open-data

Always nice to see people doing cool stuff with our free data! If anyone else wanted to play there’s thousands of free soccer games at: https://github.com/statsbomb/open-data Part of the soccer data is us going back and collecting every Lionel Messi game, and we started doing the same for Tom Brady in American football here: https://github.com/statsbomb/amf-open-data

I am trying to load a file but it fails. I tried different URL formats: - https://github.com/statsbomb/open-data/blob/master/data/events/15956.json - https://github.com/statsbomb/open-data/raw/master/data/events/15956.json - 15956.json None of them worked. It would be good if the field already had an example filled in with the expected format, or maybe a better hint in the error message indicating why the file was not loaded. Was it my URL or another internal problem? Still, it is a very interesting demo, and just like airstrike suggested (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41096570), now that the main engine is in place, more filters would be make this even more interesting. Well done.

We (StatsBomb) make a bunch of stuff available at: https://github.com/statsbomb/open-data Interesting stuff from Metrica too: https://github.com/metrica-sports/sample-data There are other less legit sources that you may be able to work out for yourself. :)

Is anyone here active on GitHub and _not_ a vault contributor? I was pretty happy to find that my company's free football data made it in, although I'm not sure how much help that's going to be to rebuild society after the collapse: https://github.com/statsbomb/open-data

I didn't, but the good news is that data is freely available here: https://github.com/statsbomb/open-data/ Try it!

If anyone's interested in doing similar analysis, my company StatsBomb makes a lot of event data available on GitHub, including the last World Cup, lots of Champions League finals, NWSL and FAWSL etc: https://github.com/statsbomb/open-data/

This repo should grow each week, and eventually catch up to the real world in terms of NWSL data: https://github.com/statsbomb/open-data
