ESPN College Football Seasons Index

Description

Get the index of every college football season ESPN tracks in its core-v2 API, with each season's start and end dates.

Usage

espn_cfb_seasons()

Details

Wraps the ESPN core-v2 endpoint sports.core.api.espn.com/v2/sports/football/leagues/college-football/seasons. The index is ⁠$ref⁠-paginated; this wrapper walks every page, dereferences each season ⁠$ref⁠, and returns one row per season. ESPN's CFB season coverage runs back to the early 1900s, so the table is long – filter on season for the years you need. Use espn_cfb_season_info() for the full per-season detail (season types, rankings, awards, futures refs).

Value

A data frame with one row per season:

col_name	types	description
season	integer	Season (4-digit year).
display_name	character	ESPN display name for the season.
start_date	character	Season start timestamp (ISO 8601, UTC).
end_date	character	Season end timestamp (ISO 8601, UTC).
season_ref	character	⁠$ref⁠ URL to the season resource.
