Soccer CLI

Soccer for Hackers - a CLI for all the football scores.

Install

An API key from football-data.org will be required and you can register for one here.

Using pip

$ pip install soccer-cli

Set your API key in an environment variable SOCCER_CLI_API_TOKEN

For example:

export SOCCER_CLI_API_TOKEN="<YOUR_API_TOKEN>"

Build from source

$ git clone https://github.com/architv/soccer-cli.git
$ cd soccer-cli
$ python setup.py install

You can set the API key using an environment variable as shown above or create a file .soccer-cli.ini in your home folder (/home/username/.soccer-cli.ini) that contains only your API token, such that:

$ cat /home/username/.soccer-cli.ini
<YOUR_API_TOKEN>

Note:

Currently supports Linux, Mac OS X, NetBSD, FreeBSD and Windows.

To get colorized terminal output on Windows, make sure to install ansicon and colorama.
