APBRmetrics

For future reference, I figured this out. Querying that API for short time ranges (e.g. less than a minute) is not reliable. So in the end, I just query the boxscore for each entire quarter and based on that, I know which players as the floor for a given quarter. Given that information and the play-...

Thanks for the response. I understand what you are saying by looking at player events. However, how would I determine which player he subbed in for? I was hoping to do some lineup analysis as well as per minute numbers for players. Here is the post I was referencing: "Most of the time it's eas...

So I've got the first try at adding highlights up. Let me know what you think.

Just wanted to say that Recappd is back for the 2015-2016 season. I haven't really worked on it in about a year, but have some time now, so looking to integrate some new features (gif highlights, maybe?).

Very cool, I like this a lot for a quick boxscore, especially the color codes, great work! I may post this over on RealGM to show some people. Thanks! I'm on RealGM too (former Raptors forum mod). Last night's Bulls-GSW game is the perfect example of why I made this site. Woke up to see the game we...

The badges remind me of winning trophies in a sports video game. Totally! Like achievements on Xbox. It's weird to say that I'm kind of game-ifying a game. For the programmers in the crowd, the design of the badges comes from StackOverflow.com. Gotta admit I kinda like it. Box scores made more fun ...

After reviewing the post on Reddit today, we have found that changes were made manually to Chad Ford’s NBA Draft prospects rankings. We have not been able to determine who made the changes, or when. We have talked to Chad Ford, who strongly denies any involvement, and based on his past work and pro...

If this is indeed true, it makes absolutely no sense to me. What a high risk, ultra-low reward maneuver. And I can't imagine Chad was the only one aware of it. The whole premise of the operation would imply that people rely on Chad due to his mock draft "accuracy", but I don't think that c...

what are you using to calculate who the "stars" of the game are? The foundation is the Hollinger game score, which I feel does a pretty good job. I take that and then add and subtract for different achievements. For example, hitting the game-winning shot provides a sizable boost to your g...

I like it! If you make it real-time, maybe it'll be my go to site for checking scores. :) Thanks! It's set up to work that way, but I don't have faith in the $5/month 512MB VM to handle that load (not sure what that says about my code...). It's definitely on the roadmap. If you want we have a lot o...

Ah. Do you work-around the last name issue, or does it not matter for your purposes?

Very interesting project. I will definitely follow closely and am tempted to throw my hat in for developer support, but not sure if I have the time for it. What's your tech-stack looking like? Thanks for the interest. DB is MySQL, JSON parser is done in PHP. What's your scraping source? I'm using S...

Did you have a specific use in mind when you started or are you experimenting and will decide later? Unless...

cool stuff fyi, the header link is broken if you go to a box score page (you're using "../" as the link which only works if you're 1 dire ctory down from the base) i.e. click on "Recapp'd" on http://recappd.com/games/2015/1/22/UTA-MIL You're right - thanks for pointing that out....
