Introduction

This project extracts visit-level scoring and match-flow data directly from the DartConnect Match Center JSON/API. It solves the gap between simple final scores and the rich throw-by-throw insights analysts need. Ideal for performance modeling, coaching analytics, statistical breakdowns, and automated weekly updates.

Why Visit-Level Darts Data Matters

• Pinpoints momentum shifts and high-value visits that shape match outcomes.
• Enables advanced modeling of scoring consistency and pressure handling.
• Supports historical trend analysis across players, tournaments, or seasons.
• Automates recurring data updates without manual lookup.
• Gives analysts clean, structured JSON ready for downstream metrics.
