WNBA Stats API Endpoint Overview

Description

Wrappers around the WNBA Stats backend at stats.wnba.com/stats/.... All requests go through request_with_proxy() in utils_wnba_stats.R which sets the required WNBA-side headers (⁠Origin: https://stats.wnba.com⁠, ⁠Referer: https://www.wnba.com/⁠) and threads a proxy via getOption("wehoop.proxy") / env vars / explicit ⁠proxy =⁠ arg.

WNBA-specific differences vs the NBA Stats API: quarters are 10 minutes (not 12), regulation is 40 minutes (not 48), game IDs start with "10", LeagueID = "10".
