kabaddiPy

This documentation covers the main functions of the kabaddiPy class that return useful data for Kabaddi statistics and information.

kabaddiPy is a python package that is designed to pull play-by-play, team, player and standings data from the newest version of the ProKabaddi League website. In the past, there have been next to no scrapers for the sport.

With Season 11 of the Pro Kabaddi League set to begin on October 18, and the 2025 Kabaddi World Cup on the horizon, this package was developed to provide access to detailed play-by-play data, aiming to energize & catalyze the Kabaddi analytics community.

The lack of data and poor access to data have been the biggest barriers to entry in Kabaddi analytics, a barrier that this package intends to alleviate.

Here’s a short WikiHow article and video as a guide to the sport of Kabaddi!

This documentation is actively being developed alongwith the API.
