Data
Everything is sourced from the public NBL "rosetta" API (prod.rosetta.nbl.com.au), which fronts Genius Sports' stats. No API key — the proxy is referer-gated, so the pipeline sends an nbl.com.au Origin/Referer. pipeline/build-data.mjs pulls seasons, ladders, fixtures, finals, rosters and per-player box scores (which it also aggregates into season averages and reconstructs into per-match box scores), and writes the JSON datasets under web/public/data/. The NBL has no shot-chart feed in this API, so there are no shot charts.
Tech
- Next.js (App Router) + TypeScript + React 19, exported as a static site for GitHub Pages
- Tailwind v4 + a small CSS design system
- SEO: per-page metadata, Open Graph/Twitter,
sitemap.ts, robots.ts, manifest.ts, JSON-LD
- Datasets are generated into JSON the pages read at build time; an optional global leaderboard runs on a Cloudflare Worker

Deploy (GitHub Pages)
Pushing to main runs .github/workflows/deploy.yml, which builds the static export and publishes it to GitHub Pages. The custom domain nbl33-0.com is set via a CNAME file in web/public and the repo's Pages settings; DNS for the domain is managed in Cloudflare (apex A records to GitHub Pages, www CNAME to the Pages host). .github/workflows/refresh.yml re-runs the pipeline weekly in season and commits fresh data.
