Various data scraping tools were used: Scrapy (an open source Python web crawler library built using the Twisted framework), Selenium (a web browser automation tool), GeckoDriver/ChromeDriver for Firefox/Chrome browser launching, and the lxml HTML parsing library. Note that only free data was used in this project even the Synergy data used (advanced player tracking, etc.) is publicly available and scrapable using the custom tools contained in this repository. In "Data_Scraping" there are many notebooks which were used to amass datasets from a variety of basketball data websites. This repository contains explorations and models of NBA data.
