Usage

get_player_stats_individual(..., progress = TRUE,
  strip_redundancy = TRUE, other = "")

progress	Sets a Progress Bar. Defaults to TRUE.
strip_redundancy	Removes variables name_, player_url_, and position_, as they're the same as name, player_url, and position. Defaults to TRUE.

Examples

# The function works in conjunction with get_teams() and get_player_stats_team()
teams <- get_teams("ohl", 2018)
stats_team <- get_player_stats_team(teams)
get_player_stats_individual(stats_team)

# The function also works in conjunction with get_drafts()
drafts <- get_drafts("nhl entry draft", 2018)
get_player_stats_individual(drafts)

# All functions are easily pipeable too
get_teams(c("shl", "allsvenskan"), 2009:2011) %>%
  get_player_stats_team(progress = TRUE) %>%
  get_player_stats_individual(strip_redundancy = FALSE)
  
# It's also easy to get player stats & bio information for only 1 team   
get_teams("ncaa iii", 2018) %>%
  filter(team == "Hamilton College") %>%
  get_player_stats_team() %>%
  get_player_stats_individual()
  
# Once you have your data, use tidyr::unnest() to view players' career statistics
get_teams("ncaa iii", 2015) %>%
  filter(team == "Hamilton College") %>%
  get_player_stats_team() %>%
  get_player_stats_individual() %>%
  tidyr::unnest(player_statistics)
