data request - teams, nations, leagues

[josepk54]

Hello.

I'm doing something non-autobuyer related (i'm a good 18-months clean now and loving my spare time - I don't even have Fifa 15) and i'm looking for a nice structured set of teams names and the leagues and nations to which they belong. I propose procuring this information from the EA web app, so I was wondering if anyone can point me to a URL that probably exists containing this?

(Like http://cdn.content.easports.com/fif...-06A61A62EBC0/2015/fut/items/web/players.json for the players)

p.s. I did search the forum

I think I posted those lists for Fifa 14, I can send you the updated ones tomorrow.
There are JSON files (like the players) and XML files (translations), but none of them seem to be completely right, so I matched them with market data.

Teams: Nations: Leagues:
Welcome back

Thanks very much - this is exactly what I was looking for.

Although, I'm disappointed that I'll need to put in a little effort myself to identify which nations the leagues come from

If you can understand ColdFusion and still need it then this is what I use to import leagues and teams (assigning nations to the leagues)...

Only beware JSON and XML have different data and none of them is completely correct, I had to mix them and verify on the market.

Thanks guys - this should give me an excellent start.

The localization scripts (https://www.easports.com/iframe/fut...xml/localization/messages.en_GB.xml?cl=144469 ) should give loads of permutations too - definite differences between en_GB, de_DE, es_ES for example.
