DS34: Dashboard Week Day 3

by Lorna Brown

One of the perks of being a coach is sometimes you get to delegate projects that are on your own backlog to the likes of these type of projects. Today is one of those. I am a big Rugby League fan as some of you might know and I regularly collect data on the Super League, which is the Europes premiership Rugby League. However I have always wanted to eventually compare how Super League compares to the National Rugby League (NRL), which is based in Australia and New Zealand, but I have never gotten round to getting the data. So today’s task is to:

  1. Web scrape the NRL Match Centre games from 2017 through to 2022
  2. Each person will have 2 home teams they need to collect data for
  3. For each game they should get the score, play by play commentary and Player Statistics for both teams in that game
  4. Store the data into one big shared datasource
  5. Each person should work independently
  6. Write a blog about a specific technique or section from the web scraping challenge
  7. Presentations should different, each person should talk about a specific section of their workflows, the how and the why

Looking forward to being able to use this data in the future to compare Super League to NRL.
