ESPN College Football Season Weeks

Description

Get the calendar of weeks ESPN tracks for a college football season type – each week's number, label, and start / end dates.

Usage

espn_cfb_season_weeks(year = NULL, season_type = 2)

Arguments

year	(Integer required): Season, 4 digit format (YYYY). Minimum value accepted: 1999
season_type	(Integer default 2): ESPN season type id. 2 = regular season (the only type with a meaningful week calendar), 3 = postseason, 1 = preseason.

Details

Wraps the ESPN core-v2 endpoint sports.core.api.espn.com/v2/sports/football/leagues/college-football/seasons/{year}/types/{season_type}/weeks. The index returns one ⁠$ref⁠ per week; this wrapper dereferences each and returns one row per week (~15-16 for a regular season). The week numbers returned here are the values espn_cfb_week_rankings() accepts.

Value

A data frame with one row per week:

col_name	types	description
season	integer	Season (4-digit year).
season_type	integer	ESPN season type id queried.
week	integer	Week number.
text	character	Week label (e.g. ⁠Week 1⁠, Bowls).
start_date	character	Week start timestamp (ISO 8601, UTC).
end_date	character	Week end timestamp (ISO 8601, UTC).
