node-shiftstats

This package pulls data from DigitalShift sites such as HockeyShift, SoccerShift, LacrosseShift, FootballShift, BasketballShift, and BaseballShift.

For the Ruby version of this library, see shift_stats

Install

You can install node-shiftstats via npm: npm install node-shiftstats

Usage

const ShiftStats = require('node-shiftstats')

Create a new instance of ShiftStats with

let s = new ShiftStats()

then await or .then() on s.login(). This connects to the ShiftStats server, logs in, and stores the ticket hash so you're ready to make any other request. This ticket is only valid for a limited amount of time.

Optionally specify your API key (note: by default uses the same API key as the Android HockeyShift app)

let s = new ShiftStats('yourApiKeyHere')

Attempting to login or call any API can reject/catch if there are network issues or the API key is invalid.

See the included example script for a small sample of interfacing with the library.

Bug reports, feature requests, contributions

Please create an issue or pull request on github. Assistance is most welcome.

There are more endpoints available on Shift sites, but none are documented. Running a mobile app inside an emulator and watching wireshark, fiddler, etc. is how the current endpoints were discovered.
