R: Players profile data

do_scraping_rosters {BAwiR}

R Documentation

Players profile data

Description

This function calls the needed ancillary functions to scrape the players' profile data for the desired competition (currently, ACB, Euroleague and Eurocup).

Usage

do_scraping_rosters(competition, pcode, verbose, accents, year, r_user)

Arguments

`competition`	String. Options are "ACB", "Euroleague" and "Eurocup".
`pcode`	Code corresponding to the player's website to scrape.
`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.
`year`	If `competition` is either Euroleague or Eurocup, the year when the season starts is needed. 2017 refers to 2017-2018 and so on.
`r_user`	Email to identify the user when doing web scraping. This is a polite way to do web scraping and to certify that the user is working as transparently as possible with a research purpose.

Value

A data frame with the players' information.
