Is there a way to use the blue alliance API to find the total amount of matches at an event?
“/event/{event_key}/matches” and count the number of elements returned in the API call. Should get you the answer. And you can add a filter in your code to count array elements that are labelled quals or playoff

also is there a way to create python code that updates data as soon as TBA data updates at an event?
Could be a better solution that I don’t know about, but the way I would do that would be to just keep making API calls. Request the data you want every x amount of time.
ok, thanks
You should be able to use the Cache-Control header (and should unless you just ignore 304 codes) to determine how long your data is valid for.
You probably want to look into webhooks
