TBA already has an API, and the results web pages on the FIRST site, while ugly, are stable and easy to scrape data from.

That API you link to for TBA is old. When I last tried using it, it did not provide current data.

There is a new API for the new version of TBA. This API does not require an API key and returns data using json.

An example request URL is:

Going back to the topic of this thread, are there any plans to open source The FIRST Alliance?
