Is there anyway to poll a specific player/Athelete Stat for NHL? I'm tracking Ovechkins goals and would love a card that could show the goal counter, but unable to find anything through research to pull specific nhl player data through player id or anything else. |

Here is a list of tons of APIs for the NFL including several for player stats. You should be able to get them to work for the NHL just by changing the football and nfl portion of the URLs. Looks like there are some where you can pass the player ID and others that will give you a list of leaders for specific stats. Good luck. https://gist.github.com/nntrn/ee26cb2a0716de0947a0a4e9a157bc1c |

You can't use Teamtracker with this API. Teamtracker is set up specifically for the scoreboard APIs. You would have to set up your own RESTful sensor in Home Assistant with the URL as the resource and a value template to pull out the info you want. There are a lot of examples on how to set up a sensor and use a value template to pull out the info you want. You could probably also use the player API if you only wanted O's stats. You can just copy and paste the URL into your browser or click on the link to see the JSON that is returned and that will help you set up your rest sensor to pull the info you want out. I pasted a subset of it below and you can see G's 894 and O's 872 so it wouldn't be hard to pull that out. It looks like you would have to call another API for the play to get their name automatically. You can copy and paste all of the JSON returned into this online JSON parser to see what data you want to extract from it. https://jsonparser.org/. It helps to figure out what you want in the value template. |

See my response above. Teamtracker only works w/ the ESPN scoreboard API. You have to create your own RESTful sensor to pull this info. Here is another API just for O's stats. You could use either depending on what you want to do. |

np. Good luck. If you need more help, ChatGPT has been getting better and better at HA questions and might be able to point you in the right direction in building the YAML for the sensor if you give it a sample of the JSON you need to parse. |
