nhl_url_tournaments: Create an NHL API URL for tournaments

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

Description

Create an NHL API URL for tournaments

Usage

nhl_url_tournaments(tournamentTypes, seasons = NULL, expand = NULL)

Arguments

tournamentTypes	character(), vector of one or more tournament types. Currently supported types seem to be "playoffs" "olympics" "worldCup" Those are exposed via shorthand functions nhl_tournaments_playoffs() nhl_tournaments_olympics() nhl_tournaments_worldcups()
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.
expand	character(), of parameters passed as expand to the API URL. Two valid examples seem to be "round.series" and "schedule.game.seriesSummary". NULL for no expand parameter.

Value

character(), API URLs, same length as combinations of tournamentTypes, seasons and expand.
