Re: [backstage] New Government APIs (plus win 20k to develop your mashup idea)
Thank you very much Adam ! I will try to contact to FA or other premier league Co. lets see if I can find a free source. I have been looking for a source, where I can read All football clubs and national teams and football score information via web services. However, I could not find one yet. I can use Wiki to get football players details but I need to a free source, where I can get football scores and league table info. I cannot effort paying for this as the website is not commercial website. it is just a football discussion sites, where all friends and football fan can have their talks. regards, Rafiq From: Adam Sent: Wednesday, July 02, 2008 3:14 PM To: backstage@lists.bbc.co.uk Subject: Re: [backstage] New Government APIs (plus win 20k to develop your mashup idea) I doubt you have very little chance with the BBC as i think they republished information maintained by a third party who have very strict distribution rules. Your probably better trying to talk to the FA. Alternativly there is the following message at the bottom of the fixture list, however its probably very expensive to purchase the rights.

Re: [backstage] New Government APIs (plus win 20k to develop your mashup idea)
MediaWiki provides the content of the site as database, which is for non-commercial purposes. Do you think, it is ok if I used it for my website, which I am not making money from. It is just there for my friends and football lovers to discuss about up coming matches and passed matches.I need to find all football clubs and football players info/profile. I am just thinking of download MediaWiki database and run it locally on my web server.I hope it is ok as i am not making money from the website. I am happy to mentioned the content e.g. powered by wiki etc.. regards, Rafiq From: Andrew Bowden Sent: Wednesday, July 02, 2008 3:45 PM To: backstage@lists.bbc.co.uk Subject: RE: [backstage] New Government APIs (plus win 20k to develop your mashup idea) I'm not sure you'll find anything free - as I recall there were a several incidents a few years ago where the data owners went after websites who were putting tables and fixtures up without paying a licence fee. But you never know. -- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rafiq Swash Sent: 02 July 2008 15:26 To: backstage@lists.bbc.co.uk Subject: Re: [backstage] New Government APIs (plus win 20k to develop your mashup idea) Thank you very much Adam !
