I'm building it on a Mac, so you can be sure of it (:

If you have no clue on how to run a Python script, I recommend CodeRunner at the App Store.

Oh awesome! Your a legend mate im becoming an OC next season so will help with any info I can

So, guys, you can get the first version here:

https://gist.github.com/philgruneich/2cd7af31bd666c9bc7d5

Just replace the game_id and hit Run (:

You can also customize what the system considers as Very Short/Short/Medium and Long, just as in the tactics.

Next? Well, sort the output properly is the next step, then convert it to a class, which will ease the next major step, which is allowing you to analyze more than a single match and mess with the results afterwards. Also, improve the damn speed since it takes 2500 ms for each run.

How do I make this work? Sorry, but I don't have any experience with this type of stuff on this game. Do I need a program?

First, go get Python.
https://www.python.org/

Then you'll prolly want PiP (makes the next 2 steps easier)
https://pip.pypa.io/en/latest/installing.html

Then you'll need two add to file libraries for Python that kaiijy used: (I'm assuming windows here)
-Go to your c:\Python34/Scripts directory from the command prompt (cd:\Python34\Scripts)
-type "pip install requests"
-type "pip install BeautifulSoup4"

Then follow the link kaiijy gave us, copy the script of the text into a text file named "ultimate_glb2.py" and put that in your Python34 directory. Edit the game ID that kiijy very nicely commented to the game you want to scout.

From the command prompt type
cd:\Python34 (in case you aren't there already)
ultimate_grb2.py (and wait patiently)

It'll then spit out all the stuff we've asked for for the game ID you put in.

no u

you should talk to Thunderoo
he has made a script that pulls most of this info in a different format
you could expand on his thing and use his outputs as info for your script if it works out
though his script is for pc so it may be that you guys have made similar scripts for different systems

That's how I do it right now, that data I posted earlier is already done, in 2 different scripts. I want to integrate both and make it as easier as possible so anyone can use it without much Python knowledge (insert game ID and you're good to go).

If someone else wants to know what Stobie is talking about, open any replay and add /1 to the URL, like this: http://glb2.warriorgeneral.com/game/replay/53990/3350979/1

Something else to think about is if you don't need all the movement information is to use this version of JSON. Took my parsing times from 40-50 seconds down to 3-5 seconds.

http://glb2.warriorgeneral.com/game/game/54546/json?type=pbp

basically it is all the plays in the game at a high level attributes. Also uses playerID's instead of names so you don't have conflicting JSON escapes to code for. Time remaning is a divide by 60 as it is seconds. It won't give you defensive team id, but you can derive that from the inverse of the offense team id once you know the game your in.

3405818: {
quarter: "1",
defense_play: "5",
score: "0",
description: "K {12668} kicked off 53 yards to KR {19668} for a 39 yard return, out of bounds.",
offense: "291",
time_remaining: "900",
los: "OPP 30",
to_go: "10",
down: "0",
offense_play: "6"
},

Thanks for the detailed instructions. I got it working. This is awesome!

That's just great! May I assume "offense_play" and "defense_play" correspond to the formation ID? That probably inform the number of WRs and TEs. The description is also better as I can skip decoding to latin-1, which will definitely improve the json load.

One little tweak that'd make the output easier to read is putting things in ascending play distance order instead of alphabetical, ie. very short, short, medium, long, very long.

Those are the play ID's that you can then decipher using both of offense and defense json pages which for the life of me can't remember how to get to.

Ok soo... im on a mac and have downloaded python3.4 and pip, ran get-pip.py but now im stuck. Dont think I have python34\scripts tells me command doesn't exsit.. and when I try the pip install requests or beautifulsoup it says invalid syntax..

Where am I goimg wrong? Thanks in advance

Python 3 usually comes with pip pre-installed. Try using pip3 instead

pip3 install requests

for example (:

After installing Python, you'll get a folder in your Applications, you can run the script through IDLE, I believe.
