Use

First, import the package:

import statsapi

Then call the applicable function, such as schedule:

sched = statsapi.schedule(start_date='07/01/2018',end_date='07/31/2018',team=143,opponent=121)

Logging

The MLB-StatsAPI module utilizes Python's standard Logging module, with the logger name statsapi. Set the appropriate log level and attach a log handler to the statsapi logger in order to see the logs. For example:

import logging
logger = logging.getLogger('statsapi')
logger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
rootLogger = logging.getLogger()
rootLogger.setLevel(logging.DEBUG)
ch = logging.StreamHandler()
formatter = logging.Formatter("%(asctime)s - %(levelname)8s - %(name)s(%(thread)s) - %(message)s")
ch.setFormatter(formatter)
rootLogger.addHandler(ch)
