espn_cfb_venues: *ESPN College Football Venues Index*

In cfbfastR: Access College Football Play by Play Data

ESPN College Football Venues Index

Description

Get the catalog of stadiums and venues ESPN tracks for college football, with location, capacity-related flags, and addresses.

Usage

espn_cfb_venues(max_results = 200)

Arguments

max_results

(Integer default 200): Maximum number of venues to dereference and return.

Details

Wraps the ESPN core-v2 endpoint sports.core.api.espn.com/v2/sports/football/leagues/college-football/venues. The index is ⁠$ref⁠-paginated and large (~911 venues). Dereferencing every venue is hundreds of HTTP calls, so this wrapper caps the walk at max_results venues (default 200) – raise it to pull more, or set it high enough to harvest the whole catalog in one (slow) call. Pages are walked in id order, so the same max_results always returns the same prefix of the catalog.

Value

A data frame with one row per venue:

col_name	types	description
venue_id	character	ESPN venue id.
full_name	character	Venue full name (e.g. ⁠Tenney Stadium⁠).
city	character	Venue city.
state	character	Venue state.
zip_code	character	Venue postal code.
country	character	Venue country.
grass	logical	TRUE if the playing surface is grass.
indoor	logical	TRUE if the venue is indoors.
venue_ref	character	⁠$ref⁠ URL to the venue resource.
