Hi,
I recently came across this project while doing some research as I'm trying to build something similar with the end goal of creating a "Tippspiel" (something like SRF does for the world cup) to play with my friends.
Obviously I need to be able to get the results of the Schwingfester in order to award points in the game. My current approach is parsing the PDFs with a script and extracting the data to a json which then in turn will be loaded into the database. Unfortunately there seem to be a lot of edge cases and I have not gotten it stable yet.
Since you have been able to extract basically all the data from the past 10 years I was wondering if you have some tips to share on how to reliably get the results into the database. Do you also parse the PDFs or do you have access to some API I don't know about?
If you have some time, I would really appreciate some insights.
