Hi Guys,
When i tried to run this simple script:
from nba_py.player import PlayerList, PlayerGameLogs
players = PlayerList()
it came back to me with this message:

Error Message

_HTTPError Traceback (most recent call last)

HTTPError: 503 Server Error: Service Unavailable for url: http://stats.nba.com/stats/commonallplayers?LeagueID=00&Season=2016-17&IsOnlyCurrentSeason=1_

-End of Error Message-

I tried to click on the url at the very end of the error message just to check if the URL really was down or not, and it came back fine.

Any suggestions of what could be the problems? and what should i do?

Thank you,

On my phone so I'm just guessing here but if you paste that url directly into your browser does it return anything? I see the season is set to 2016-17 and IsOnlyCurrentSeason is set to 1 which probably doesn't make sense since the current season isn't 2016-17. Passing season='2017-18' into your PlayerList call might be enough!

Hi rneu31,
thanks for your reply.
I paste the url to my browser and it came back with a result, a long list of json text.
that was what confused me. i could access it through my browser, but couldn't through my code.

Regards,
