nhl_players_seasons: Retrieve selected seasons statistics for players

In nhlapi: A Minimum-Dependency 'R' Interface to the 'NHL' API

Description

Retrieve selected seasons statistics for players

Usage

nhl_players_seasons(playerNames, seasons, playerIds = NULL, playoffs = FALSE)

Arguments

playerNames	character(), vector of one or more player names. Not case sensitive for convenience.
seasons	numeric(), integer() or character(), vector of starting years of desired seasons in YYYY format, e.g. 1995 or "1995" for season 1995-1996. Accepts vectors such as c(1995:2000, 2010) to generate multiple seasons. Alternatively, also accepts character() with seasons in the format "YYYYZZZZ", where ZZZZ = YYYY + 1, e.g. "19951996". This is the format that ultimately gets sent to the NHL API. Some API endpoints, notably seasons exposed via nhl_seasons() also allow the value "current" to passed. This value will be returned unchanged.
playerIds	integer(), vector of one or more ids of the players. The ids correspond to the ids expected by the NHL API people endpoint. For most cases the playerNames argument can be provided for more convenient usage.
playoffs	logical(1), if FALSE (default) get the regular seasons data, if TRUE, get the data for the playoffs.

Value

data.frame, with selected season statistics for selected players.
