Pycricbuzz is a python library that can be used to get live scores, commentary and full scorecard for recent and live matches.
In case you want to know how the library was developed, you can watch the video: https://youtu.be/OQqYbC1BKxw
Installation: Run the following pip command in the terminal.
pip install pycricbuzz
First of all, we need to create an object of Cricbuzz() for further operations.
Python3
# importing the modules from pycricbuzz import Cricbuzz # creating a Cricbuzz object c = Cricbuzz() |
Fetch all the matches provided by Cricbuzz
We use the matches() method to fetch all the live, upcoming and recently finished matches. Each match has an id associated with it.
Python3
# importing the modules from pycricbuzz import Cricbuzz # creating a Cricbuzz object c = Cricbuzz() # displaying all the matches print(c.matches()) |
Output:
The output by default is quite difficult to read. We can use JSON to make the output matches more human-readable.
Python3
# importing the modules from pycricbuzz import Cricbuzz import json # creating a Cricbuzz object c = Cricbuzz() # displaying all the matches print(json.dumps(c.matches(), indent = 4)) |
Output:
Get a particular match’s information
We can use the matchinfo() method to get the information of a particular match. We have to pass the match id in this method.
Python3
# importing the modules from pycricbuzz import Cricbuzz import json # creating a Cricbuzz object c = Cricbuzz() # displaying the match information print(json.dumps(c.matchinfo('30560'), indent = 4)) |
Output:
Fetching the live score of a match
We can fetch the score of a live match by using the livescore() method. Use it only for live matches.
Python3
# importing the modules from pycricbuzz import Cricbuzz import json # creating a Cricbuzz object c = Cricbuzz() # displaying the match score print(json.dumps(c.livescore('30505'), indent = 4)) |
Output:
Fetching the scorecard of a match
We can get the scorecard of a match by using the scorecard() method. Pass the match id of the target match in this method.
Python3
# importing the modules from pycricbuzz import Cricbuzz import json # creating a Cricbuzz object c = Cricbuzz() # displaying the match score print(json.dumps(c.scorecard('30505'), indent = 4)) |
Output:
Fetching the commentary of a match
We can get the commentary of a particular match by using the commentary() method. Pass the match id in this method.
Python3
# importing the modules from pycricbuzz import Cricbuzz import json # creating a Cricbuzz object c = Cricbuzz() # displaying the match commentary print(json.dumps(c.commentary('30505'), indent = 4)) |
Output:
