NCAA Womens Hockey Stats

A program to scrape NCAA stats.

How it works:

Run npm run start TEAM_NAME YEARS_RANGE.

under the hood, this runs:

• phantomjs scrape-ncaa.js >> logs/log-file.txt

ie.

npm run start '' '2001-2017'

• Passing empty string to scrape will default to using the teams array (ncaa-teamnames.js).

Use Specific Team or Date Range

npm run start 'ohio-state' '2010-2015'

Above is useful when errors occur.

Logs

Success and Errors will be captured in logs/log-file.txt (see package.json to change dir / filename)

Notes

• TEAM_NAME is a string variable passed as first arg via command line.
• npm run scrape is an alias for: phantomjs scrape-ncaa.js

so ensure phantomjs is installed!

Output

Create a TSV in folder output_data with format:

• var output_path = 'output_data/'+team+'-'+year+'.tsv';

TODO:

• going back to 2000-2001 season, extract 1 csv for each season with all possible teams
