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.
