im using the api endpoint'http://site.api.espn.com/apis/site/v2/sports/basketball/mens-college-basketball/scoreboard'. It is only returning the games for the top 25 teams. Any idea how to get all division 1 scores? The url for that is https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/scoreboard/_/group/50.
You need to pass in additional parameters as the default is to just get the top 25. The group for division 1 looks to be '50', and you also want to increase the default limit too:
import requests
url = 'http://site.api.espn.com/apis/site/v2/sports/basketball/mens-college-basketball/scoreboard'
payload = {
'limit':'500',
'groups':'50'}
jsonData = requests.get(url, params=payload).json()
Output:
import pandas as pd
df = pd.json_normalize(jsonData['events'])
print (df)
