WM-Scoreboard

Dieses Python-Script kompiliert die Match-Daten von einer ESPN-API (aktuelle Spiele und aktuelle Tore als Summe) und exportiert diese als TXT-Datei.
In meinem Fall ist es als Videolooper-App angelegt, bei dem die TXT-Datei in einen Imagemagick-Command incooperiert wird und am Ende mit FFMPEG als Videodatei (rotiert um 90 Grad) erstellt wird und über Videolooper abgespielt wird. Aktualisierung aller drei Minuten.

Fetches all FIFA World Cup 2026 results from the ESPN API,

sums every goal scored across the entire tournament,

and writes today's scores + overall total to txt.
