scores

Track the completion of sports games from a URL.

Usage

const Scores = require('scores');

new Scores({
  url: 'http://place-where-scores-are.com',
  interval: '5m', // or a number of ms
  timezone: 'America/New_York',
  dailyCutoff: 180, // in minutes,
  completed: { seriesCompleted: true }, // passed to _.filter to decide if an event is completed
  parse: {
    // Is used to try and guess the ending time of the event
    // In this case we are checking for college basketball where
    // there are two 20 minute halves. Eg NBA would be '12m' and 4
    finalPeriod: 2,
    periodLength: '20m' // or a number of ms
  }
})
// Will be fired on the completion of each game
.on('event', (game) => console.log(game))
// Start the watcher
.start();

How does it work?

It intermittently parses the DOM of the URL to see if any games have been completed. There is also logic for what to do in situations where there are no games that day or none of the games have started, or all the games have finished.
