# score-scraper

This gem is used to retrieve NBA or MLB scores. Please note I do not own any of the information provided by this gem, all nba scores are retrieved from a publicly available json file on nba.com and all mlb scores are are retreived from a publicly available json file on mlb.com. It is entirely possible that these files will change and this gem will break, if that happens I will do my best to keep up with any changes.

## Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

```ruby
gem 'score-scraper'
```

And then execute:

    $ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

    $ gem install score-scraper


## Usage

### Get scores of games for nba teams
```ruby
require 'score_scraper'

scraper = ScoreScraper::Scrapers::Nba.new(Time.now.strftime("%Y-%m-%d"), # Date you want to search
                                          ['chi','det'])                 # Teams you want to find, pass nothing in for all teams

# team_games will return Game objects for the teams defined in the initialize
games = scraper.team_games
