Santafy

This repository contains the code presented in the blog post, The soccer player best suited to be Santa Claus. The blog post is part of the F# Advent Calendar in English 2017 and, as such, I thought it would be fitting with a Christmas theme. We'll use EA SPORTS FUT Database, Microsoft Cognitive Services and F# to find the soccer player best suited to be Santa Claus 🎅

Getting Started

The following assumes that F# and Paket are available.

1. Restore dependencies using Paket, e.g. paket restore or Paket: Restore in Ionide.
2. Get Face API Key and replace <insert key here> in Santafy.fsx.
3. Execute F# Script, Santafy.fsx.

The Face API has a rate limit that depends on your subscription, see Pricing Details. If you get Access Denied, you can fix it by throttling the requests by adding a delay.
