API access

Science Untangled runs an API that allows developers to generate match and team reports, convert match files to csv format, generate league leaderboards, and more. For details, please get in touch!

The openvolley project

Much of the code that powers the Science Untangled apps is available as open-source R packages. If you are a programmer wanting to write your own analytical code and apps, this is a great place to start. These packages provide functionality for every step of the analytical pipeline:

• scouting matches using the ovscout2 Shiny app (or you can use commercial scouting software to do this, or a match scouting service)
• reading .dvw, .vsm, and other match files into R with the datavolley and peranavolley packages
• and then using other openvolley packages and the broader R package ecosystem to analyze your data, create video playlists, produce match reports, team breakdowns, charts, heatmaps, and more.

See the openvolley GitHub pages — in particular, the datavolley package and code snippets collection.

Python users will also be interested in the pydatavolley package, which provides basic (but growing) functionality for Python.
