Will update with more information as I find more...
Just going to leave a few of my projects here if it's alright. Other than my football sites (Football Pool and Squares), most every thing I build is to replace the various home pages (Yahoo, MSN, Bing) that I've used throughout the years. Thanks to the ESPN API (And The National Weather Service API), I can pretty much do that. I've built a lot web pages (I guess they call them apps now) that use that datas:
Live games for multiple sports
https://bigearthweb.net/sports/sports-live/
Standings for multiple sports:
https://bigearthweb.net/sports/standings/
And my latest, one I've always wanted to do but never got around to, a live visual representation of a football game (NFL & NCAA):
https://bigearthweb.net/sports/football_field/
I also have multiple ways of extracting data to JSON or SQL (All PHP) if you want to store it locally (One is included in the sports-live archive. JSON only. Schedule and all dates. The JSON-Leagues archives are those files). Here are links to the archives for anyone interested:
https://bigearthweb.net/sports/sports-live.7z
https://bigearthweb.net/sports/standings.7z
https://bigearthweb.net/sports/football_field.7z
https://bigearthweb.net/sports/json-leagues.7z
Just extract to your site. I know Sports-Live is Americentric, but I know nothing about soccer, so they're hard for me to build. Same with the football field. I'd love to see someone build one of those for non-American football based on what I have. I do have Y'all in standings though! I hope these come in handy for someone. I also am building a site to run your office football squares if anyone's interested,
P.S.
Some links that I've put up before may not work anymore. Let me know if somethings gone you may want.
