[Sofascore] Allow retrieving leagues from other regions #820
Description
Describe the bug
Hello. In the documentation, it is advised to add more leagues for sofascore by going to https://api.sofascore.com/api/v1/config/unique-tournaments/EN/football
However, I was looking for Czech 1st league and I did not find it there. But I found it on this page:
https://api.sofascore.com/api/v1/config/unique-tournaments/CZ/football
So I modified my local sofascore.py to read from that page and I created custom entry for league
{
"CZE-Czech First League": {
"Sofascore": "Czech First League"
}
}
Unfortunately, that did not work and I am still getting index errors (even when I leave entries for other scrapers there)
Can you please advise how to use other leagues from that second URL?
Affected scrapers
This affects the following scrapers:
sofascore.py
Code example
A minimal code example that fails. Use no_cache=True to make sure an invalid cached file does not cause the bug and make sure you have the latest version of soccerdata installed.
from soccerdata import Sofascore
al = Sofascore.available_leagues()
print("\nAvailable leagues:")
print(al)
# Initialize Sofascore instance with the "24-25" season
mh = Sofascore(leagues=["CZE-Czech First League"], seasons=["24-25"])
# Retrieve available leagues
available_leagues = mh.read_leagues()
# Display the list of leagues
print("\nAvailable leagues:")
print(available_leagues)
# Adjust the loop to iterate over the correct column or structure
for league in available_leagues.itertuples():
print(league)
# Retrieve schedule for the league "ENG-Premier League"
eng_premier_league_schedule = mh.read_schedule()
# Display the matches
print("\nMatches:")
for _, match in eng_premier_league_schedule.iterrows():
print(match)
# Display the number of matches
#print(f"\nNumber of matches: {len(eng_premier_league_schedule)}")
