• Need to get status changes (completed, extra time, etc) working for 2018
• Need to get live events working for 2018

DONE: real time score

Will be updated in time for 15 June 2018 matches, will post here when finished

Group stage matches for Senegal are showing the country name "To Be Determined" instead of their name. This is possibly happening because Sen is lowercase in the team.json file?

{
  "group_id": 8,
  "code": "Sen",
  "name": "Senegal"
}

events are no more in the response (worldcup.sfg.io/matches).

It would be nice to have a timestamp of the last update in the returned data, especially when a game is in progress.

like this where $return is your data

if (phpversion('tidy') > 5.3) {
                echo json_encode($return, JSON_PRETTY_PRINT);
            }
            else {
                echo json_encode($return, 128);
        }

We are now pulling in UTC times but still parsing them with the Time Zone of the stadium, need to use raw UTC across the app

Match number 46 between Germany and France is still listed as in progress.

{
"match_number": 46,
"location": "Olympic Stadium",
"datetime": "2015-06-26T15:00:00.000-05:00",
"status": "in progress",
"home_team":{
"country": "Germany",
"code": "GER",
"goals": 1
},
"away_team":{
"country": "France",
"code": "FRA",
"goals": 1
},
"winner": null,
"winner_code": null,
"home_team_events":[{"id": 725, "type_of_event": "yellow-card", "player": "Mittag", "time": "37"...}],
"away_team_events":[{"id": 728, "type_of_event": "yellow-card", "player": "Delie", "time": "55"...}]
}

I think this may be related to #35.

Hi this may be too much to ask. But since google shows the highlights link along with results, is it possible to include that too? Thanks.

I'm using your data in my website: https://fifawc2018.info

hey,

Love the API and i'm sure you've got this in hand already, but are you looking to resolve the data not being updated in the teams/results endpoint?

{
"id": 1,
"country": "Russia",
"alternate_name": null,
"fifa_code": "RUS",
"group_id": 1,
"group_letter": "A",
"wins": 0, *
"draws": 0, *

"games_played": 0, *
"points": 0, *
"goals_for": 0, *
"goals_against": 0, *

}

Hello, how can I get the result after basic time of match - I mean 90 minutes + additional time? Or just after the first half?

Every game in the world cup seems to have a match number.
In former times this was an integer like "1", "2", ... "64".

This does not seem to be available any more. Instead - on fifa.com it seems that there is a Match number in the format "300331503" for the first game Russia vs Saudi Arabia.

Add these to /matches for identification

...
"match_number": "300331503",
...

This json is invalid as "away_team_events" has nothing

{"match_number":23,"location":"Arena Corinthians","datetime":"2014-06-19T16:00:00.000-03:00","status":"in progress","home_team":{"country":"Uruguay","code":"URU","goals":0},"away_team":{"country":"England","code":"ENG","goals":0},"winner":null,"home_team_events":{"id":246,"type_of_event":"yellow-card","player":"D. Godin","time":"9"},"away_team_events":}

Hi, I use http://worldcup.sfg.io/matches
but now all the dates of the matches are messed up, the first in the json was a match
{"venue": "Saransk", "location": "Mordovia Arena", "status": "future", "time": null, "fifa_id": "300331550", "datetime": "2018-06-19T12 : 00: 00Z "...
but expected
{"venue": "Moscow", "location": "Luzhniki Stadium", "status": "completed", "time": "full-time", "fifa_id": "300331503", "datetime": "2018 -06-14T15: 00: 00Z "

Im using your sample links on the site and it brings back the women schedule and scores. Is there anyway to limit it to either men or women ?

Just letting you know that Egypt - Urugay is 0 - 0 but was 0 - 1 a while ago.

Did a little work tonight. We are SO close to having goals, cards, and substitutions for each match in real time. Things still needed

1. Some work on the RABL output. Ideally home_team events are structured under home team and away_team_events by away_team. Not familiar with RABL so running into some syntax issues

2. I have grabbed the event type and player, we also need to grab the time of the event if possible.

Please checkout the new_stats_scraper branch, pull to your local host, and feel free to work on it. You'll need to run the migrations, then run rake fifa:get_all_events

Here is another project built upon your API: https://github.com/fatiherikli/worldcup

bruh

@estiens :
Hi, congratulations on the project.

I was giving a look, but it seems that the minute-by-minute update does not seem to work in current, today, matches.

Cheers for your good work guys.
It seems like group_results API is not working, could you have a look over it?

Thanks in advance.

I've noticed that there's some issues in home_team_events and away_team_events where there are 4-5 substitution-in events, including some duplicates.

{
  "home_team_events": [
      {
        "id": 23,
        "type_of_event": "yellow-card",
        "player": "Karim EL AHMADI",
        "time": "34'"
      },
      {
        "id": 26,
        "type_of_event": "substitution-in",
        "player": "Sofyan AMRABAT",
        "time": "76'"
      },
      {
        "id": 27,
        "type_of_event": "substitution-in",
        "player": "Aziz BOUHADDOUZ",
        "time": "76'"
      },
      {
        "id": 31,
        "type_of_event": "substitution-in",
        "player": "Aziz BOUHADDOUZ",
        "time": "77'"
      },
      {
        "id": 30,
        "type_of_event": "substitution-in",
        "player": "Manuel DA COSTA",
        "time": "82'"
      }
    ],
    "away_team_events": [
      {
        "id": 22,
        "type_of_event": "yellow-card",
        "player": "Masoud SHOJAEI",
        "time": "10'"
      },
      {
        "id": 24,
        "type_of_event": "yellow-card",
        "player": "Alireza JAHANBAKHSH",
        "time": "47'"
      },
      {
        "id": 25,
        "type_of_event": "substitution-in",
        "player": "Mehdi TAREMI",
        "time": "68'"
      },
      {
        "id": 28,
        "type_of_event": "substitution-in",
        "player": "Pejman MONTAZERI",
        "time": "79'"
      },
      {
        "id": 29,
        "type_of_event": "substitution-in",
        "player": "Majid HOSSEINI",
        "time": "82'"
      },
      {
        "id": 32,
        "type_of_event": "substitution-in",
        "player": "Saman GHODDOS",
        "time": "85'"
      }
    ]
}

I've also noticed that there are no substitution-out events.

I think some matches have the wrong datetime. For example the United States vs. Colombia game has a timestamp of "T17:00:00.000-05:00" or 6pm eastern time, but the game is at 8pm.

The 'goals_against' field in the group endpoint is always showing 0.

Hi, i've been using the API on my site, and I've noticed that the times I've used http://worldcup.sfg.io/matches as a data source, the first match with TBD teams is missing both home_team_tbd and away_team_tbd properties.

I hope the markdown code works. Best regards.

Add events for the match:

• injury-time (with information about how much injury time was added on)
• half-time
• full-time

we're using this feed internally at our company in our tipping table and we need to know that prior to the next round.

In the matches feed, http://worldcup.sfg.io/matches some events are duplicated.

Match 54 has several on various events, such as:

        {
            "id": 1227,
            "type_of_event": "substitution-out",
            "player": "Mustafi",

2018 World cup ?

Hey, first of all, thanks for the amazing project 😄

My issue here is: I need a way of having the matches organized by stages (e.g. Group Stage, Round of 16, Quarter Finals and so on). I was doing this by just splitting the array I get on http://worldcup.sfg.io/matches–and it worked because it was ordered according to the matches' date.

Turns out that suddenly matches from the knockout stage came before matches from the group one on my responses. Then I decided trying ?by_date=ASC but it doesn't seem to work on /match endpoint, I mean, it produces the very same order on the response payload for ?by_date=ASC and ?by_date=DESC–it works perfectly on /matches/today/, tho.

Any ideas on what's going on?

@estiens :
Hi, It would be possible to give the possibility to the following api call: http://worldcup.sfg.io/teams/results
that the results are grouped by group as in: http://worldcup.sfg.io/teams/group_results

I would use http://worldcup.sfg.io/teams/group_results, but it does not have the following data:
    "wins": 1,
     "draws": 0,
     "losses": 0,
     "games_played": 1,
     "goals_for": 5,
     "goals_against": 0,
     "goal_differential": 5

Counselor something like this: http://worldcup.sfg.io/teams/results?orderBy=group

Just add in the response header the following line:
Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *

More info on http://enable-cors.org/server.html

Maybe https://www.fifa.com/live/17/season/254645/match/${match_id}/_live_statistics

The feed now includes information about players that are swapped in, but not those that are swapped out.

It'd be nice if this api was available over HTTPS.

EGYPT V URUGUAY is finished, yet the site returned to showing it as a future match with a scheduled time. We don't want to return that match to that in the API.

although it isn't a team event, adding half-time event can be greate

All match start time is returned as :
datetime: "2018-06-15T07:00:00.000-05:00",

Can you please explain to which time zone this time refers to ?
Timing as per FIFA site is just mentioned as Local Time for the above time.
Again Russia has multiple zones.
Unable to derive the time for a country-specific time, for e.g India in my case.

another suggestion: please add a match_type for better sorting.

by the way, I have an app that uses yours, Quiniela, it's a Django fantasy football app which updates scores and users' points with your data.

It seems the scraper isn't getting all events. For example in match_number 1, Croatia has 2 subs in, but 0 subs out. In general I noticed there are many more subs in compared to subs out - I didn't checkout other events.

Russia vs Saudi Arabia match info still shows as "in progress".

Matches that have already taken place are being shown as TBD. Could be a problem with the scraping?

Here's an example:

{  
   "venue":"Moscow",
   "location":"Luzhniki Stadium",
   "status":"future",
   "time":null,
   "fifa_id":"300331552",
   "datetime":"2018-07-15T22:00:00Z",
   "last_event_update_at":null,
   "last_score_update_at":null,
   "home_team":{  
      "country":"To Be Determined",
      "code":"TBD",
      "team_tbd":"W61"
   },
   "away_team":{  
      "country":"To Be Determined",
      "code":"TBD",
      "team_tbd":"W62"
   },
   "winner":null,
   "winner_code":null,
   "home_team_events":"no events available for this match",
   "away_team_events":"no events available for this match"
}

There are group results, goals, wins, draws, etc. bu there isn't team point.

Teams have a "knocked-out" option. For the group stages, should teams be knocked out when they are mathematically eliminated from advancing, or only after group play ends?

E.g. the example file says RebiĆ instead of Rebić

Hi dude,

I'm wondering if your API will provide data for the upcoming 2018 world cup (men) this summer ?
And if so, is there any release date ?

I would love to use it for a little project in Swift :D
Thanks man !

thanks for the data!
the current match says 1pm ET but it actually started 6pm ET.

[{"match_number":16,"location":"Arena Pantanal","datetime":"2014-06-17T13:00:00.000-05:00","status":"in progress","home_team":{"country":"Russia","code":"RUS","goals":1},"away_team":{"country":"Korea Republic","code":"KOR","goals":1},"winner":null}]

How long is the current route active after the game? I am looking for the status to go from "in progress" to be "completed". The next call I make seems to get []
