Getting scoreboard data into TV graphics
From the sports scoreboard to a live scorebug - scraping, REST and sync.
Typing scores by hand is a source of errors and delay. If the scoreboard or timing system exposes data anywhere, pull it automatically.
Where the data is
- Serial / network output - many boards send state over RS-232 or UDP.
- REST / web API - modern timing systems often expose live state.
- Results web page - when there is no API, scraping is the fallback.
Data flow
source -> parser -> JSON state -> graphics (vMix / HTML overlay)Debounce the source: filter invalid jumps, keep the last valid state, update only when stable.
