Socceraction is an open source Python package that primarily provides an |
|
|
implementation of the VAEP possession value framework. However, the package also |
|
|
provides a number of other features, such as API clients for loading data from |
|
|
the most popular data providers and converters for each of these data |
|
|
provider's proprietary data formats to a common action-based data format |
|
|
(i.e., SPADL) that enables subsequent data analysis. Therefore, socceraction |
|
|
can take away some of the heavy data preprocessing burden from researchers and |
|
|
data scientists who are interested in working with soccer event stream data. |
|
|
|
|
|
**Q: Where can I get event stream data?** |
|
|
Both StatsBomb and Wyscout provide a free sample of their data. Alternatively, |
|
|
you can buy a subscription to the event data feed from StatsBomb, Wyscout or |
|
|
Opta (Stats Perform). Instructions on how to load the data from each of these |
|
|
sources with socceraction are available in the :doc:`documentation |
|
|
<data/index>`. |
