Usage

To use this app you need a rewrite and an id for your team from fussball.de. Therefore go to the team website at fussball.de and have a look to the url. The format is like: http://www.fussball.de/mannschaft//-/saison//team-id/#!/section/stage Copy the values within <> and use it like so:

Receive the next matches:

ExFussballDeScraper.Scraper.next_matches("club-name-team-rewrite", "team-id")

This returns a tuple:

{:ok, %{team_name: "my team name", matches: [...]}, timestamp}
{:error, error_reason, timestamp}

Receive the current table

ExFussballDeScraper.Scraper.current_table("club-name-team-rewrite", "team-id")

This returns a tuple:

{:ok, %{team_name: "my team name", current_table: html_string}, timestamp}
{:error, error_reason, timestamp}
