boxrec-client 🥊

A BoxRec client which fetches data from the BoxRec boxing website via web scraping in Node.js. Fetches return promise objects which will resolve with the fetched data if successful.

To run

Firstly, install the module

npm install boxrec-client --save-dev

Require the module using the following command:

var boxrecClient = require('boxrec-client');

Now use the following command to request a boxer's details. The function returns a promise which will resolve with the boxer details when fetch is complete:

boxrecClient.getBoxerById('474').then((boxer) => {
  console.log(boxer);
});

The returned boxer data will be an object in the following format
