How to Automatically Collect and 스포츠중계 Organize Sports Highlights Like a Pro

If you're constantly looking for game highlights, why not automate the whole process? Whether you're a content creator, a sports enthusiast, or someone who just loves efficiency, building an automated system to collect and organize highlights can save time and give you fast access to all the action.

Here’s a step-by-step guide to creating a fully automated sports highlight system.

✅ STEP 1: Choose Your Highlight Sources

The first step is to define where your highlight videos are coming from. Your automation will be built around these sources.

Common sources include:

YouTube (official channels like NBA, ESPN, Sky Sports)
Twitter/X (league or team accounts)
Highlight blogs with RSS feeds
Sports highlight APIs (e.g., ScoreBat, RapidAPI Sports Video)

✅ STEP 2: Automate the Collection Process

???? Option A: IFTTT + YouTube RSS

Get the RSS feed of the YouTube channel:
https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=CHANNEL_ID
Use IFTTT:
- Trigger: New video uploaded
- Action: Save to Google Sheets, Notion, Dropbox, Email, or Telegram

???? Option B: Zapier + YouTube API

Use Zapier to detect new uploads from a specific channel
Save video details to Notion or Google Drive
Include title, video URL, and publish date

???? Option C: Twitter/X Automation

Use Zapier or IFTTT to monitor keywords like “highlight,” “goal,” or specific team hashtags
Automatically store tweet links or send notifications

✅ STEP 3: Organize and Store the Highlights

Now that you’ve collected highlights, create a smart structure for storing and finding them later.

Recommended file structure:

Google Drive: Year / Month / League / Team
Notion or Airtable DB: Columns like
Date | League | Match | Video Title | Link | Duration

✅ STEP 4: Auto Tagging & Thumbnail Saving (Advanced)

To make your library more visual and searchable:

Use the YouTube video title to auto-generate tags
Save thumbnail using:
https://img.youtube.com/vi/VIDEO_ID/maxresdefault.jpg

You can automate this with a little Python script or Zapier's “Code by Zapier” feature.

✅ STEP 5: Real-Time Notifications (Optional)

Want to be instantly notified of new highlights?

Use Pushbullet, Discord, Slack, or Telegram to receive alerts
Link it with your automation tools (IFTTT/Zapier)

???? Bonus Tip: Use the ScoreBat API

If you’re a football (soccer) fan, ScoreBat is an amazing resource for automatic highlight feeds.

API Link: https://www.scorebat.com/video-api/

It gives you:

Video link
Title
Thumbnail
Date and time
League and match info

You can integrate it into any automation platform or fetch it periodically via script.
