A server-side program, which gathers data on all soccer matches daily, and creates a stylized image containing info on today's matches (e.g. kick-off time and broadcasters).

• Python 3.6 or higher
• PostgreSQL: How to Install PostgreSQL and phpPgAdmin on Ubuntu 20.04
• Install necessary packages using pipenv install. Run pip install pipenv if you don't have it installed. Full instructions for installing and using pipenv is provided here. Also have a look at their github if you are interested.

To activate the project's virtualenv, run pipenv shell. Alternatively, run commands inside the virtualenv with pipenv run.

python Soccertoday.py

The result is saved (by default) in results/<date>.html (e.g. 2021-03-18.html). You can specify wether if you also want a png image created as an argument, similarly the image is also saved in results/<date>.png. The image creation is supported by Selenium and Chromium's ChromeDriver. Do not use if you don't or can't have ChromeDriver with Chromium browser (e.g. on windows). (Note that regular Chrome browser does not work! Chromium is essential.)

• Use --telegram argument to also attach a Telegram Bot. You need to pass your api token and chat ID into configs.
• If you wish only for html results and don't want png image to be created. Use the --noimage argument and give another try.
• Use the --config argument, to go through configuration wizard again. Alternatively, you can manually edit the config.json file.

Our program uses a PostgreSQL database. See here for installing PostgreSQL along with phppgadmin administration tool on Ubuntu.

sudo -i -u postgres psql

CREATE DATABASE footballemrooz WITH TEMPLATE = template0 ENCODING = 'UTF8' LOCALE = 'en_US.UTF-8';

Additional setups like creating tables are done automatically in the program. (Stored in dbtables.sql)
