ValueError: Could not find a game with that id.

[Hisairnessag3]

Whats causing this? Just started happening.

code:

import mlbgame
stats = mlbgame.player_stats('2014_06_07_miamlb_chnmlb_1')

for player in stats.home_batting:
print(player.h)

@Hisairnessag3 It appears that the game id is invalid, or there is no way to get data for that game. Either way, it appears that mlb does not have any stats information for that game id. My guess is that the game was cancelled (or something of the like) and therefore does not have any stats data.

[Hisairnessag3]

uh, I would take a look.

this code breaks with the same error:

def year_games(year):
y = mlbgame.games(year)
games = mlbgame.combine_games(y)
for game in games:
print (game.game_id)

return games

games = year_games(2017)
for game in games:

stats = mlbgame.player_stats(game.game_id)
for player in stats.home_batting:
    print(player.h)

latest version as well. Have tried the individual game ids also obviously.

@Hisairnessag3 Can you tell me what the game_status is for the games that are breaking?

FINAL

[trevor-viljoen]

It's an issue with GAME_URL. There is an extra / added which creates an invalid URL.

[trevor-viljoen]

It looks like MLB made some changes to how they serve out the files. You can no longer browse directory structure of gd2.mlb.com. If you request the url with the extra /, you get something like this:

<Error>
<Code>NoSuchKey</Code>
<Message>The specified key does not exist.</Message>
<Key>
gameday/components/game/mlb/year_2014/month_06/day_07//gid_2014_06_07_miamlb_chnmlb_1/boxscore.xml
</Key>

If you remove the extra /, you can retrieve the file. Another option is to use: http://gd-terr-origin.mlb.com/components/game/mlb/ instead of http://gd2.mlb.com/coponents/game/mlb/.

Fixed in #51 and will be included in the next release coming soon.

Work around for anyone looking to continue pulling the yearly Batting and Pitching files... Add an extra forward slash / at the end of the URI
