Simple Sports Ticker

[hbjerkan]

I have tried a few different sports tickers through random threads found online but nothing is clean and simple. Something like a simple live scores ticker like ESPN would be amazing!

Hi @hbjerkan,

ESPN has limited their API use based on our research and we have unable to find an application to attempt to join partnership to gather the data necessary for displaying this. This is still a use case we are very interested in solving for however. If you have any leads on suitable API's that can gather a wide range of popular sports scores we can review their LOE to implement.

Hej, here I listed all the sports data providers I could find. Perhaps it can help you.

Hi Corey, Thank you for the quick reply. I have done a ton of digging and the score tickers seem to be impossible to find. The best I did was a RSS feed for the Sports News ticker but nothing for live scores. Thank you for looking into it. I did have a suggestion for an app I just came across over the weekend. It is a Meal Planning App called Whisk. It is a free app that allows you to create a meal plan and give you recipes. Since my current DakBoard Screen features a Meal Planner through a Google Calendar I thought this app would be a cool one to explore. Thought I would at least bring it to your attention if you had not heard of it. I love DakBoard and how far it has come in the 8-10 months I have had it. I will be a customer for a very long time.

Hi @hbjerkan,

Thank you for the suggestion, I took a look at Whisk and unfortunately they don't allow export via ICS for an easy solution to this unfortunately. It does look like there can be other development paths to accomplish this if we have enough client focus to justify the integration though. I would recommend creating another discussion and if it picks up momentum we can look into it a bit further.

We will keep our eyes open for a good reliable sports API, are there certain sports you are looking for more and is it mainly live scores?

Hi Corey, Good to know! Live scores/scores from that day. Specific sports; NFL, NCAA Football/Basketball, MLS (or Soccer in general), MLB, NHL, PGA are the sports I recommend. I know NBA would be super popular although I am not an NBA fan. Thanks, Hans Bjerkan 913-636-9814 Need Payroll for your business? Try 3-Months Free #withGusto <http://gusto.com/friends?hans-bjerkan>

Has anyone looked at Score Stream? https://scorestream.com

Appears they have a widget option. Looks like their core business is high school sports, but comments in other forms indicate they may have pro and college sports scores in the widget.

@Husker97,

This is a very good solution from my testing, excellent suggestion. I used the following steps to create a widget.

• Created free account
• From the top right silhouette icon, I chose widgets
• clicked Create a widget then selected the following style that I preferred:

• Search for the teams to display, give the Widget a name and set any other formatting changes desired (I left these as-is)
• Click MAKE YOUR WIDGET
• Copy the HTML that is created

Access your custom screen on dakboard.com

• Create a Widget Block
• Paste the HTML provided from scoresteam copied earlier
• Resize accordingly to desired size
