Summary

Boxing data is scarce and fragmented, with limited sources of truth. A project was created to automate retrieving data from BoxRec and enriching it with CompuBox data, providing insights such as a boxer's record, defense, accuracy, and age-related effects on performance. An API was developed using FastAPI, adhering to OpenAPI standards, allowing users to access the data by sending the name of a boxer. A Software Development Kit (SDK) was created to enable seamless integration with liblab, an SDK as a service platform, ensuring the API conforms to OpenAPI standards and simplifying the development process. The project aims to provide a valuable resource for machine learning, game development, and other applications that require boxing data analysis.
