Live Cricket Score — VS Code Extension

View live cricket scores and scorecards directly inside VS Code, without leaving your editor.

Features

• Live match scores in the sidebar — teams, score, overs, status
• Detailed scorecard for the selected match (batting + bowling)
• Match selector dropdown for switching between active matches
• Manual refresh button
• Loading & error states handled gracefully
• Works in any workspace

How It Works

1. Install the extension
2. Click the Live Cricket icon in the Activity Bar
3. See live scores instantly

The extension connects to a backend service that provides normalised match data. No API keys or setup required from the user.

Extension Settings

For local development, override serviceUrl to http://localhost:3456 in your workspace settings.

Backend

The extension requires a lightweight backend proxy that holds the cricket data provider API key securely. See the backend/ folder for the ready-to-deploy Express server.

Create backend/.env:

RAPIDAPI_KEY=your-rapidapi-key
PORT=3456

cd backend
npm install
npm start
