In Metlover/owlstats: OWL API Wrapper and other OW Analytics functions

owlstats

R Package. Originally an OWL API Wrapper, but that functionality has been scrapped in order to allow access to more advanced statistics through the OWL Statslab.

Installation

Use devtools to get the latest version.

devtools::install_github('Metlover/owlstats')

Please update weekly during the season to get the latest values and match results. These are manual uploads and I try to process them Tuesday nights after homestands.

Use

Originally written as a scraping package, the advent of bulk csv downloads of more advanced data through the OWL Statslab allowed a faster workload and functionality with better data. For this purpose, I have downloaded and updated previous season's Statslab datasets.

Examples

#Fetch statistics for San Francisco Shock players by map
hero_vals = owlstats::hero_vals[hero_vals$team_id == 4404,]

#Create a MySQL database with OWL API Stats
library(RMySQL)
mydb = dbConnect(MySQL(), user='user',password='password',dbname='owl',host='host)
buildOWDB(mydb)
