Usage

fotmob_get_league_matches(country, league_name, league_id, cached = TRUE)

Arguments

Three character country code. Can be one or multiple. If provided, 'league_name' must also be provided (of the same length)

league_name

League names. If provided, 'country' must also be provided (of the same length).

league_id

Fotmob ID for the league. Only used if 'country' and 'league_name' are not specified.

Examples


try({
library(dplyr)
library(tidyr)

# one league
fotmob_get_league_matches(
  country = "ENG",
  league_name = "Premier League"
)

# one league, by id
fotmob_get_league_matches(
  league_id = 47
)

# multiple leagues (could also use ids)
league_matches <- fotmob_get_league_matches(
  country =     c("ENG",            "ESP"   ),
  league_name = c("Premier League", "LaLiga")
)

# probably the data that you care about
league_matches %>%
  dplyr::select(match_id = id, home, away) %>%
  tidyr::unnest_wider(c(home, away), names_sep = "_")
})
