[Bug Fix] Load Scores no longer working (fix inside) #45
Comments

I tried this out but didn't work for all the games. Week 1 - just the CLE v BAL game worked. Week 2 - CIN v CLE game only. |

Yeah, it didn't work for past weeks, only the current one. There was also a problem with the Washington abbreviation. These have both been fixed in this version: |

This last version worked perfectly.
Thanks!

Question for @jstackman if you may be able to help here... So there was code that was able to get scores auto from nfl, but since that's not available, is the fix somehow able to use in a cron job like this to pull in automatically? |

The NFL now requires an API key to access their data so the "Load Scores" button no longer works in the admin panel. I found a free feed from ESPN that I am using now. I have only tested this on the Chiefs and Texans game so far, so there could be some issues with it still. Specifically, I am not sure how the feed shows overtime, so I made a guess. I also don't know if all the team abbreviations will match up.
All you need to do is update the getHtmlScores.php file:
