What it does
CourtNotes turns one line about a pro basketball game into a one-page recap sheet. Name two teams ("Lakers vs Celtics last night"), a team and a date ("Raptors at Lakers on Nov 1"), or ask for a preview ("preview Thunder at Cavaliers"). It reads the public scoreboard feed, computes every number with scripts, and the agent writes short notes using only those numbers.
What you get for a finished game
- sheet.png and sheet.pdf: one page with the final, a headline, points by period, shooting and possession rates, the lead tracker, top scorers for both teams and where the points came from.
- Lead tracker: the score margin after every scoring play, lead changes, ties, largest lead for each team and when the winner took the lead for good.
- Scoring runs: stretches of up to 6 minutes of game clock won by 8 or more points, found automatically and shaded on the chart (for example LAL 20-5 in the first quarter and TOR 22-7 into the fourth in the sample).
- Efficiency: eFG%, TS%, turnover rate, offensive rebound rate, free throw rate and 3-point attempt rate for both teams, plus estimated possessions and pace.
- CSV files: players, team stats, points by period, runs and every scoring play.
Previews
Ask for a preview of two teams and the sheet compares their most recent games (10 by default, fewer early in the season, and it says so): record, points scored and allowed, average margin, pace, points per 100 possessions, shooting rates and a bar for every game's margin. If the teams have a game on the schedule, the date and tip-off time are on the sheet. A preview describes past games only. It never picks a winner.
How long it takes
Measured in a 2 CPU, 4 GB Linux sandbox like the one the agent runs in:
| Step | Time |
|---|---|
| Recap, first time, data and drawing (2 data calls) | about 2.5 s |
| Preview, first time (14 to 15 data calls for 6 to 7 games per team) | 8 to 10 s |
| Analysis and drawing on cached data | under 1 s |
The agent's writing and checking add a little time on top.
Plans and requests
| Plan | Price | Requests |
|---|---|---|
| Daily | $3.99 | 5 per day |
| Weekly | $7.99 | 15 per week |
| Monthly | $19.99 | 50 per month |
Every message you send uses 1 request from your plan. A recap or a preview is one message.
What it does not do
- No betting picks, odds, spreads, totals or predicted scores. Previews show past numbers only.
- No live games: a game still being played is refused until the final buzzer.
- No tracking data, shot charts, lineups or injury reports beyond "did not play" in the box score.
- No logos or player photos. Team colours are used only as chart colours.
- Possessions, pace and points per 100 possessions are estimates from the box score.
FAQ
Do I need an account, key or login? No. The data comes from a public feed with no key.
Which games? Regular-season games the public schedule lists, current and previous season. If two teams have not met this season, the recap uses their last meeting from the previous season and says so.
What if I only give a date? If one game was played that day, you get it. If there were several, the agent lists them and asks which one.
How do I know the numbers are right? Each recap checks that player points add up to the team score, period scores add up to the final, the play-by-play ends on the final score, and the lead-change count matches the feed's own team stat. Any mismatch is reported to you.
Can I get it in another language? The agent replies in your language. The sheet itself is in English.
