Special thanks to Baseball Reference, which has a de-facto API that makes this possible. This is essentially a MUD based on the boxscores for Baseball Reference.
Follow the command prompt guide for the download.bat script like so:
**************************************
Select an Option Below:
1:Get yesterday's scores
2:Get tomorrow's scores (coming soon)
3:Get scores for a particular date
4:Exit
**************************************
For option 3, this can be entered like so:
Enter in Year
2001
Enter in Month
4
Enter in Day
1
Which will result in:
Scores for 200141:
Date Apr 01 2001
with a gamelist for all games played. If there were no games played for that day, it will report:
GameList: 0
No Games Were or Have Yet Been Played on This Date
To get the games/scores for a day in JSON format, change the do_export_json variable to True in the download.py file.
Game results will be written to disk after the program finishes parsing game information for a particular date.
