Here's a little contribution from myself.

I came across a "secret" URL which gives live scores from ESPN. The data was not in RSS format, so wasn't very useable.

I've gone ahead and created RSS feeds to allow people to use the info in their RSS Readers.

MLB

NFL

NBA

NHL
http://www.mpiii.com/scores/nhl.php

NCAA
http://www.mpiii.com/scores/ncaa.php

WNBA
http://www.mpiii.com/scores/wnba.php

I have also attached a zip file with the php files if you care to host them yourselves.

Anyway you can do that with MLB transactions?

I've been looking and looking for a RSS feed of MLB transactions as they are reported. I play in a pretty competitve Fantasy Baseball League so any extra help is nice.

Thanks

I guess I miss understood your initial post. I read it to mean that you somehow automated a process.

With that thinking I was hoping you could do the samething with the transaction wire.

Sorry for the misunderstanding.

hi,

here is a mortscript to get the football data directly from:
http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/bottomline/scores

screenshot included. you will need to change the 'cname' variable to the name of your ISP connection. it shows schedules as well (when there are any on that page).

enjoy!!

connect(cname)
endif

msg = "[scores]^NL^"

foreach entry in split(stream, "&nfl", 0)

setmessagefont(8,Tahoma)

This is awesome! I don't know much about feeds. Is there anyway from this to extract one of the teams and only display their content?

For example, I have built a mobile webapplet for iPhones (http://www.TNmobileFB.com) that has shedules and scores for the Titans and the Tennessee Vols. Right now, I'm manually editing the HTML after a game is over to update the score and indicate a win or loss. I have the schedule built but I wonder if there's a way to take this data and let it automatically populate the scores on my site once they're available?

Does that make sense??

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

Thanks for the coding on how to setup the NCAA feed via RSS.

I modified it for college football and really like it.

I was curious is you knew the URL for setting specific conference/division scores. For instance, the URL for http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/bottomline/scores gives the Top 25 since that is the default.

But I'd love to be able to set it up to be just a given division or conference, like FCS (formerly I-AA).

Any tips?

Thanks,
Q

I can't seem to find a clean simple WinMobile app to supply sports scores. Something like SportsTap for the iPhone. I came across this post and kind of liked the RSS idea. I have never messed around with this before. I loaded SPB Insight and have a question. I had to cut and paste the url's into SPB Insight. I did not see anywhere within SPB Insight that referenced PHP files. How do I use the attached files that MPIIIMan posted here, specifically the image files. I want the league logo's to show.

Thanks in advance for anyones help here.

Hi,

I have been working on a Status Ticker that posts to the carrier name panel on the Today screen.

Like Personalizer and Op-Mon except instead of your name I have it tickering bits of info.

The ticker should also show up in your dialer and on the incoming calls instead of the network carrier. On my phone it used to say "Sprint"

The TWG script was just the ticket.

I updated my script so it would ticker your sports scores and schedule.

Right now it checks the data every five minutes or so. I dont know how often it is updated but this checking period of course could be adjusted.

Once running if you want to stop it just run TWG-FootballStats2Kill.mscr

Let me know if you want it different.

Thanks.

You can get it over here:

    Hey all,

    Just so everyone is clear, these feeds (the direct ESPN ones) are used by their Bottom Line app, to retrieve information about all games at the same time within the one sport.

    /bottomline

    There are 11 lineups you can view from the feeds, and it can be viewed in either the original ampersand delimited view (raw), or the xml view, for each feed.

    Read through this to see the list:

    /espn/bottomline/init

    For those of you using the raw view, I pasted a C#/ASP.Net way to get the feed data into to a dictionary and display it: pastebin.com/ysi76P4p


    There are no query string filters, or commands, that I am aware of, for either set of feeds.


    Since this was made for an app, to read specific parameters (raw), and eventually specific elements (xml), wysiwyg.


    If you are going to aggregate the data / mine it on a continuous basis, I would make sure to save unknown responses / bad responses, if / when they happen.
    ex: Overtime comes up as OT, but make sure when it comes to double over time, you can handle it, as it may be 2OT, or DOT, or OT OT. (I knew, but can't remember, sry)

    Also, as this is a free way to get decently live scores, I encourage people not to spam it, but cache the results, and only get them when you know the update time will have passed; as you can see in the first parameter / element:

    &ncb_s_delay=120

    <SCORES sport="ncb">
    <DELAY>120</DELAY>


    I hope this has helped someone with their interest in these feeds.

    If you have information about other feeds, or free services involving the major sports, that you would like to share, I would be more than happy to get to know them.
