[Bug]: gameStatus and gameStatusText not updating (scoreboardV3)

[kermitine]

NBA API Version

1.11.3

Issue

I'm trying to build a tool which basically sends you emails/other info about NBA games, mainly when they start, and if there are any games of interest.

However, using the ScoreBoardV3 endpoint, gameStatus and gameStatusText don't seem to update, being stuck on 1, and the tip off time for the game. This makes it impossible to check whether the game has started through this method.

Code

games = scoreboardv3.ScoreboardV3(game_data=current_date) game_status_pd = games.get_data_frames()[1]

Alright, so it does seem to work, but it seems pretty slow (~10-15 minutes late). Is there something on my end that can be done

Hi,

I investigated this and was able to narrow down the behavior:

• The values returned by ScoreboardV3 are already stale in the raw response (nba_response.get_dict()), and match exactly through dataset extraction and DataFrame conversion, so this does not appear to be a parsing issue in nba_api.
• Resetting the HTTP session (NBAStatsHTTP.set_session(None)) did not change the result.
• In contrast, nba_api.live.nba.endpoints.scoreboard reflects the correct in-game state, but it uses a different upstream endpoint (cdn.nba.com vs stats.nba.com).

This suggests the discrepancy originates from the stats endpoint itself rather than the library.

I would be happy to work on this, if anyone has more pointers.
