Okay, so today I decided to mess around with a project involving the Raptors and the Knicks. It wasn’t anything super serious, just wanted to see if I could pull some data and maybe do something cool with it.
Getting Started
First things first, I needed to figure out where to get my data. I mean, you can’t really do a project about basketball teams without, you know, basketball data. I poked around a bit and eventually found some decent APIs that seemed to have what I needed – game scores, player stats, that kind of stuff. Nothing too fancy, but enough to get me going.
Wrangling the Data
Once I had a source, I started playing with it. I used some simple scripts to pull the data. The initial results? A total mess, to be honest. It took some work to clean it up, sort through it, and basically make it usable. I spent a good chunk of time just organizing everything, getting it into a format that I could actually work with.
- I fetched to get all data.
- I organized data to array.
- I removed some invaild data
Putting it Together
With the data all nice and tidy, I started thinking about what I could actually do with it. I experimented with a few different ideas, trying to find something that was both interesting and, you know, actually worked. Finally,I got it!
The Result
After all that tinkering, I had all data what I want!I show my data to my friend,he said it’s intersting. I’m pretty happy. It’s not going to win any awards, but it was a fun little exercise, and I learned a few things along the way.
