GitHub - NolanFogarty/courtside: A terminal UI for viewing NBA games and scores.

A terminal UI for following NBA games, box scores, and standings. Browse the day's games, drill into a live or finished game for its full box score and play-by-play, jump to any date to see past results, and check the league standings. Games in progress refresh on their own while you watch. Data Courtside pulls directly from the NBA's public JSON endpoints via nba-sdk:

cdn.nba.com — the live "today" scoreboard stats.nba.com — scoreboard by date, traditional box scores, play-by-play, and league standings

These are unofficial, undocumented endpoints, so there's no API key or account required but they can change or rate-limit without notice. Live games auto-refresh roughly every 15 seconds.
