Player game finder data

Description

Usage

do_scraping_games(competition, type_league, nums, year, verbose, accents, r_user)

Arguments

`competition`	String. Options are "ACB", "Euroleague" and "Eurocup".
`type_league`	String. If `competition` is ACB, to scrape ACB league games ("ACB"), Copa del Rey games ("CREY") or Supercopa games ("SCOPA").
`nums`	Numbers corresponding to the website from which scraping.
`year`	If `competition` is either Euroleague or Eurocup, the year when the season starts is needed. 2017 refers to 2017-2018 and so on.
`verbose`	Should R report information on progress? Default TRUE.
`accents`	If `competition` is ACB, should we keep the Spanish accents? The recommended option is to remove them, so default FALSE.
