Usage

To use keibascraper, import the library and use the load function to fetch and parse data from netkeiba.com. The load function requires two parameters: the data type and the entity ID.

Loading Entry Data (出走データ)

import keibascraper

# Load entry data for a specific race ID
race_id = "202206050811"  # Example race ID
race_info = keibascraper.load("entry", race_id)

# Access race information
print(race_info)
# Output: {'race_id': '202206050811', 'race_name': 'Example Race', ... 'entry': [{'horse_number': 1, 'horse_name': 'Horse A', ...}, {...}, ...]}

Loading Result Data (結果データ)

import keibascraper

# Load result data for a specific race ID
race_id = "202206050811"  # Example race ID
race_info = keibascraper.load("result", race_id)

# Access race information
print(race_info)
# Output: {'race_id': '202206050811', 'race_name': 'Example Race', ... 'entry': [{'rank': 1, 'horse_name': 'Horse A', 'rap_time': 120.5, ...}, {...}, ...]}

Loading Odds Data (オッズデータ)

import keibascraper

# Load odds data for a specific race ID
race_id = "202206050811"  # Example race ID
odds_data = keibascraper.load("odds", race_id)

# Access odds information
print(odds_data)
# Output: [{'horse_number': 1, 'win': 3.5, 'show_min': 1.2, 'show_max': 1.5, ...}, {...}, ...]

Loading Horse Data (血統データ/出走履歴データ)

import keibascraper

# Load horse data for a specific horse ID
horse_id = "2010101234"  # Example horse ID
horse_info = keibascraper.load("horse", horse_id)

# Access horse information
print(horse_info)
# Output: {'horse_id': '2010101234', 'horse_name': 'Horse A', 'father_name': 'Sire A', ... 'entry': [{'race_date': '2022-06-05', 'race_name': 'Example Race', 'rank': 1, ...}, {...}, ...]}

Bulk Data Loading

To load multiple races in bulk, you can use the race_list function to retrieve a list of race IDs for a specific year and month.

import keibascraper

# Get list of race IDs for July 2022
race_ids = keibascraper.race_list(2022, 7)

# Loop through race IDs and load entry data
for race_id in race_ids:
    race_info, entry_list = keibascraper.load("entry", race_id)
    # Process the data as needed
