Live Score Feeds

[DmSpeed]

FanFooty displays live Champion Data scores, I'm guessing they get them from some sort of XML feed...does anybody know the address of such a feed? Or is it something you have to pay for?

Thanks.

Because FanFooty seems to "break" a lot, but the top 5 scores you can get through the AFL live scores thing still updates so I figure I could get the live scores if I just knew where to get the feed from.

There is an XML feed. Until recently it was freely available in plain text (so anybody could read it), but since about a month ago it has been protected by several layers of security. Unless you can figure out how to decrypt it yourself, you'll have to rely on FanFooty.

so is what you are doing legal m0nty?

As far as I know it is, netmatrix. The laws have not been tested in court, to tell the truth. They are being tested at the moment in the US in a case between a fantasy sports Web site and Major League Baseball over whether rights over sport statistics about famous players can be claimed, but nothing like that has been taken to court in Australia. In any case, I have made sure that FanFooty only shows fantasy totals, not raw statistics, so I'm not breaking Champion Data's rights over the stats if indeed they do exist.
