vigorish

vigorish is a hybrid Python/Node.js application that scrapes MLB data from mlb.com, brooksbaseball.net and baseball-reference.com.

My goal is to capture as much data as possible — ranging from PitchFX measurements at the most granular level to play-by-play data (play descriptions, substitutions, manager challenges, etc) and individual player pitch/bat stats at the highest level.

Requirements

• Python 3.6+
• Node.js 10+ (Tested with Node.js 11-13)
• Xvfb
• AWS account (optional but recommended, used to store scraped data in S3)
