swcpy software development kit (SDK)

This is the python SDK to to interact with the SportsWorldCentral Football API, which was created for the book Hands-On APIs for AI and Data Science.

Installing swcpy

To install this SDK in your environment, execute the following command:

pip install swcpy@git+https://github.com/{owner of repo}/portfolio-project#subdirectory=sdk

Example Usage

This SDK implements all the endpoints in the SWC API, in addition to providing bulk downloads of the SWC fantasy data in CSV format.

Example of normal API functions

To call the SDK functions for normal API endpoints, here is an example:

from swcpy import SWCClient
from swcpy import SWCConfig

config = SWCConfig(url="http://127.0.0.1:8000",backoff=False)
client = SWCClient(config)    
leagues_response = client.list_leagues()
print(leagues_response)

Example of bulk data functions

The build data endpoint return a bytes object. Here is an example of saving a file locally from a bulk file endpoint:

import csv
import os
from io import StringIO

config = SWCConfig()
    client = SWCClient(config)    

    """Tests bulk player download through SDK"""
    player_file = client.get_bulk_player_file()


    # Write the file to disk to verify file download
    output_file_path = data_dir + 'players_file.csv'
    with open(output_file_path, 'wb') as f:
        f.write(player_file)
