ESPN Basketball Endpoint Overview (NBA + MBB)

Description

Wrappers around ESPN's basketball endpoints. Two parallel families share a common set of internal helpers in R/espn_basketball_*.R:

⁠espn_nba_*()⁠ — ESPN NBA wrappers
⁠espn_mbb_*()⁠ — ESPN men's college basketball wrappers

Each public wrapper is a thin shim over an internal helper that takes a league argument ("nba" or "mens-college-basketball"); the helper does the actual HTTP call + parsing.

HTTP layer

ESPN wrappers call .retry_request() directly without ..., so per-call proxy overrides aren't supported. Use options(hoopR.proxy = ...) or the http_proxy / https_proxy env vars for proxy routing.
