Moving accross the country, I still wanted to keep tabs on my brother's soccer games. In Utah there is a local site Deseret News that covers all high school sports. So I wanted to create a simple API for Deseret News High School Sports section.

This is in its infancy right now, but will be improved as i work on it more.

Currently, there is a class DSS - Deseret Sports Scraper - that accepets a Deseret url in the following format:

https://sports.deseret.com/high-school/school/{school-name}/{sport}/scores-schedule

The default functionality is using the module after initalizing the DSS object:

self.run()

This scrapes the site and pull a date and the date previous's results as well as upcoming games. It then sends an email to all emails listed in the recipients.txt file.

NOTE: This defaults to datetime.date.today(), but can be changed using the module:

self._set_date(new_date)

You can find an example of what was done in the example_fhs.py file.

I have writen a send_email module that relies on a make_config module that I also created. You can find these here: https://github.com/jaceiverson/custom-python

Details on how to best use these modules is inclued on the README.md for that project.

Use crontab. One of the best articles on how to set up crontab working on your mac can be found here:

Use the Task Scheuler. A clear article on how to do this can be found here:
