ESPN College Football Season Types

Description

Get the set of season types (preseason, regular season, postseason, off-season) ESPN tracks for a college football season, including each type's date window and capability flags.

Usage

espn_cfb_season_types(year = NULL)

Arguments

year	(Integer required): Season, 4 digit format (YYYY). Minimum value accepted: 1872

Details

Wraps the ESPN core-v2 endpoint sports.core.api.espn.com/v2/sports/football/leagues/college-football/seasons/{year}/types. The index returns one ⁠$ref⁠ per season type; this wrapper dereferences each and returns one row per type (typically four: 1 preseason, 2 regular season, 3 postseason, 4 off-season). The season_type ids returned here are the values other Batch 5 wrappers (espn_cfb_season_weeks(), espn_cfb_groups(), espn_cfb_standings(), espn_cfb_week_rankings()) accept as their season_type argument.
