Title: Lookup NBA schedule and perform the following actions
Post by: 2exclusive on October 01, 2014, 09:47:08 PM

Not sure if someone did this already,but a good idea for sports fanatics.

Have VC navigate to the following URL:

http://www.nba.com/schedules/national_tv_schedule/

and scrape the source for date, time, teams playing and what channel.

For example

Ask VC "Are there any NBA games playing today?"
VC responds "checking...."
VC brings the following info "yes, Miami @ Chicago, 8:00pm on channel ESPN ....Would you like to set a reminder?"
I respond "yes"
VC responds "setting reminder"

Or

You can say "Is Chicago playing today ?"
Then it can search for Chicago for today's date.

Ha. Well I know *we* don't care much about professional sports, but I can't speak for everyone. Haddood posted some nice FIFA xml back during ... um ... you know, world football season. Whatever that's called. :)

Are you looking for advice on how to go about this?

If you want to give it a go, we can offer some advice if/when you get stuck. Just post your xml.

Have you tested out the RegEx tool yet? http://voxcommando.com/forum/index.php?topic=1699.0

I would love to jump on the project, however I do not have much time till mid November ... meanwhile I think the approach should be to use scrape command to read the page on the fly or convert it to xml. For the channels one can switch the logo url to text easily since there are not many of them ...

ok, ill try my best to start it off. really new to this, so ill take a look at his past config see if i can make sense of any of it.

Title: Re: Lookup NBA schedule and perform the following actions
Post by: Haddood on October 03, 2014, 06:54:59 PM

looking at the source of the page ... here is the outline

scape the page

use regex to get matches from

<tr>
         <td class="dt">Sun, Oct 5</td>
         <td class="gm"><a href="/kings">Sacramento[/url] @ <a href="/raptors">Toronto[/url]
Preseason
            
         </td>
         <td class="tm">7:00 pm</td>
         <td class="ntv"><img border="0" src="http://i.cdn.turner.com/nba/nba/images/shrinkee_TSN2.gif"></td>
      </tr>

the challenge will be creating natural commands to convert today, tomorrow, this weekend ...etc.  to dates to filter the results take a look at nime5ter approach for the weather at this post http://voxcommando.com/forum/index.php?topic=1755.msg15262#msg15262

probably you can use the same py scripts

once this is solved same approach can be used develop command about results  ::) ::)
like
who won in NBA last game
what was the results of Raptores against Kings last game ...etc.

then we can do hockey and other sport  :P :P

Nice, thanks for the start. Appreciated

Alright. Haddood inspired me with his suggestion to convert the scraped contents to xml.

Here is a command group for the NBA schedule. I don't have time to explain the details, but basically you can ask if there are any NBA games on today. If there aren't any, it will prompt you to ask if you want to see upcoming games. If you confirm that you do, it will tell you the next 5 upcoming games. You can also just ask to see the upcoming games directly.

I guess this is just for Americans, though? I don't know what time zone they're reporting, or whether those channel are relevant outside the U.S.

By the way, currently I have it automatically scraping the NBA site when you first launch VC, or you can ask it to "update the schedule".

You can always change that schedule updating to work differently -- I was simply in a hurry.

Title: Re: Lookup NBA schedule and perform the following actions

It ain't perfect, but it's pretty functional. You can have it list more than 5 upcoming games if you want. I think I set it to store something like 30 games total.

Title: Re: Lookup NBA schedule and perform the following actions
Post by: 2exclusive on October 06, 2014, 02:38:34 PM

Do you know how I can rename the dates after its done scraping. Example in the xml it's dated as sun, oct 5,.

I would like to change everything that's sun to Sunday, sat to Saturday, oct to October..etc.. This will sound better when vox reads it out

Title: Re: Lookup NBA schedule and perform the following actions

Yes. The easiest hacky way if you are a non-programmer is to use the Results.Replace action 7 times (http://voxcommando.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=Actions#Replace) :
