section titled 'competitors':

competitors":[{"id":"3596982-510","name":"Philadelphia Flyers","home":true},{"id":"3596982-376","name":"New York Rangers","home":false}]

In the example above the info I am looking for is Philadelphia Flyers and New York Rangers, respectively.

• Odds

(Note: the odds change so the numbers you see may be different)

I also noticed the spread with odds is located in the section titled 'display groups':

"displayGroups":[{"id":"100-128","description":"Game Lines","defaultType":true,"alternateType":false,"markets":[{"id":"57349611","description":"Total","key":"2W-OU","marketTypeId":"120743","status":"O","singleOnly":false,"notes":"","period":{"id":"1191","description":"Match","abbreviation":"M","live":false,"main":true},"outcomes":[{"id":"294606239","description":"Over","status":"O","type":"O","price":{"id":"1836755921","handicap":"6.5","american":"EVEN","decimal":"2.00","fractional":"1/1","malay":"1.00","indonesian":"1.00","hongkong":"1.00"}},{"id":"294606240","description":"Under","status":"O","type":"U","price":{"id":"1836755922","handicap":"6.5","american":"-125","decimal":"1.800","fractional":"4/5","malay":"0.80","indonesian":"-1.25","hongkong":"0.80"}}]},{"id":"57349614","description":"Moneyline","key":"2W-12","marketTypeId":"372","status":"O","singleOnly":false,"notes":"","period":{"id":"1191","description":"Match","abbreviation":"M","live":false,"main":true},"outcomes":[{"id":"294606235","description":"New York Rangers","status":"O","type":"A","competitorId":"3596982-376","price":{"id":"1836569815","american":"+125","decimal":"2.250","fractional":"5/4","malay":"-0.80","indonesian":"1.25","hongkong":"1.25"}},{"id":"294606236","description":"Philadelphia Flyers","status":"O","type":"H","competitorId":"3596982-510","price":{"id":"1836569814","american":"-155","decimal":"1.645161","fractional":"20/31","malay":"0.65","indonesian":"-1.55","hongkong":"0.65"}}]},{"id":"57349618","description":"Puck Line","key":"2W-HCAP","marketTypeId":"120744","status":"O","singleOnly":false,"notes":"","period":{"id":"1191","description":"Match","abbreviation":"M","live":false,"main":true},"outcomes":[{"id":"294606248","description":"New York Rangers","status":"O","type":"A","competitorId":"3596982-376","price":{"id":"1836755920","handicap":"1.5","american":"-210","decimal":"1.47619","fractional":"10/21","malay":"0.48","indonesian":"-2.10","hongkong":"0.48"}},{"id":"294606249","description":"Philadelphia Flyers","status":"O","type":"H","competitorId":"3596982-510","price":{"id":"1836569799","handicap":"-1.5","american":"+175"

In the example above the info I am looking for is 1.5 and -210 (for the New York Rangers), and -1.5 and +175 (for the Philadelphia Flyers).

Here is an example of the data I would like for one game:

                            Spread       Win         Total

New York Rangers        +1.5 (-230)     +130     O 6.0 (-105)

Philadelphia Flyers     -1.5 (+190)     -150     O 6.0 (-115)

I would like the same info for all of the games if possible.

I am new to scraping and have no prior experience coding. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your time and efforts!

• Update:

Here is the URL: https://www.bovada.lv/sports/hockey

I am looking for the bet line info:

To get team name pairs try below:

import requests



source = requests.get("https://www.bovada.lv/services/sports/event/v2/events/A/description/hockey/nhl").json()   



data = source[0] 

for game in data:

    for team in data['events']:

        try:

            team_1 = team['competitors'][0]['name']

            team_2 = team['competitors'][1]['name']

            try: odd_1_1 = team['displayGroups'][0]['markets'][0]['outcomes'][0]['price']['handicap'] 

            except KeyError: odd_1_1 = None

            try: odd_1_2 = team['displayGroups'][0]['markets'][0]['outcomes'][0]['price']['american'] 

            except KeyError: odd_1_2 = None

            try: odd_2_1 = team['displayGroups'][0]['markets'][0]['outcomes'][1]['price']['handicap'] 

            except KeyError: odd_2_1 = None

            try: odd_2_2 = team['displayGroups'][0]['markets'][0]['outcomes'][1]['price']['american'] 

            except KeyError: odd_2_2 = None

            print("{0} ({2}, {3}) vs {1} ({4}, {5})".format(team_1,team_2, odd_1_1, odd_1_2, odd_2_1, odd_2_2))

        except IndexError:

            pass

Output:

Philadelphia Flyers (6.0, -115) vs New York Rangers (6.0, -105)

Washington Capitals (1.5, -150) vs Detroit Red Wings (-1.5, +125)

Anaheim Ducks (5.5, -110) vs Edmonton Oilers (5.5, -110)

...

Note that in some entries competitors key has no value, so I used try/except to handle this case...

This is a JSON formatted data, so use the python json module

import json

json.loads('["foo", {"bar":["baz", null, 1.0, 2]}]')

>>> ['foo', {'bar': ['baz', None, 1.0, 2]}]

You can use the debugger to observe the datastructure, the loads(str) function will return. It will be a dict in your case. Then navigate in the lists and dictionaries.
