getLogIDsComptf: Scrap comp.tf event pages for logs IDs

In sidjai/tf2statr: Scraping TF2 Stats to get Aggregate Insights

Description

This goes to a given comp.tf website and grabs logs for the first bracket listed or the <insert season entry>. This links to the 'data/eventArchive' JSON archive so that comp.tf is not queried multiple times. However, sometimes the log IDs need to be updated in the situation with an ongoing event. If the event is in the archive it will ask the user if they want to update the entry which would do the whole process like it was a new entry. With a new entry, by default, this archive is updated with a new entry. The difference between the archive and the ids are that the JSON archive returns a list with the names of the tournament while the function returns a named character vector for ease of throwing into 'getLog' easy transfer between the two can be done with as.list() or c( , recursive = TRUE)

Usage

getLogIDsComptf(comptfToken, scrapeLoc = c("Tourney", "Season")[1],
  withNames = TRUE, saveArchive = TRUE, shReDownload = NULL)

Arguments

comptfToken	The name of the comp.tf page in the url
scrapeLoc	Is this page a tourney (scrape a bracket) or a season (scrape a table)
withNames	Should the identifier of each of the logs be added as a names for output?
saveArchive	Should the new query be saved in the tf2statr library in 'data'?
shReDownload	If the event is in the the archive, should it redownload the file?

Value

A character vector with all the logs. A named character vector if "withNames" is TRUE
