A Python 3 Client To Interact with MLB.com Stats

PyBall - A MLB.com Stats API Python Client

API Documentation:

http://statsapi.mlb.com/docs/#

If anyone has any connection to MLB and can get access to the API documentation I would really appreciate it.

import pyball

def main():
    pb = pyball.PyBall()
    kluber = pb.get_player(446372)
    print(kluber.fullName)
    print(kluber.pitchHand.description)
    print(kluber.batSide.description)


if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

This is very much in beta alpha.

Logging

This library uses logging to alert when the current version of this library does not match the MLB.com API. All loggers use PyBall. as a naming prefix. Use this to disable logging if you do not desire these alerts.

pyball's Issues

No check for extra fields

The check in base_model.py for extra fields was removed in commit 91d653b when converted to dataclass. This makes changes in api harder to track.

get_teams() fails because of this 'allStartStatus' new field in API

There is at least a new field in the that is now bieng expected by the Team class
this is 'allStartStatus'

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "main.py", line 40, in <module>
    main()
  File "main.py", line 12, in main
    teams = pb.get_teams()
  File "/home/omar/projects/saberman-env/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pyball/pyball.py", line 170, in get_teams
    return [Team(**team) for team in results['teams']]
  File "/home/omar/projects/saberman-env/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pyball/pyball.py", line 170, in <listcomp>
    return [Team(**team) for team in results['teams']]
TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'allStarStatus'

What is the current state of this?

This looks to be the only promising mlbstats api python implementation, however it seems there is a lot to be done to get even basic stats. Are currently implemented? Like hits,ERA, avg on a team or player granularity? Perhaps I am just being a bit dense.
