Football (soccer) score updates

Using the data gathered from BBC Sport, football (soccer) updates are posted to a user account where any Twitter users can recieve updates on their favourite team.

Get the latest football scores by subscribing to notifications from our Twitter users. Using Twitter means you can have a choice of delivery mechanisms, including RSS and SMS, all for free!

If you'd like to have a team added, I'll be happy to do so. Email me at latest-scores-twitter@googlegroups.com

More details

The Twitter Results twitterbot consists of a Python script (tweet_results.py) which is executed periodically by a Cron job. The script imports a configuration file (tweet_results_config.py) which specifies the RSS feed sources and defines the Twitter feeds to be notified.

The script is called like this:

python tweet_results.py TWITTERPASSWORD LEAGUE [>> logfile.txt]

for example:

python tweet_results.py password nba >> logfile.txt
