ff-scraper

A super simple webscraper for fantasy statistics from a certain popular football stats website. Technically, any site that has a <table> of stats, with a <tr> that has <th> that define the header values and subsequent <tr> with <td> that define statistics for those header values for a row will be parseable.

A sample invocation of the project would be:

python . ./inputs.txt

Which will write .csv files to the current directory for each input row.

Input file

A sample input file is given at ./inputs.sample.txt. Each line in the input file should have 3 comma separated values. The first, is the name you want the output .csv file to have. As an example, you might want 2019qb or 2020wrt. The second value should be the url to fetch the HTML data from. The final argument is the id of the table element where the data can be found. An example might be rushing or passing.
