In valentinumbach/SoFIFA: SoFIFA API for R

SoFIFA.com offers up-to-date, detailed scores on all players from EA Sports FIFA. This package makes it easy to load that data into R -- for individual players, teams, or complete leagues.

Usage

The SoFIFA package offers 2 groups of functions. The first group will help you get SoFIFA.com IDs for leagues, teams, or individual players. The second group will load the SoFIFA scores for those IDs.

Getting IDs

To begin, you will typically start at the league level. Get all currently available leagues with get_leagues().

library(SoFIFA)
leagues <- get_leagues()

knitr::kable(head(leagues))

Let's say we're interested in the English Premier League. We will next get the IDs for all teams from that league with get_teams(), using the league_id we just got.

teams <- get_teams(13)

knitr::kable(head(teams))

Finally, we want to get all the player IDs for Tottenham Hotspur. We use their team_id with the get_players() function.

players <- get_players(18)

knitr::kable(head(players))

Getting scores

Of course, what we're really after are the SoFIFA scores. So we can now use the IDs we got in the first step.

Let's start with an individual player. The get_player_scores() function let's us collect scores from one or many players, using their player_id. Here, we're looking for the scores from Harry Kane.

player_scores <- get_player_scores(202126)

knitr::kable(player_scores)

Next, we want to see scores from all players of Tottenham Hotspur. We can use the get_team_scores() function with the team_id.

team_scores <- get_team_scores(18, max_results = 5)

knitr::kable(head(team_scores))

Finally, we can also collect scores for all players in the Premier League. We user the get_league_scores() function with league_id.

league_scores <- get_league_scores(13, max_results = 5)
