nba_rb

nba_rb is a Ruby wrapper for the stats.nba.com API. It supports most endpoints (feel free to open an issue if something is missing!) and provides helper methods to extract certain information from the responses.

There's three main modules: NbaRb::Game, NbaRb::Team, NbaRb::Player. Each of them contains classes related to endpoints for that scope. You can find some examples in the spec folder, I plan to write some more docs in the future (Happy to see PRs for this!).

Here's a couple more examples:

# Getting the Boxscore for one of today's games
todays_schedule = NbaRb::Game::TodaySchedule.new
todays_first_game_id = todays_schedule.matchup_teams_info[0]['GAME_ID'] # Get the Game ID of the first game
game_boxscore = NbaRb::Game::Boxscore.new(game_id: todays_first_game_id)

# Find Suns stats from a game they played 5 days ago
5_days_ago_schedule = NbaRb::Game::TodaySchedule.new(game_date: Date.today - 5)
game =  todays_schedule.matchup_teams_info.select { |data| data['TEAM_ABBREVIATION'] == 'PHX' }.first
game_boxscore = NbaRb::Game::Boxscore.new(game_id: game['GAME_ID'])
game_stats = game_boxscore.line_score.select { |data| data['TEAM_ABBREVIATION'] == 'PHX' }.first
puts "The #{game_stats['TEAM_CITY']} #{game_stats['TEAM_NAME']} scored #{game_stats['PTS']} points on #{game_stats['FGM']}/#{game_stats['FGA']} shooting"
