Scraping now fails - has oddsportal site changed?

[philbywalsh]

I've re-run some commands usingFinalScraper.py which now fail, despite these same commands completeing successfully in December

This is the error I get. The scripts looks to be cycling through pages and getting this error every time.

Page not found
This page not exist on Oddsportal.com!

Sample commands run:

• scrape_oddsportal_current_season(sport = 'soccer', country = 'england', league = 'premier-league', season = '2022', max_page = 20)
• scrape_oddsportal_historical(sport = 'soccer', country = 'england', league = 'premier-league', start_season = '2022-2023', nseasons = 1, current_season = 'yes', max_page = 25)
• scrape_oddsportal_historical(sport = 'soccer', country = 'world', league = 'world-cup', start_season = '2018', nseasons = 1, current_season = 'no', max_page = 2)

I note that the oddsportal site looks different visually and has the word "beta" in the logo.

Has the structure of the oddsportal site changed and hence resulted in these scraping fails?

Hello yes the site has changed and new version is in place. Unfortunately the old website is no longer available.

Hi @MathieuGery - Have you found a way to use this python scraper on the new oddsportal site?

Hi @philbywalsh I found that because I use my own scrapper to scrap the website and now it's broken
