fflr 2.3.0

ESPN has changed the URL of their API. This version uses the new URL for API calls and makes more functions fail elegantly when the API does not return data during the off-season (returning a message and a data frames with zero rows).

Version 3.0.0 will release following the start of the 2024 NFL season.

• Deprecate all_players() in favor of more advance list_players() (#21).

fflr 1.9.0

This release represents coverage of issues #24 and #27. The package replicates the functionality of the website, providing a machine interface for information on leagues and players. Work still needs to be done to test (#30) and clean up the matching column names across outputs (especially when team/position/slot IDs have been converted to abbreviations #31).

fflr 0.3.15

This mostly relates to ensuring examples, vignettes, etc run properly despite the season having ended. Functions like roster_moves() use a specific week = 5 argument to ensure they actually pull data for examples.

fflr 0.3.12

This patch primarily fixes bugs related to handling API errors.

• Use known weekly rosters in all tests, examples, and vignettes.
• Improve the way all_players() safely handles bye week stats.
• Skip all_players() tests and examples on CRAN for time reasons.
• Remove changes to options() in try_api(), keep Sys.sleep().
• Use try_api() for all other JSON calls (.e.g., ffl_seasons()).

fflr 0.3.9

Initial CRAN release. Covers most functionality of the ESPN website (see #10):

• List all players, find individual athlete information, news, outlooks, corrections, trends.
• League members, teams, standings, settings, rosters, schedule, messages, transactions, draft.
• Historical match and week scores, live scoring and projections.
• Convenience functions for best roster, starting roster.
