NBA-Package

Installation

This package is still heavily in development. However, should anyone wish to make use of this, they can install by running

npm install git://github.com/jrmils89/nba-package.git

Disclaimer

This module is heavily dependent on the NBA keeping these endpoints open to the public. I claim no ownership of this data or have any expectation of all these endpoints remaining open forever. This readme is also a work in progress...

Usage

This is an evolving list, but here are the current endpoints

games(date, callback)

callback

• Takes two params, err & data

date

• Date should be queried in string format yyyymmdd

And example of an express route utilizing the games endpoint:

var nba = require('nbapackage');
var express = require('express');
var router = express.Router();

router.get('/games', function(req, res) {
  nba.games('20160311', function(err, data) {
    res.json(data);
  });
});

module.exports = router;

allPlayers(callback, leagueId, season, currentSeason)

callback

• Takes two params, err & data

leagueId

• Defaults to '00' which is NBA, can also pass in '20' which is the NBA D-League

leagueId

• Expecting a season in format like '2015-16'

currentSeason

• A true or false bool which limits to only players from this season or not

And example of an express route utilizing the games endpoint:

  nba.allPlayers(function(err, data) {
    res.json(data);
  }, '00', '2015-16', true)
})

nbaPlayer(playerId, callback)

    res.json(data);
  });
});

nbadlPlayer(playerId, callback)
