CricLive

This is a Python script to fetch live cricket match scores from Cricbuzz using web scraping techniques. It uses the requests library to make HTTP requests and BeautifulSoup from bs4 to parse the HTML. The script also incorporates random User-Agent selection to mimic requests from different browsers.

Features

• Fetches live match scores for a specific cricket match using its match ID.
• Retrieves detailed match information including:
  • Match title
  • Live score
  • Current run rate
  • Batsman statistics (runs and balls faced)
  • Bowler statistics (overs, runs conceded, wickets, and economy rate)
• Uses random User-Agent headers for each request to avoid being blocked by the website.

Requirements

• Python 3.6+
• Libraries:
  • requests
  • beautifulsoup4
  • random (part of the Python standard library)

You can install the required libraries using the following command:

pip install requests beautifulsoup4

Random User-Agent

The script randomly selects a User-Agent from a predefined list to avoid being flagged or blocked by the website. You can modify the list of User-Agents by editing the USER_AGENTS variable.

USER_AGENTS = [
    'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/85.0.4183.121 Safari/537.36',
    'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/91.0.4472.124 Safari/537.36',
    'Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) AppleWebKit/605.1.15 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/14.0.3 Safari/605.1.15',
    'Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/91.0.4472.124 Safari/537.36',
    'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:89.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/89.0',
]

Error Handling

{
  "error": "Something went wrong: [error details]"
}
