NBA Chatbot for Telegram to provide information for players, teams and the league.

Rewriting functions using nba_api

The previous APIs I was using were built from looking at websites using BeautifulSoup / Selenium. This often led to crashes and unstable behavior not producing the results I wanted.

After finding nba-api, I am working on porting over functionality using these APIs.

Legacy code will remain in the "old" folder.

Features:

1. /playerstats player

Returns the specified player's stats for the current season from the PlayerDashboardByYearOverYear

2. /careerstats player

Returns the career stats for the selected player.

3. /games (Pending Porting Over)

Returns today's NBA games with live scores (if applicable) with links to game box scores from nba.com using Selenium.

4. /standings east/west

Returns the standings for the specified conference from LeagueStandings endpoint. Returns standings from both conferences if argument not specified.

5. /teamstats team_name

Returns general statistics for the specified team taken from TeamDashboardByYearOverYear endpoint.

Upcoming Features:

• /teamstats - Overview for a team with record, upcoming matches, injury reports and stat leaders
• [] Added functionality to playerstats with in-line buttons to present active seasons for a selected player
• [] Rewriting game command using nba_api endpoints
