Great job. I have my own mongodb of the games/scores that I update manually (not in real time though).

I would love to see something automated like this for the major leagues (La Liga, BPL, Bundesliga, Serie A). I tried my hand at scraping the HTML of different sites, but found out that the main ones guard against that by changing their HTML periodically, so I gave up.

Side question: what does HN think in general about scraping data from HTML? There are websites that charge for live sports data, and scraping them seems borderline unethical.

In the US at least, facts can't be protected with copyright, and sports scores & statistics have been judged facts. So you would be OK, and ethical. But avoid scraping/re-sharing anything of added value, like commentary or analysis.

I suspect rules in other countries vary.
