Hockey Game Bot Live

Live on X & Bluesky. Recaps everywhere else.

A production bot that monitors every live NHL game and posts goals, penalties, and animated GIFs to X and Bluesky in real time — then publishes recap videos to YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram, linked back from both feeds.

Every moment, every game

The bot watches every NHL game simultaneously and posts automatically — no manual intervention required.

    Instant goal alerts with scorer, assists, time, period, and updated score. Animated goal GIFs generated and attached automatically.

    Every penalty posted with player, infraction type, duration, and team. Power play and shorthanded situations tracked in real time.

Built to run unattended

  1. 01

    Poll the NHL API

    The Python bot polls the NHL Stats API every 5 seconds during live games, detecting new play-by-play events as they happen.

  2. 02

    Generate assets

    For goal events, animated GIFs are generated with FFmpeg and uploaded to Backblaze B2 storage for attachment to posts.

  3. 03

    Publish in real time

    Goal and penalty posts go out simultaneously to X, Bluesky, and Discord via their respective APIs. Recap videos are posted separately to YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram, then linked from the live feeds.

  4. 04

    Feed the apps

    Events are also published to a Cloudflare Workers API backed by D1, powering companion iOS and Android apps with live push notifications.
