Realtime Results Scraper

A Rust CLI tool to parse swimming meet results from HY-TEK Realtime Results pages. (Ex: https://swimmeetresults.tech/NCAA-Division-I-Men-2025/)

Pass a meet URL to scrape all events, or a specific event URL.

Expected format: Standard HyTek meet results pages where the index displays all events, and each link is a .htm file containing one event's results.

Some pages that contain formatting like US masters results, where each link contains results from multiple events, will not work with this package.

Prerequisites

Requires Rust. Install via rustup:

curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs | sh

Install

From crates.io:

cargo install realtime_results_scraper

Or build from source:

git clone https://github.com/ChrisHarig/realtime_results_scraper
cd realtime_results_scraper
cargo build --release

Usage

To scrape a meet just copy the URL and paste in the command line.

To grab a specific event's URL, go to the index on the left side of a meet page, ctrl+click and select "copy link address', then paste in to the command line.

There are three optional flags detailed below.

# Parse entire meet
realtime_results_scraper <MEET_URL>

# Parse single event
realtime_results_scraper <EVENT_URL>

# Output to stdout instead of CSV
realtime_results_scraper -o stdout <URL>

# Only include top N placements
realtime_results_scraper -t 8 <URL>

# Disable metadata output
realtime_results_scraper --no-metadata <URL>

# Show help
realtime_results_scraper --help

Output

The default ouput format is csv, but this can be changed to stdout.

Meet URL creates:

MeetName_datetime_random/
├── EventName_datetime_random/
│   ├── results_EventName_datetime_random.csv
│   └── metadata_EventName_datetime_random.csv
...

Event URL creates:

MeetName_datetime_random/
└── EventName_datetime_random/
    ├── results_EventName_datetime_random.csv
    └── metadata_EventName_datetime_random.csv

Each folder/file includes a unique timestamp and random suffix to prevent overwrites.
