In this video, we describe a very easy way to automatically scrape NFL data from a popular website: www.pro-football-reference.com
We use Python together with Pandas to read HTML tables and download the data to local storage
UPDATE (8/4/2024): pro-football-reference.com has changed their rate limits to 10 requests per minute. This means that the Python code that *pauses* the program should now be random.randint(7, 8). If your program exceeds this new rate limit, it can be put in "jail" for 24 hours.
