A special case of the `fetch_` family of functions is the `fetch_player_details_` set of functions. You can read the general explanation of how to use the main fetch functions on the [Vignette](https://jimmyday12.github.io/fitzRoy/articles/main-fetch-functions.html). The player details functions accepts slightly different arguments. 


## Basic Usage
You can use `fetch_player_details` to return a list of player details for a given club and source. The source will determine exactly what details are returned. The default is the AFL.com.au website. 

```{r details_aflm, eval=FALSE, include=TRUE}
fetch_player_details("Hawthorn")
```
```{r details_aflm_included, echo=FALSE, eval=eval_param}
fitzRoy:::details_aflm
```

The AFL website will return AFLW or AFLM data, while other sources only include AFLM data. 

```{r details_aflw, eval=FALSE, include=TRUE}
details_aflw <- fetch_player_details(team = "Western Bulldogs", current = TRUE, comp = "AFLW", source = "AFL")

head(details_aflw)
```
```{r details_aflw_included, echo=FALSE, eval=eval_param}
details_aflw <- fitzRoy:::details_aflw
head(details_aflw)
```

The list of details returned for AFL.com.au website is below. 

```{r, eval=eval_param}
glimpse(details_aflw)
```

The AFLTables.com source will return all players who have played for the specified team over time.

```{r details_afltables, eval=FALSE, include=TRUE}
fetch_player_details("Hawthorn", source = "afltables")
```
```{r details_afltables_included, echo=FALSE, eval=eval_param}
fitzRoy:::details_afltables
```

The Footywire.com source allows you to specify just the current list of players, which is fairly quick, or all players over time which can be a little slow. 


```{r details_footywire, eval=FALSE, include=TRUE}
fetch_player_details("Richmond", source = "footywire", current = TRUE)
```
```{r details_footywire_included, echo=FALSE, eval=eval_param}
fitzRoy:::details_footywire
```

One challenge is that each source accepts different values for the `team` argument. There is a helper function that will return an error if the wrong team is supplied and provide a list of acceptable values for that specific source.

```{r echo=TRUE, message=TRUE, warning=TRUE, error=TRUE, purl = FALSE}
fetch_player_details("Greater Western Sydney", source = "afltables")
```
