Important Roles

I was firstly responsible for finding my own API function to introduce. I have chosen an API called api-sports as you can track from issue #79. The details of the API and functionality I have introduced will be described later in this section.

My second responsibility was to help the team choose the frameworks to use as can be tracked from issue #81. I took initiative as a more experienced team member and led the discussion around the framework selection. I have researched the frameworks that I was not familiar with and introduced them to the team. At last, we have decided to use Django and React for backend and frontend, respectively.

Moreover, since I was more familiar with backend development, I taught other team members what postman is and how to use it. It can be tracked from issue #82. I prepared a tutorial for the team. In addition, I have prepared the docker environment for team to be in sync as can be tracked from issue #87. Lastly, I took part in frontend development and created UIs for the backend as can be tracked from issue #112.

Utilized third party API (Sports API)

the API I have chosen is API-Sports. This api is a sports API which provides data about various sports such as basketball, football, handball, etc.. I have chosen the football endpoint for my own use whose documentation can be found here. There are several endpoints.

• Timezones: Information about different time zones.
• Seasons: Information about different football seasons.
• Countries: Information about different countries where football is played.
• Leagues: Information about different football leagues.
• Teams: Information about different football teams.
• Standings: Information about the standings of different teams in different leagues.
• Fixtures: Information about scheduled football matches.
• Events: Information about specific events in football matches.

I have decided to use standings endpoint to fetch and display the different standings in different countries.

Route

Only route I have used is: https://v3.football.api-sports.io/standings?season=2022&league=39 You need api key for this call but I am not going to expose my own since it has low amount of limit.

Explanation

This route fetches standings in 2022 season in league with 39 id(Premier League). I have used this route with different leagues(5 league, 1 season).

Challenges

• Late branches: Some of teammates finished their works very late so I couldn't managed the finish their work on last day.
• PR's without tests: Some features pushed to the development without being tested so it blocked our process when we found out they didn't work.
