This week, we published extracts of Major League Soccer’s roster profile releases to our GitHub. In addition to parsing the information the league provides about each club’s roster construction and each player’s contract status, we’ve also matched the teams and players to their respective American Soccer Analysis ID. For our fellow programmers and spreadsheet enthusiasts, this provides a link to performance, salary, and other publicly available data, which continues to be accessible through resources like itscalledsoccer.

In the same repository, we’ve open-sourced the code used to produce these extracts. Users are encouraged to report any bugs, recommend improvements, and/or contribute themselves.

Looking ahead, we also intend to incorporate this data into the application, as well as keep pace with future releases from MLS HQ. Stay tuned for those updates.
