espnwrapper

An espncricinfo wrapper written in go to track scores in real time and in the cmd/cli you can find the Command Line Interface wrapped over this wrapper.

CLI Demo

Right now the CLI is not listing all the matches to choose from, but you can choose to track a particular match by entering a specific matchid by using command line flags.

Flags available are matchid and refresh. The matchid flag is the espncricinfo description for a specific match and you can find it in the match url. The default matchid is the wtc final which is between NZ and India matchid. The default refresh time is 1 second.

Use makefile to build CLI for your desktop.

make

This will return the available commands for the makefile. The help is self explanatory.

Usage:
  make [target...]

Useful commands:
  build                          build the binary(binary name- score) in the current working directory
  move                           move to /usr/bin so that you can use this binary anywhere.
  run                            run the CLI

Once you move the binary in your path so that it can be used from anywhere, you can use it like score -refresh 1 -matchid 1249875. The CLI is in very initial stage and has witnessed just a couple of hours of code after the idea.
