guardian / pa-football-client   7.0.12

GitHub

Scala client for PA football feeds. Only does football data, it has no knowledge of Guardian match reports and such. You will need your own API key

Scala versions: 3.x 2.13 2.12

PA Football Client

A simple scala client for the PA football API.

pa-client Scala version support Release

It merely interacts with the PA feeds, it does not understand Guardian Tags and match reports and so on.

How to use

Add a dependency:

libraryDependencies += "com.gu" % "pa-client" % "<version>"

Versions are published for Scala 2.12 and 2.13.

Note, versions prior to 7.0.5 were stored on Bintray and are no longer available.

How to release a new version

This repo uses gha-scala-library-release-workflow to automate publishing releases - see Making a Release.

Timezones

As of v5.0.0, the PA client correctly uses timezone-aware dates and times. Since all date information is provided from the PA feed in UK time, the timezone is set as Europe/London. Your application will need to be aware of this because Europe/London changes between UTC and UTC+1 depending on the time of year (BST).

Usage

Note that this library does not include an HTTP library so you will need to provide an implementation for the client's GET method.

object Client extends PaClient {
    val apiKey = "YOUR_API_KEY"
    def GET(url: String): Future[Response] = { /* implement code to fetch a url */ }
}
