Website Specific Demo

Background information:

Website with interactive chart that visualizes NBA players' stats under clutch circumstances. As a result, the clutchness of NBA players may be accurately compared and discussed.

FAQ:

Why isn't this project hosted?

Unfortunately, there's been a long history of stats.nba.com blocking various cloud provider IPs, as shown in 2019, 2018, and 2017. I tried hosting it on PythonAnywhere, Heroku, and OxyCreates, but ran into this problem as well. As a result, it seems as though NBA's stats API can only be requested from a local server.

Why should I care about this?

Accurately determining the clutchness of an NBA player requires a wealth of data across long periods of time. Thanks to swar and NBA.com, this web app pulls from this data and visualizes it in a comprehensible manner, allowing users to settle the age-old argument: who's more clutch?

Is the data accurate?

The data is pulled directly from stats.nba.com, which is updated after every game, using the Python library nba_api made by user swar. So, yes!

How can I tell which parameters to modify if I get an error message?

It's hard to say. An error message usually occurs for two reasons: this game scenario hasn't happened, or it didn't happen. I'd suggest modifying the parameter that seems most illogical!

Legal statement:

The data pulled from stats.nba.com is not stored in any database, nor is it used for monitziation purposes. All statistics are directly attibuted to stats.nba.com.
