Make it your own

Your files, your workflow
Historical snapshot. Room to keep exploring.
The included historical files work offline after setup. The optional current-season notebook fetches new data through your own API key; API access and its shared football/basketball quota remain separate from the download.
Model Training remains planned. The March Madness page covers the historical 2026 edition; neither is bundled with this Starter Pack.
What you’ll need
- Python 3.12 and installation of the included dependencies; historical notebooks then work offline.
- A personal CBBD API key for the optional current-season download notebook.
What’s separate
- API subscriptions, higher quotas, and Patreon membership.
- Automatic live updates and an included 2026–27 schedule.
- Play-by-play, lineup, and substitution datasets.
- Personalized development support or guaranteed prediction results.
