BookieSports Module Contents

class bookiesports.BookieSports(chain=None, override_cache=False, **kwargs)

Bases: dict

This class allows to read the data provided by BookieSports

On instantiation of this class the following procedure happens internally:

1. Open the directory that stores the sports

2. Load all Sports

3. For each sport, load the corresponding data subset (event groups, events, rules, participants, etc.)

4. Validate each data subset

5. Perform consistency checks

6. Instantiate a dictionary (self)

As a result, the following call will return a dictionary with all the BookieSports:

from bookiesports 
import BookieSports x = BookieSports()

Parameters:

chain (string) – One out ‘alice’, ‘beatrice’, or ‘charlie’ to identify which network we are working with. Can also be a relative path to a locally stored copy of a sports folder override_cache (string) – if true, cache is ignored and sports folder is forcibly reloaded and put into cache network (string) – deprecated, please use chain

Note: It is possible to overload a custom sports_folder by providing it to BookieSports as parameter.
