league_id

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

Examples

try({
library(dplyr)

# one league
fotmob_get_league_matches(

# 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 = "_")
