Uploading Stats, games, Roster, Schedule to my OWN website.

Post by ndzacher » Thu Dec 15, 2011 10:04 am

I am transferring my teams website from a hosted solution to a Wordpress site. I am curious on how I can use the API data to add pages to my site to include things such as Roster, Schedule, Games, and Stats. I am confused on how all of that works.

The iFrame source is not very good and I am not sure how to do this. Can anyone help me?

Thanks.

The iScore Team Websites were intentionally created to allow embedding of any of the pages from the website into other websites as IFRAMEs. This was done to allow a simple way to embed the iScore data in other sites without having to understand programming.

If you are not happy with the IFRAME solution, we have also provided the Team Website API. This gives you full access to all the data available to the Team Websites in an XML format. By providing the data in XML, you can take the data and apply whatever kind of "styling" to it that you want to produce your own HTML pages. This will require at least some programming knowledge in order to transform the XML into something usable by your site. One approach would be to create XSL style sheets that transform the XML data into HTML for display on your site. This can likely be done with a pure client side solutions with Javascript and/or tools like jQuery. For people with even more programming knowledge, you can take the data from the XML and store it in your backend, or just manipulate it directly with programming tools like PHP, .NET, or JSP. XML is pretty universal and is supported by most web based programming tools.
