Sports Scores?

Hi, I'm looking for a way to display sports scores on my app. Was thinking of doing this by either RSS or HTML but don't know how. I did find two RSS feeds for the NBA however one of them was about 45 minutes behind the actual score and the other was on time but didn't show how much time was left in the game.

I hate to be the bad news guy, but if you want to create a sports app with live scores you are going to need around 100,000 dollars to start. Not to step on your dreams but a sports data app is really hard to do because the data is alway changing and unless you have fresh data no one will use it. I don't mean to sound rude, but there are so many sports apps on the market and As a user I would just download espn because they have several million dollars invested in the app. I wish you good luck.

Btw if you are really interested in true data stats check out stats.com this is where most of the major networks buy there data from. I caution you though it is not cheap!

Wow, I didn't know that haha. Guess that's probably not a possibility. Just wondering, you don't think its possible to find an RSS feed like one of the two below? These are the two NBA ones I mentioned in my post: feeds.feedburner.com/sportsnetwork/mdLN http://feeds.feedburner.com/mpiii/nba

O there are thousands of RSS feeds out there that would work, but you can't charge for it. You don't have rights to sell that data, just keep that in mind. Last thing you want is to get in trouble for selling data that is not yours. What I do is...:.. Contact me by email for further atk378 @ yahoo
