Re: FRC Event Data in XML Format
http://frcfeed.appspot.com/2009/ct/q...ations/results

Code:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/base/python_lib/versions/1/google/appengine/ext/webapp/__init__.py", line 507, in __call__
    handler.get(*groups)
  File "/base/data/home/apps/frcfeed/3.337367731534012182/FRCFeed.py", line 160, in get
    self.get_results(request)
  File "/base/data/home/apps/frcfeed/3.337367731534012182/FRCFeed.py", line 129, in get_results
    self.response.out.write(toXML(self,data[request["When"].capitalize()+' Matches'],'Match'))
KeyError: 'Qualifications Matches'
FIRST substantially overhauled their web site, which breaks a lot of TBA's automated schedule, match results, and attendance scraping. I very well may end up using frcfeed as an input to TBA, given that it produces data in such a cleaner format than FIRST does.

Would it be possible to produce JSON instead of XML? It's easier to parse in many situations.

[s]Also, how frequently is this data refreshed? Do you generate it live off FIRST's servers, or are you caching it?[/s]
I see there's a one minute cache time.

Thanks!
