OpenClaw setup for college baseball score updates with Telegram alerts
A developer on r/openclaw shared their practical OpenClaw implementation for getting college baseball score updates without relying on existing apps.
Setup Details
The flow uses OpenAI OAuth for the model and follows basic setup steps over Telegram. The developer reports having it working "pretty quickly" after implementation.
Core Functionality
- Checks Arizona State University (ASU) and Georgia Tech (GT) baseball games approximately every 8 minutes
- Pulls data from ESPN's college baseball scoreboard API
- Only sends alerts when something changes: inning updates, score changes, or final results
- Delivers notifications to Telegram
Additional Features
The developer also implemented daily automations for social updates and a quick game-day brief. They note this approach has been "way better than bouncing between apps and refresh tabs all game."
The post concludes by asking other developers about their cadence and data source combinations for similar projects.
