In nhlscraper: Scraper for National Hockey League Data

Get skaters' biographies by range of seasons

get_skaters() retrieves information on each skater for a given set of start_season and end_season, including but not limited to their ID, name, bio-metrics, and career statistics. Access get_seasons() for start_season and end_season references. Will soon be deprecated as get_players() can list all players and their IDs much more efficiently.

Arguments

start_season	integer in YYYYYYYY
end_season	integer in YYYYYYYY

Value

tibble with one row per skater

Examples

skaters_2000s <- get_skaters(start_season=20002001, end_season=20242025)
