Getting the data

1. create a Kaggle account: https://www.kaggle.com/
2. get API keys and user name
   • Go to your account, and click on your profile in the top right
   • Then click on "Settings"
   • Scroll down to the API section and click on "Create New Token"
   • Get your username and API key from there

We have written a data loader function for you in the "nba/data_loader.py".This allows you to download the data with by running the script from the terminal. Run the following command in the terminal being at the root of the repository.

python nba/data_loader.py -u "your_user_name" -k "your_api_key" -d "wyattowalsh/basketball"

Replace "your_user_name" and "your_api_key" with your username and API key. This creates a json file at "~/.kaggle/kaggle.json" with your username and API key, which is used to authenticate your account and download the data.
