Get college football play-by-play data — modular EPA/WPA pipeline (v2)

Description

Returns CFBD play-by-play data with optional Expected Points Added (EPA) and Win Probability Added (WPA) modeling. The modular successor to cfbd_pbp_data(): a thin orchestrator over the shared EPA/WPA engine (.run_epa_wpa()), the canonical play-type taxonomy (.pbp_play_types()), and the canonical output schema (.pbp_output_order). Side-by-side with the legacy entry point until the equivalence harness proves the new path matches.

Usage

cfbd_pbp_data_v2(
  year,
  season_type = "regular",
  week = 1,
  team = NULL,
  play_type = NULL,
  epa_wpa = FALSE,
  output = "default"
)

Arguments

year

(Numeric required): Season year (e.g. 2024).
Minimum value accepted: 2001

season_type

(Character): Season type — "regular" (default), "postseason", "both", "allstar", "spring_regular", "spring_postseason".

week

(Numeric): Week number.

team

(Character): Optional team filter (e.g. "Texas").

play_type

(Character): Optional play-type filter (see cfbd_play_type_df).

epa_wpa

(Logical): When TRUE, run the EPA/WPA pipeline and return the modeled frame; when FALSE (default) return the raw plays + drives + betting join.

output

(Character): controls the modeled-output column set when epa_wpa = TRUE. Ignored when epa_wpa = FALSE. Defaults to "default". Must be one of:

  • "default" (recommended) – drops pipeline lag/lead intermediates, redundant alternates (sack_vec, turnover_indicator, kick_play, missing_yard_flag), and drive-result aliases (drive_result2, drive_result_detailed_flag, lag_drive_result_detailed, lead_drive_result_detailed, lag_new_drive_pts). Keeps orig_play_type and pts_scored (they carry useful per-play information distinct from the canonical columns) and the per-branch WPA scratchpad (wpa_base/wpa_change etc.). ~75 columns lighter than "full" with no loss of information that isn't trivially rebuildable.

  • "lean" – everything "default" drops, plus the WPA computation scratchpad. For dashboards / leaderboards / game logs.

  • "full" – legacy behavior, drops only the player-name aliases. For sequential modeling that consumes pre-computed lag/lead shifts or the per-branch WPA decomposition.

Value

A cfbfastR_data tibble. The epa_wpa = TRUE output matches the legacy cfbd_pbp_data() pipeline-canonical column set on every column it carries; the output argument controls which intermediate columns are retained. Documented bug-fix sites are listed in the package vignette.

CFBD Play-by-Play (v2 Modular EPA/WPA Pipeline) Overview

Description

Details

The v2 entry point is a thin wrapper around .run_epa_wpa() – the shared engine that powers both the modular (v2) and legacy paths. The output = "default" / "lean" / "full" tier argument selects which intermediate columns survive the final select: "default" drops pipeline lag/lead intermediates and redundant alternates, "lean" additionally drops the per-branch WPA scratchpad, and "full" is the legacy column set (drops only player-name aliases). The equivalence-harness allow-list is intentionally permissive about lag/lead intermediates and per-branch WPA scratchpad columns because those are mechanically rebuildable from the surviving canonical columns; the harness only enforces equality on user-facing values.

The sibling columns team_name, team_abbreviation, team_location, team_display_name, team_short_display_name, team_nickname, team_color, team_alternate_color, team_logo_href, team_logo_dark_href are inserted immediately after team_id. A catalog failure degrades to NA rather than erroring the wrapper. Set FALSE to skip the catalog fetch and the join, reproducing the prior output exactly.

Details

Wraps the ESPN core-v2 endpoint sports.core.api.espn.com/v2/sports/football/leagues/college-football/seasons/{year}/awards/{award_id}. espn_cfb_awards() returns the season award index; this wrapper returns the single-award detail (including the long-form history text) for one id. Returns one row per (award x winner) – most awards have a single winner, so the table is typically one row. An award with no winner recorded yet still contributes one row with athlete_id/team_id left NA. Winners are returned as ESPN athlete and team ids only – join to an athlete source for names. Enumerate award_ids with espn_cfb_awards().

A data frame with one row per award-winner:

Clear the cfbfastR ESPN catalog cache

espn_cfb_clear_cache()

Clear the cfbfastR ESPN catalog cache

Description

The ESPN college football game wrappers enrich their output with team and position detail drawn from two static catalogs – espn_cfb_teams() (~750 teams) and espn_cfb_positions() (~74 positions). Because those catalogs do not change often, the internal lookups built from them are memoised with cachem + memoise, so a loop over many games does not re-hit ESPN for the catalogs on every call.

espn_cfb_clear_cache() forgets those memoised lookups. The next wrapper call that needs a catalog will fetch a fresh copy from ESPN. Use it when you want to force a refresh – for example after a long-running session, or when debugging.

Usage

espn_cfb_clear_cache()

Details

Clear the cfbfastR ESPN catalog cache

Caching is configured at package load via two options():

Set these with options() before the package is loaded, e.g. options(cfbfastR.cache = "filesystem"). When cfbfastR.cache is "off", the catalog helpers are never memoised and espn_cfb_clear_cache() is a no-op (it still returns invisibly without error).

Value

Invisibly returns NULL. Called for its side effect of forgetting the memoised catalog lookups.

ESPN College Football Franchise Detail

Description

Get the ESPN core-v2 detail record for a single college football franchise – location, nickname, abbreviation, color, the associated venue and current team, and active status.

Usage

espn_cfb_franchise(franchise_id = NULL, team_detail = TRUE)

Arguments

franchise_id

(Integer required): ESPN franchise id.

team_detail

(Logical): when TRUE (default), the ESPN team catalog (espn_cfb_teams()) is fetched once and friendly team fields are joined in next to the team_id column. The sibling columns team_name, team_abbreviation, team_location, team_display_name, team_short_display_name, team_nickname, team_color, team_alternate_color, team_logo_href, team_logo_dark_href are inserted immediately after team_id. A catalog failure degrades to NA rather than erroring the wrapper. Set FALSE to skip the catalog fetch and the join, reproducing the prior output exactly.

Details

Wraps the ESPN core-v2 endpoint sports.core.api.espn.com/v2/sports/football/leagues/college-football/franchises/{franchise_id}. A franchise is the stable program identity, distinct from ⁠/teams⁠ (which is season-scoped). Returns a single-row tibble. Enumerate franchise_ids with espn_cfb_franchises().

ESPN College Football Franchises Index

Description

Get the catalog of college football franchises ESPN tracks – the stable program identities (~797) that underpin ESPN's team resources.

Usage

espn_cfb_franchises()

Details

Wraps the ESPN core-v2 endpoint sports.core.api.espn.com/v2/sports/football/leagues/college-football/franchises. A franchise is the stable program identity, distinct from ⁠/teams⁠ (which is season-scoped). The index is ⁠$ref⁠-paginated and large (~797 franchises); dereferencing every franchise would be hundreds of HTTP calls, so this wrapper returns the lightweight index instead – one row per franchise with the franchise_id parsed from each ⁠$ref⁠. Pass an id to espn_cfb_franchise() to dereference the full detail record (slug, location, nickname, division, venue, colors, logos).

Value

A data frame with one row per franchise:

col_name types description
franchise_id character ESPN franchise id (parsed from franchise_ref).
franchise_ref character ⁠$ref⁠ URL to the franchise detail resource.

ESPN College Football Betting Futures (Long Format)

Description

Get ESPN's full futures-betting board for a college football season – national championship, conference, and award markets with the American odds each sportsbook is offering on every team or player.

Usage

espn_cfb_futures(year = NULL)

Arguments

year

(Integer required): Season, 4 digit format (YYYY).
Minimum value accepted: 2014

Details

Wraps the ESPN core-v2 endpoint sports.core.api.espn.com/v2/sports/football/leagues/college-football/seasons/{year}/futures. The season index returns one ⁠$ref⁠ per futures market; this wrapper dereferences each market and flattens the nested market -> provider -> books tree into long format: one row per (market x provider x entry). Most markets are team markets (national championship, conference winners) and populate team_id; player markets (e.g. the Heisman) populate athlete_id instead, with the other id column left NA. odds_value is the raw American-odds string ESPN returns (e.g. -400, +150).

Value

A data frame with one row per market-provider-entry:

col_name types description
season integer Season (4-digit year).
market_id character ESPN futures-market identifier.
market_name character Internal market name (e.g. NCAA(F) - Championship).
market_type character Market type code (e.g. winLeague).
market_display character Human-readable market name (e.g. ⁠National Championship Winner⁠).
provider_id character Sportsbook / provider identifier.
provider_name character Sportsbook / provider name (e.g. ⁠ESPN BET⁠).
team_id character ESPN team id (parsed from team_ref); NA for player markets.
athlete_id character ESPN athlete id (parsed from athlete_ref); NA for team markets.
odds_value character American odds for the entry (e.g. -400, +150).
team_ref character ⁠$ref⁠ URL to the per-season team resource (may be NA).
athlete_ref character ⁠$ref⁠ URL to the per-season athlete resource (may be NA).

ESPN College Football Game Drive Plays

Description

Get the play-by-play for a single drive of a college football game – one row per play, scoped to one drive.

Usage

espn_cfb_game_drive_plays(
  game_id = NULL,
  drive_id = NULL,
  participants = c("none", "wide", "long"),
  participants_list = FALSE,
  team_participants = c("none", "wide"),
  team_participants_list = FALSE,
  team_detail = TRUE
)

Arguments

game_id

(Integer required): ESPN game identifier.

drive_id

(Integer required): ESPN drive id (from espn_cfb_game_drives()).

participants

(Character): controls whether each play's nested participants[] array (the athletes credited on the play) is attached. One of:

  • "none" (default) – the play frame is returned unchanged; no extra HTTP call is made.

  • "wide" – one row per play, with type-keyed ⁠{type}_player_*⁠ columns appended (see Details).

  • "long" – one row per play x participant (see Details).

participants_list

(Logical): when TRUE, append a single list-column named participants holding each play's full participant detail – including the per-participant stats[] that "wide" mode drops. Defaults to FALSE. This is independent of and combinable with the participants argument (see Details).

team_participants

(Character): controls whether each play's nested teamParticipants[] array (the team(s) credited on the play) is attached as type-keyed columns. One of:

  • "none" (default) – no team-participant columns are added.

  • "wide" – one row per play, with type-keyed ⁠{type}_team_*⁠ columns appended (see Details).

team_participants_list

(Logical): when TRUE, append a single list-column named team_participants holding each play's full teamParticipants[] detail as a nested tibble. Defaults to FALSE. This is independent of and combinable with the team_participants argument (see Details).

team_detail

(Logical): when TRUE (default), the ESPN team catalog (espn_cfb_teams()) is fetched once and friendly team fields are joined in next to every team-id column in the output (team_id, start_team_id, end_team_id, plus any optional ⁠{type}_team_id⁠ / ⁠{type}_player_team_id⁠ columns). For each id column X_id the sibling columns X_name, X_abbreviation, X_location, X_display_name, X_short_display_name, X_nickname, X_color, X_alternate_color, X_logo_href, X_logo_dark_href are inserted immediately after it. A catalog failure degrades to NA rather than erroring the wrapper. Set FALSE to skip the catalog fetch and the join.

Details

Wraps the ESPN core-v2 endpoint events/{game_id}/competitions/{game_id}/drives/{drive_id}/plays. The competition id always equals the game id. Returns the same play schema as the competition-level espn_cfb_game_pbp() feed, but partitioned to a single drive (typically 5-11 plays). Harvest the drive_id from espn_cfb_game_drives() – its drive_id column lists every drive in the game.

When participants = "wide", the base play schema is kept intact and six columns are appended for every participant type that appears anywhere in the drive. The column names are dynamic – one set per participant type present (e.g. passer, rusher, receiver, tackler, sacked_by, pass_defender, kicker, returner). ESPN's camelCase types are snake-cased (sackedBy -> sacked_by). For each type the appended columns are:

Participant stats[] are not carried in wide mode – use "long" for the per-participant stat lines.

When participants = "long", the frame is expanded to one row per play x participant with participant_index, participant_athlete_id, participant_type, participant_order, the roster-joined participant_athlete_name / participant_position / participant_jersey / participant_team_id, and the participant's stats pivoted to named ⁠pstat_<statname>⁠ columns. Plays with zero participants still yield one row (participant fields NA).

When participants_list = TRUE, a single list-column named participants is appended. Each cell is a tibble with one row per participant on that play and columns participant_index (1-based, ESPN order), type (snake_cased, e.g. sacked_by, pass_defender), athlete_id, athlete_name (roster-joined), order, position_id, plus one column per participant stat[] name (dplyr::bind_rows NA-fills participants whose stat sets differ). Plays with no participants carry an empty 0-row tibble, never NULL. This option is independent of participants and composes with any of its modes – e.g. ⁠participants = "wide", participants_list = TRUE⁠ yields the type-keyed ⁠{type}_player_*⁠ columns and the participants list-column, while ⁠participants = "none", participants_list = TRUE⁠ adds only the list-column. With participants = "long" the list-column repeats per play x participant row. The raw plays are fetched only once even when both options are active.

When team_participants = "wide", three columns are appended for every teamParticipants[] type present anywhere in the drive (ESPN ships offense / defense). The column names are dynamic – one set per type, snake-cased: ⁠{type}_team_id⁠ (scalar character, the first occurrence of that type on the play), ⁠{type}_team_order⁠ (scalar integer, ESPN's display order), and ⁠{type}_team_ref⁠ (scalar character, the ⁠$ref⁠ URL to that team resource). Plays with none of a type carry NA.

When team_participants_list = TRUE, a single list-column named team_participants is appended. Each cell is a tibble with one row per team credited on the play and columns team_participant_index (1-based, ESPN order), team_id, team_ref, order, and type (e.g. offense, defense). A play with no team participants carries an empty 0-row tibble, never NULL. This option is independent of team_participants and composes with it – e.g. ⁠team_participants = "wide", team_participants_list = TRUE⁠ yields both the type-keyed ⁠{type}_team_*⁠ columns and the team_participants list-column, while team_participants = "none" adds neither.

When team_detail = TRUE (the default), the ESPN team catalog (espn_cfb_teams()) is fetched once and joined onto every team-id column the output carries – the base team_id / start_team_id / end_team_id, plus any optional ⁠{type}_team_id⁠ (from team_participants = "wide") and ⁠{type}_player_team_id⁠ (from participants = "long") columns. For each id column X_id the friendly siblings X_name, X_abbreviation, X_location, X_display_name, X_short_display_name, X_nickname, X_color, X_alternate_color, X_logo_href, and X_logo_dark_href are inserted immediately after it (e.g. team_id -> team_name, team_abbreviation, ...; start_team_id -> start_team_name, ...). Rows whose id is missing or unmatched receive NA, and a catalog-fetch failure degrades the whole set to NA rather than erroring the wrapper. With team_detail = FALSE the friendly columns (and the catalog fetch) are skipped.

ESPN College Football Game Drives

Description

Get the per-game drive log for a single college football game – one row per drive, with start/end field position, yardage, play count, result, and a ⁠$ref⁠ to that drive's plays. Optionally embed each drive's full-schema play-by-play as a nested list-column or as a flat one-row-per-play table.

Usage

espn_cfb_game_drives(
  game_id = NULL,
  plays = c("none", "list", "expand"),
  participants = c("none", "wide", "long"),
  participants_list = FALSE,
  team_participants = c("none", "wide"),
  team_participants_list = FALSE,
  position_detail = TRUE,
  team_detail = TRUE
)

Arguments

game_id

(Integer required): ESPN game identifier.

plays

(Character): controls whether each drive's plays are embedded. One of "none" (default), "list", or "expand" – see Details.

participants

(Character): participant-flattening mode for the embedded plays – one of "none" (default), "wide", or "long". Consulted only when plays != "none". See espn_cfb_game_pbp().

participants_list

(Logical): when TRUE, append the participants list-column to each embedded play. Defaults to FALSE. Consulted only when plays != "none".

team_participants

(Character): team-participant-flattening mode for the embedded plays – one of "none" (default) or "wide". Consulted only when plays != "none".

team_participants_list

(Logical): when TRUE, append the team_participants list-column to each embedded play. Defaults to FALSE. Consulted only when plays != "none".

position_detail

(Logical): when TRUE (default), the embedded plays' participants = "wide" output carries position detail joined from the ESPN position catalog. Consulted only when plays != "none" and participants = "wide".

team_detail

(Logical): when TRUE (default), the ESPN team catalog (espn_cfb_teams()) is fetched once and friendly team fields are joined in next to the drive-level team-id columns – team_id and end_team_id (which become drive_team_id / drive_end_team_id in plays = "expand" mode). For each id column X_id the sibling columns X_name, X_abbreviation, X_location, X_display_name, X_short_display_name, X_nickname, X_color, X_alternate_color, X_logo_href, X_logo_dark_href are inserted immediately after it. The embedded play tibbles keep the base espn_cfb_game_pbp() schema (not team-enriched), so a plays = "expand" result matches espn_cfb_unnest_plays() of a plays = "list" result. A catalog failure degrades to NA rather than erroring the wrapper. Set FALSE to skip the catalog fetch and the join.

Details

Wraps the ESPN core-v2 endpoint events/{game_id}/competitions/{game_id}/drives. The competition id always equals the game id. Returns one row per drive (typically 18-24 drives per game). Each drive carries the offensive team, the start and end period/clock/yard-line, total yards, offensive play count, the drive result, and a scoring flag. The plays_ref column is the ⁠$ref⁠ URL to that drive's plays – pass the drive_id to espn_cfb_game_drive_plays() to fetch the play-by-play partitioned to a single drive. This is the richest drive resource ESPN exposes; the site-v2 summary feed only carries a flattened subset.

The plays argument controls whether each drive's plays are embedded:

The participants, participants_list, team_participants, team_participants_list, and position_detail arguments shape the embedded plays and are consulted only when plays != "none". They have the same meaning as the identically named arguments on espn_cfb_game_pbp() – e.g. participants = "wide" appends the type-keyed ⁠{type}_player_*⁠ columns to every embedded play tibble. See espn_cfb_game_pbp() for the full description of each.

To get the plays efficiently the wrapper first probes the drives endpoint for inline plays (⁠items[].plays.items[]⁠); when ESPN embeds them, no extra request is made. When only a plays.$ref is present, the competition-level ⁠/plays⁠ feed is fetched once and the plays are partitioned into drives by matching each play's drive id. Per-drive plays_ref URLs are never dereferenced individually.

espn_cfb_unnest_plays() turns a plays = "list" result into the same flat table as plays = "expand" without any further HTTP.

Value

A data frame with one row per drive:

col_name types description

start_text character Field-position text at the start of the drive.
end_period integer Period (quarter) at the end of the drive.
end_period_type character Period type at the end of the drive (e.g. quarter).

When plays = "list", an additional plays list-column is appended – each cell a tibble in the full espn_cfb_game_pbp() schema. When plays = "expand", the flat one-row-per-play table is returned instead: every column of espn_cfb_game_pbp() plus the drive-level columns above carried alongside each play with a drive_ prefix.

ESPN College Football Game Leaders

Description

Get the per-game statistical leaders for a single college football game – one row per leader within each statistical category, both teams combined.

Usage

espn_cfb_game_leaders(game_id = NULL, team_detail = TRUE)

Arguments

game_id

(Integer required): ESPN game identifier.

team_detail

(Logical): when TRUE (default), fetch the ESPN team catalog once and join friendly team fields next to the team_id column (see Details). Set FALSE to skip the catalog fetch and the join.

Details

Wraps the ESPN core-v2 endpoint events/{game_id}/competitions/{game_id}/leaders. The competition id always equals the game id. Returns one row per leader within each leader category (passing, rushing, receiving, ...). ESPN publishes roughly 22 categories per game; each category lists a small number of leading athletes. This is the game-wide leaders resource – distinct from espn_cfb_game_team_leaders(), which returns the leaders for a single competitor (team).

When team_detail = TRUE (the default) the ESPN team catalog (espn_cfb_teams()) is fetched once and friendly team fields are joined in next to the team_id column – team_name, team_abbreviation, team_location, team_display_name, team_short_display_name, team_nickname, team_color, team_alternate_color, team_logo_href, and team_logo_dark_href, inserted immediately after team_id. A catalog failure degrades to NA rather than erroring the wrapper. Set team_detail = FALSE to skip the catalog fetch and the join.

Value

A data frame with one row per leader-in-category:

col_name types description
game_id character ESPN game identifier.
category_name character Leader-category key (e.g. passingLeader).
category_display_name character Human-readable leader-category name.
category_short_display_name character Short human-readable leader-category name.

ESPN College Football Game Odds

Description

Get the sportsbook betting lines (spread, over/under, moneyline) for a single college football game – one row per provider.

Usage

espn_cfb_game_odds(game_id = NULL, line_history = FALSE)

Arguments

game_id

ESPN College Football Game Plays (Core-v2 Play-by-Play)

Description

Get the full core-v2 play-by-play feed for a single college football game – one row per play, with down/distance, clock, score, and yardage.

Usage

espn_cfb_game_pbp(
  game_id = NULL,
  participants = c("none", "wide", "long"),
  participants_list = FALSE,
  team_participants = c("none", "wide"),
  team_participants_list = FALSE,
  team_detail = TRUE
)

Arguments

game_id

(Integer required): ESPN game identifier.

participants

(Character): controls whether each play's nested participants[] array (the athletes credited on the play) is attached. One of:

  • "none" (default) – the play frame is returned unchanged; no extra HTTP call is made.

  • "wide" – one row per play, with type-keyed ⁠{type}_player_*⁠ columns appended (see Details).

  • "long" – one row per play x participant (see Details).

participants_list

(Logical): when TRUE, append a single list-column named participants holding each play's full participant detail – including the per-participant stats[] that "wide" mode drops. Defaults to FALSE. This is independent of and combinable with the participants argument (see Details).

team_participants

(Character): controls whether each play's nested teamParticipants[] array (the team(s) credited on the play) is attached as type-keyed columns. One of:

  • "none" (default) – no team-participant columns are added.

  • "wide" – one row per play, with type-keyed ⁠{type}_team_*⁠ columns appended (see Details).

team_participants_list

(Logical): when TRUE, append a single list-column named team_participants holding each play's full teamParticipants[] detail as a nested tibble. Defaults to FALSE. This is independent of and combinable with the team_participants argument (see Details).

team_detail

(Logical): when TRUE (default), the ESPN team catalog (espn_cfb_teams()) is fetched once and friendly team fields are joined in next to every team-id column in the output (team_id, start_team_id, end_team_id, plus any optional ⁠{type}_team_id⁠ / ⁠{type}_player_team_id⁠ columns). For each id column X_id the sibling columns X_name, X_abbreviation, X_location, X_display_name, X_short_display_name, X_nickname, X_color, X_alternate_color, X_logo_href, X_logo_dark_href are inserted immediately after it. A catalog failure degrades to NA rather than erroring the wrapper. Set FALSE to skip the catalog fetch and the join.

Details

Wraps the paginated ESPN core-v2 endpoint events/{game_id}/competitions/{game_id}/plays. The endpoint is paginated; this wrapper loops every page and stacks the results into one frame – one row per play. Each play carries the start and end down/distance/yard-line, the play type, period and game clock, the running score, and the offensive team.

This is the core-v2 play feed, distinct from espn_cfb_pbp(), which parses the site-v2 game-summary feed and (optionally) computes EPA/WPA. Use this wrapper when you want the raw core-v2 play schema with stable ⁠$ref⁠-derived ids; use espn_cfb_pbp() for the modeled play-by-play.

When participants = "wide", the base play schema is kept intact and six columns are appended for every participant type that appears anywhere in the game. The column names are dynamic – one set per participant type present (e.g. passer, rusher, receiver, tackler, sacked_by, pass_defender, kicker, returner). ESPN's camelCase types are snake-cased (sackedBy -> sacked_by). For each type the appended columns are:

Participant stats[] are not carried in wide mode – use "long" for the per-participant stat lines.

When participants = "long", the frame is expanded to one row per play x participant with participant_index, participant_athlete_id, participant_type, participant_order, the roster-joined participant_athlete_name / participant_position / participant_jersey / participant_team_id, and the participant's stats pivoted to named ⁠pstat_<statname>⁠ columns. Plays with zero participants still yield one row (participant fields NA).

When participants_list = TRUE, a single list-column named participants is appended. Each cell is a tibble with one row per participant on that play and columns participant_index (1-based, ESPN order), type (snake_cased, e.g. sacked_by, pass_defender), athlete_id, athlete_name (roster-joined), order, position_id, plus one column per participant stat[] name (dplyr::bind_rows NA-fills participants whose stat sets differ). Plays with no participants carry an empty 0-row tibble, never NULL. This option is independent of participants and composes with any of its modes – e.g. ⁠participants = "wide", participants_list = TRUE⁠ yields the type-keyed ⁠{type}_player_*⁠ columns and the participants list-column, while ⁠participants = "none", participants_list = TRUE⁠ adds only the list-column. With participants = "long" the list-column repeats per play x participant row. The raw plays are fetched only once even when both options are active.

When team_participants = "wide", three columns are appended for every teamParticipants[] type present anywhere in the game (ESPN ships offense / defense). The column names are dynamic – one set per type, snake-cased: ⁠{type}_team_id⁠ (scalar character, the first occurrence of that type on the play), ⁠{type}_team_order⁠ (scalar integer, ESPN's display order), and ⁠{type}_team_ref⁠ (scalar character, the ⁠$ref⁠ URL to that team resource). Plays with none of a type carry NA.

When team_participants_list = TRUE, a single list-column named team_participants is appended. Each cell is a tibble with one row per team credited on the play and columns team_participant_index (1-based, ESPN order), team_id, team_ref, order, and type (e.g. offense, defense). A play with no team participants carries an empty 0-row tibble, never NULL. This option is independent of team_participants and composes with it – e.g. ⁠team_participants = "wide", team_participants_list = TRUE⁠ yields both the type-keyed ⁠{type}_team_*⁠ columns and the team_participants list-column, while team_participants = "none" adds neither.

When team_detail = TRUE (the default), the ESPN team catalog (espn_cfb_teams()) is fetched once and joined onto every team-id column the output carries – the base team_id / start_team_id / end_team_id, plus any optional ⁠{type}_team_id⁠ (from team_participants = "wide") and ⁠{type}_player_team_id⁠ (from participants = "long") columns. For each id column X_id the friendly siblings X_name, X_abbreviation, X_location, X_display_name, X_short_display_name, X_nickname, X_color, X_alternate_color, X_logo_href, and X_logo_dark_href are inserted immediately after it (e.g. team_id -> team_name, team_abbreviation, ...; start_team_id -> start_team_name, ...). Rows whose id is missing or unmatched receive NA, and a catalog-fetch failure degrades the whole set to NA rather than erroring the wrapper. With team_detail = FALSE the friendly columns (and the catalog fetch) are skipped.

ESPN College Football Game Play (Single Play Detail)

Description

Get the full detail object for a single play of a college football game – one row with the play type, text, score, clock, down/distance, and win-probability delta.

Usage

espn_cfb_game_play(
  game_id = NULL,
  play_id = NULL,
  participants = c("none", "wide", "long"),
  participants_list = FALSE,
  team_participants = c("none", "wide"),
  team_participants_list = FALSE,
  team_detail = TRUE
)

Arguments

game_id

(Integer required): ESPN game identifier.

play_id

(Character required): ESPN play id (from espn_cfb_game_pbp()). Supply as a character string – the id is too large for an exact numeric.

participants

(Character): controls whether the play's nested participants[] array (the athletes credited on the play) is attached. One of:

  • "none" (default) – the single-row play frame is returned unchanged; no extra HTTP call is made.

  • "wide" – the single row gains type-keyed ⁠{type}_player_*⁠ columns (see Details).

  • "long" – the frame is expanded to one row per participant (see Details).

participants_list

(Logical): when TRUE, append a single list-column named participants holding the play's full participant detail – including the per-participant stats[] that "wide" mode drops. Defaults to FALSE. This is independent of and combinable with the participants argument (see Details).

team_participants

(Character): controls whether the play's nested teamParticipants[] array (the team(s) credited on the play) is attached as type-keyed columns. One of:

  • "none" (default) – no team-participant columns are added.

  • "wide" – the single row gains type-keyed ⁠{type}_team_*⁠ columns (see Details).

team_participants_list

(Logical): when TRUE, append a single list-column named team_participants holding the play's full teamParticipants[] detail as a nested tibble. Defaults to FALSE. This is independent of and combinable with the team_participants argument (see Details).

team_detail

(Logical): when TRUE (default), the ESPN team catalog (espn_cfb_teams()) is fetched once and friendly team fields are joined in next to every team-id column in the output (team_id, start_team_id, end_team_id, plus any optional ⁠{type}_team_id⁠ / ⁠{type}_player_team_id⁠ columns). For each id column X_id the sibling columns X_name, X_abbreviation, X_location, X_display_name, X_short_display_name, X_nickname, X_color, X_alternate_color, X_logo_href, X_logo_dark_href are inserted immediately after it. A catalog failure degrades to NA rather than erroring the wrapper. Set FALSE to skip the catalog fetch and the join.

Details

Wraps the ESPN core-v2 endpoint events/{game_id}/competitions/{game_id}/plays/{play_id}. The competition id always equals the game id. Returns a single-row data frame describing one play in full. Harvest the play_id from the competition-level espn_cfb_game_pbp() feed (its play_id column) or from espn_cfb_game_drive_plays(). Use this wrapper for play drill-down when you need a single play's complete object rather than the whole game feed.

ESPN play ids are 18-digit integers that exceed R's exact double-precision range – pass play_id as a character string (e.g. "401628339101927401") so no precision is lost. A bare numeric literal will be silently rounded and the lookup will 404.

When participants = "wide", the base play schema is kept intact and six columns are appended for every participant type on the play. The column names are dynamic – one set per participant type present (e.g. passer, rusher, receiver, tackler, sacked_by, pass_defender). ESPN's camelCase types are snake-cased (sackedBy -> sacked_by). For each type the appended columns are ⁠{type}_player_id⁠ (scalar character, the first occurrence of that type on the play), ⁠{type}_player_name⁠ (scalar character, that athlete's roster-joined name), ⁠{type}_player_position⁠ (scalar character, that athlete's position abbreviation from the ESPN position catalog), ⁠{type}_player_position_name⁠ (scalar character, that athlete's position name), ⁠{type}_player_ids⁠ (a list-column: a character vector of every athlete id of that type, in ESPN order; character(0) if none), and ⁠{type}_player_names⁠ (a list-column: the parallel vector of roster-joined names). Participant stats[] are not carried in wide mode – use "long" for the per-participant stats.

When participants = "long", the frame is expanded to one row per participant with participant_index, participant_athlete_id, participant_type, participant_order, the roster-joined participant_athlete_name / participant_position / participant_jersey / participant_team_id, and the participant's stats pivoted to named ⁠pstat_<statname>⁠ columns. A play with zero participants still yields one row (participant fields NA).

When participants_list = TRUE, a single list-column named participants is appended. Its one cell is a tibble with one row per participant on the play and columns participant_index (1-based, ESPN order), type (snake_cased, e.g. sacked_by, pass_defender), athlete_id, athlete_name (roster-joined), order, position_id, plus one column per participant stat[] name (dplyr::bind_rows NA-fills participants whose stat sets differ). A play with no participants carries an empty 0-row tibble, never NULL. This option is independent of participants and composes with any of its modes – e.g. ⁠participants = "wide", participants_list = TRUE⁠ yields the type-keyed ⁠{type}_player_*⁠ columns and the participants list-column. With participants = "long" the list-column repeats per participant row.

When team_participants = "wide", three columns are appended for every teamParticipants[] type on the play (ESPN ships offense / defense). The column names are dynamic – one set per type, snake-cased: ⁠{type}_team_id⁠ (scalar character, the first occurrence of that type on the play), ⁠{type}_team_order⁠ (scalar integer, ESPN's display order), and ⁠{type}_team_ref⁠ (scalar character, the ⁠$ref⁠ URL to that team resource). A play with none of a type carries NA.

When team_participants_list = TRUE, a single list-column named team_participants is appended. Its one cell is a tibble with one row per team credited on the play and columns team_participant_index (1-based, ESPN order), team_id, team_ref, order, and type (e.g. offense, defense). A play with no team participants carries an empty 0-row tibble, never NULL. This option is independent of team_participants and composes with it – e.g. ⁠team_participants = "wide", team_participants_list = TRUE⁠ yields both the type-keyed ⁠{type}_team_*⁠ columns and the team_participants list-column, while team_participants = "none" adds neither.

When team_detail = TRUE (the default), the ESPN team catalog (espn_cfb_teams()) is fetched once and joined onto every team-id column the output carries – the base team_id / start_team_id / end_team_id, plus any optional ⁠{type}_team_id⁠ (from team_participants = "wide") and ⁠{type}_player_team_id⁠ (from participants = "long") columns. For each id column X_id the friendly siblings X_name, X_abbreviation, X_location, X_display_name, X_short_display_name, X_nickname, X_color, X_alternate_color, X_logo_href, and X_logo_dark_href are inserted immediately after it (e.g. team_id -> team_name, team_abbreviation, ...; start_team_id -> start_team_name, ...). Rows whose id is missing or unmatched receive NA, and a catalog-fetch failure degrades the whole set to NA rather than erroring the wrapper. With team_detail = FALSE the friendly columns (and the catalog fetch) are skipped.

ESPN College Football Game Player Box Score

Description

Get the full per-player box score for both teams in a single college football game – one row per (team x athlete x category x stat), in long format.

Usage

espn_cfb_game_player_box(
  game_id = NULL,
  position_detail = TRUE,
  team_detail = TRUE
)

Arguments

game_id

(Integer required): ESPN game identifier.

position_detail

(Logical): when TRUE (default), fetch the ESPN position catalog once and join it onto position_id, appending the five ⁠position_*⁠ detail columns shown in the Value table. A catalog failure degrades to NA rather than erroring the wrapper. Set FALSE to skip the extra fetch and the join.

team_detail

(Logical): when TRUE (default), fetch the ESPN team catalog (espn_cfb_teams()) once and join friendly team fields next to the team_id column – team_name, team_abbreviation, team_location, team_display_name, team_short_display_name, team_nickname, team_color, team_alternate_color, team_logo_href, and team_logo_dark_href, inserted immediately after team_id. A catalog failure degrades to NA rather than erroring the wrapper. Set FALSE to skip the catalog fetch and the join.

Details

Wraps the ESPN core-v2 endpoint events/{game_id}/competitions/{game_id}/competitors/{team_id}/statistics. This wrapper reads the teams list for the game, fetches the team statistics resource for both teams, and walks the per-category splits -> categories -> athletes arrays – the per-player box-score tree that the team-level espn_cfb_game_team_statistics() wrapper (which walks categories -> stats) drops entirely.

Each athlete entry under a category carries only a ⁠$ref⁠ to that athlete's per-game statistics resource; this wrapper dereferences each unique athlete statistics ⁠$ref⁠ and flattens the nested splits -> categories -> stats tree into one long frame: one row per (team x athlete x category x stat). Athlete display names and position ids are joined from espn_cfb_game_team_roster(); a roster failure degrades to NA names rather than erroring. The long shape absorbs ESPN's habit of adding and retiring stat keys across seasons.

When position_detail = TRUE (the default) the ESPN position catalog (espn_cfb_positions()) is fetched once and joined onto position_id, so the output carries the full position name / abbreviation (see Details).

When position_detail = TRUE (the default), the position_id column (roster-joined per athlete) is enriched with five columns from the ESPN position catalog (espn_cfb_positions()): position_name, position_display_name, position_abbreviation, position_leaf, and position_parent_id. The catalog is fetched once per call. A row whose position_id is missing or unmatched receives NA for all five, and a catalog-fetch failure degrades the whole set to NA rather than erroring the wrapper. With position_detail = FALSE the five columns (and the catalog fetch) are skipped.

Value

A data frame with one row per team-athlete-category-stat:

col_name types description
game_id character ESPN game identifier.
team_id character ESPN team id (competitor id) for the team.
team_name character Team nickname; team_detail = TRUE only.

ESPN College Football Game Player Statistics (Single Athlete)

Description

Get one athlete's box-score line for a single college football game – one row per stat, in long format.

Usage

espn_cfb_game_player_statistics(
  game_id = NULL,
  athlete_id = NULL,
  position_detail = TRUE,
  team_detail = TRUE
)

Arguments

game_id

(Integer required): ESPN game identifier.

athlete_id

(Integer required): ESPN athlete id (from espn_cfb_game_leaders() or a roster wrapper).

position_detail

(Logical): when TRUE (default), fetch the ESPN position catalog once and join it onto position_id, appending the five ⁠position_*⁠ detail columns shown in the Value table. A catalog failure degrades to NA rather than erroring the wrapper. Set FALSE to skip the extra fetch and the join.

team_detail

(Logical): when TRUE (default), fetch the ESPN team catalog (espn_cfb_teams()) once and join friendly team fields next to the team_id column – team_name, team_abbreviation, team_location, team_display_name, team_short_display_name, team_nickname, team_color, team_alternate_color, team_logo_href, and team_logo_dark_href, inserted immediately after team_id. A catalog failure degrades to NA rather than erroring the wrapper. Set FALSE to skip the catalog fetch and the join.

Details

Wraps the ESPN core-v2 per-game, per-player statistics resource events/{game_id}/competitions/{game_id}/competitors/{t}/roster/{a}/statistics/{s}. The competition id always equals the game id.

ESPN reaches per-player game stats through the competitor roster tree – dereferencing all ~250 athletes on the two rosters per game is impractical, so this wrapper is scoped to one athlete. It fetches the two competitor rosters, finds the entry whose athlete_id matches the supplied athlete_id, follows that athlete's statistics ⁠$ref⁠, and returns that player's stat line in long format – one row per stat, with the stat category, name, value, and display value.

For a full all-players game box score, the site-v2 game-summary feed is the better source – it returns every player's box line in one call. Use this core-v2 wrapper when you need a single athlete's stats in the core-v2 id space, e.g. drilling down from espn_cfb_game_leaders().

If the athlete is not found on either roster, or did not record stats for the game (no statistics ⁠$ref⁠), an empty data frame is returned.

When position_detail = TRUE (the default) the ESPN position catalog (espn_cfb_positions()) is fetched once and joined onto the athlete's position_id, so the output carries the full position name / abbreviation (see Details).

When position_detail = TRUE (the default), the athlete's position_id (read from the roster entry) is enriched with five columns from the ESPN position catalog (espn_cfb_positions()): position_name, position_display_name, position_abbreviation, position_leaf, and position_parent_id. The catalog is fetched once per call. If the athlete carries no position_id or it is unmatched, all five are NA, and a catalog-fetch failure degrades the whole set to NA rather than erroring the wrapper. With position_detail = FALSE the five columns (and the catalog fetch) are skipped.

Value

A data frame with one row per stat for the athlete:

col_name types description
game_id character ESPN game identifier.
athlete_id character ESPN athlete id.
team_id character ESPN team id of the athlete's team (competitor id).
team_name character Team nickname; team_detail = TRUE only.

ESPN College Football Game Power Index (Matchup FPI)

Description

Get ESPN's Football Power Index (FPI) matchup projections for both teams in a single college football game, in long format.

Usage

espn_cfb_game_powerindex(game_id = NULL, team_detail = TRUE)

Arguments

game_id

(Integer required): ESPN game identifier.

team_detail

(Logical): when TRUE (default), fetch the ESPN team catalog once and join friendly team fields next to the team_id column (see Details). Set FALSE to skip the catalog fetch and the join.

Details

Wraps the ESPN core-v2 endpoint events/{game_id}/competitions/{game_id}/powerindex. The endpoint returns one ⁠$ref⁠ per team; this wrapper dereferences each and flattens the per-team stats array into one long frame – one row per (team x FPI metric). Metrics include the predicted point differential, matchup quality, and game-projection components ESPN derives from FPI for that specific game. The long shape absorbs ESPN's habit of adding and retiring metrics across seasons.

When team_detail = TRUE (the default) the ESPN team catalog (espn_cfb_teams()) is fetched once and friendly team fields are joined in next to the team_id column – team_name, team_abbreviation, team_location, team_display_name, team_short_display_name, team_nickname, team_color, team_alternate_color, team_logo_href, and team_logo_dark_href. A catalog failure degrades to NA rather than erroring the wrapper. Set team_detail = FALSE to skip the catalog fetch and the join.

Value

A data frame with one row per team-metric:

col_name types description
game_id character ESPN game identifier.
season integer Season (4-digit year) of the game.
team_id character ESPN team id (parsed from team_ref).
team_name character Team nickname; team_detail = TRUE only.

ESPN College Football Game Predictor (BPI Matchup Predictor)

Description

Get ESPN's pre-game matchup predictor (Football Power Index game projection) for a single college football game.

Usage

espn_cfb_game_predictor(game_id = NULL, team_detail = TRUE)

Arguments

game_id

(Integer required): ESPN game identifier for a completed game.

team_detail

(Logical): when TRUE (default), fetch the ESPN team catalog once and join friendly team fields next to the team_id column (see Details). Set FALSE to skip the catalog fetch and the join.

Details

Wraps the ESPN core-v2 endpoint events/{game_id}/competitions/{game_id}/predictor. ESPN's predictor resource carries one statistics block per team (home and away); this wrapper flattens both into one long frame – one row per (team x predictor metric). Metrics include each team's projected win probability (gameProjection), predicted point total, and matchup-quality scores.

This endpoint responds ⁠HTTP 400⁠ for future / not-yet-scheduled games and is only reliably populated for completed games. The ⁠@examples⁠ use a finished game; pass game_id values for completed games.

When team_detail = TRUE (the default) the ESPN team catalog (espn_cfb_teams()) is fetched once and friendly team fields are joined in next to the team_id column – team_name, team_abbreviation, team_location, team_display_name, team_short_display_name, team_nickname, team_color, team_alternate_color, team_logo_href, and team_logo_dark_href. A catalog failure degrades to NA rather than erroring the wrapper. Set team_detail = FALSE to skip the catalog fetch and the join.

Value

A data frame with one row per team-predictor metric:

col_name types description
game_id character ESPN game identifier.
matchup_name character Predictor matchup name (e.g. ⁠TNTC at Georgia⁠).
matchup_short_name character Short predictor matchup name (e.g. TNTC @ UGA).
last_modified character ISO timestamp the predictor was last run.
team_side character home or away.
team_id character ESPN team id (parsed from team_ref).
team_name character Team nickname; team_detail = TRUE only.
team_abbreviation character Team abbreviation; team_detail = TRUE only.
team_location character Team location / school name; team_detail = TRUE only.
team_display_name character Full team display name; team_detail = TRUE only.
team_short_display_name character Short team display name; team_detail = TRUE only.
team_nickname character Team nickname label; team_detail = TRUE only.
team_color character Primary team color; team_detail = TRUE only.
team_alternate_color character Alternate team color; team_detail = TRUE only.
team_logo_href character Default team logo URL; team_detail = TRUE only.
team_logo_dark_href character Dark-variant team logo URL; team_detail = TRUE only.
stat_name character Predictor metric key (e.g. gameProjection).
abbreviation character Metric abbreviation.
display_name character Human-readable metric name.
short_display_name character Short human-readable metric name.
value numeric Metric value.

ESPN College Football Game Win Probabilities

Description

Get ESPN's play-by-play win-probability series for a single college football game – one row per play.

Usage

espn_cfb_game_probabilities(game_id = NULL, team_detail = TRUE)

Arguments

game_id

(Integer required): ESPN game identifier for a completed game.

team_detail

(Logical): when TRUE (default), fetch the ESPN team catalog once and join friendly team fields next to the home_team_id / away_team_id columns (see Details). Set FALSE to skip the catalog fetch and the join.

Details

Wraps the paginated ESPN core-v2 endpoint events/{game_id}/competitions/{game_id}/probabilities. The endpoint is paginated; this wrapper loops every page and stacks the results into one frame – one row per play, each carrying the home / away / tie win percentages at that point in the game, plus spread-cover and total (over/under) probabilities. play_id is parsed from each row's play ⁠$ref⁠ so the series can be joined to espn_cfb_game_pbp().

This endpoint responds ⁠HTTP 400⁠ for future / not-yet-played games and is only populated for completed games. The ⁠@examples⁠ use a finished game; pass game_id values for completed games.

When team_detail = TRUE (the default) the ESPN team catalog (espn_cfb_teams()) is fetched once and friendly team fields are joined in next to both the home_team_id and away_team_id columns – e.g. home_team_name, home_team_abbreviation, ..., away_team_name, away_team_abbreviation, .... A catalog failure degrades to NA rather than erroring the wrapper. Set team_detail = FALSE to skip the catalog fetch and the join.

ESPN College Football Game Team Records

Description

Get each team's win-loss records (overall, home, road, conference) as they stood at the time of a single college football game.

Usage

espn_cfb_game_team_records(game_id = NULL, detail = FALSE, team_detail = TRUE)

Arguments

game_id

(Integer required): ESPN game identifier.

detail

(Logical): controls the output shape. One of:

  • FALSE (default) – the summary output, one row per (team x record type), with the columns shown in the Value table below.

  • TRUE – a long frame, one row per (team x record x stat) expanding each record's nested stats[] array (see Details).

team_detail

(Logical): when TRUE (default), fetch the ESPN team catalog (espn_cfb_teams()) once and join friendly team fields next to the team_id column – team_name, team_abbreviation, team_location, team_display_name, team_short_display_name, team_nickname, team_color, team_alternate_color, team_logo_href, and team_logo_dark_href, inserted immediately after team_id. Composes with detail – both output shapes carry team_id. A catalog failure degrades to NA rather than erroring the wrapper. Set FALSE to skip the catalog fetch and the join.

Details

Wraps the ESPN core-v2 endpoint events/{game_id}/competitions/{game_id}/competitors/{team_id}/records. This wrapper reads the teams list for the game and fetches the records resource for both teams, stacking the items arrays into one long frame – one row per (team x record type). Each record type carries a summary string (e.g. "2-0"). With detail = TRUE the per-record statistic breakdown (points-per-game, streak, ...) nested under each record is also expanded. home_away identifies which team a row belongs to.

When detail = TRUE the returned frame is in long format with one row per (team x record x stat), with columns: game_id, team_id, home_away, record_type (the record-type key, e.g. overall), record_summary (the record's win-loss summary string), stat_name, stat_type (the stat-type key, e.g. wins), abbreviation, display_name, short_display_name, description (ESPN's description of the stat), value, and display_value.

Value

A data frame with one row per team-record type (when detail = FALSE):

col_name types description
game_id character ESPN game identifier.
team_id character ESPN team id for the team.
team_name character Team nickname; team_detail = TRUE only.

  try(espn_cfb_game_team_records(game_id = 401628339, detail = TRUE))
  try(espn_cfb_game_team_records(game_id = 401628339,

ESPN College Football Game Team Roster

Description

Get the game-day roster for both teams in a single college football game, including each player's jersey number, starter flag, and active/did-not-play status.

Usage

espn_cfb_game_team_roster(
  game_id = NULL,
  position_detail = TRUE,
  team_detail = TRUE
)

Arguments

game_id

(Integer required): ESPN game identifier.

position_detail

(Logical): when TRUE (default), fetch the ESPN position catalog once and join it onto position_id, appending the five ⁠position_*⁠ detail columns shown in the Value table. A catalog failure degrades to NA rather than erroring the wrapper. Set FALSE to skip the extra fetch and return the original column set.

team_detail

(Logical): when TRUE (default), fetch the ESPN team catalog (espn_cfb_teams()) once and join friendly team fields next to the team_id column – team_name, team_abbreviation, team_location, team_display_name, team_short_display_name, team_nickname, team_color, team_alternate_color, team_logo_href, and team_logo_dark_href, inserted immediately after team_id. A catalog failure degrades to NA rather than erroring the wrapper. Set FALSE to skip the catalog fetch and the join.

Details

Wraps the ESPN core-v2 endpoint events/{game_id}/competitions/{game_id}/competitors/{team_id}/roster. This wrapper reads the teams list for the game and fetches the roster resource for both teams, stacking the entries arrays into one long frame – one row per (team x rostered player). home_away identifies which team a row belongs to. Players are returned as ESPN athlete ids; join to another athlete source for names.

When position_detail = TRUE (the default) the ESPN position catalog (espn_cfb_positions()) is fetched once and joined onto position_id, so the output carries the full position name / abbreviation rather than the bare id (see Details).

When position_detail = TRUE (the default), five columns are appended by joining the ESPN position catalog (espn_cfb_positions()) on position_id: position_name, position_display_name, position_abbreviation, position_leaf, and position_parent_id. The catalog is fetched once per call. A roster entry whose position_id is missing or unmatched receives NA for all five, and a catalog-fetch failure degrades the whole set to NA rather than erroring the wrapper. With position_detail = FALSE the five columns are omitted and the original roster schema is returned unchanged.

Value

A data frame with one row per rostered player:

col_name types description
game_id character ESPN game identifier.
team_id character ESPN team id for the team.
team_name character Team nickname; team_detail = TRUE only.
team_abbreviation character Team abbreviation; team_detail = TRUE only.
team_location character Team location / school name; team_detail = TRUE only.
team_display_name character Full team display name; team_detail = TRUE only.
team_short_display_name character Short team display name; team_detail = TRUE only.
team_nickname character Team nickname label; team_detail = TRUE only.
team_color character Primary team color; team_detail = TRUE only.
team_alternate_color character Alternate team color; team_detail = TRUE only.
team_logo_href character Default team logo URL; team_detail = TRUE only.
team_logo_dark_href character Dark-variant team logo URL; team_detail = TRUE only.
home_away character home or away.
athlete_id character ESPN athlete id (parsed from athlete_ref).
player_id character ESPN player id from the roster entry.
display_name character Player display name as shown by ESPN.
jersey character Jersey number.
position_id character ESPN position id (parsed from position_ref).

did_not_play logical TRUE if the player did not play.
valid logical TRUE if the roster entry is flagged valid by ESPN.
athlete_ref character ⁠$ref⁠ URL to the athlete-in-season resource.
position_ref character ⁠$ref⁠ URL to the position resource.
position_name character Position name (e.g. Quarterback); position_detail = TRUE only.
position_display_name character Human-readable position name; position_detail = TRUE only.
position_abbreviation character Position abbreviation (e.g. QB); position_detail = TRUE only.
position_leaf logical TRUE for a most-specific (leaf) position; position_detail = TRUE only.
position_parent_id character ESPN id of the parent position; position_detail = TRUE only.

  try(espn_cfb_game_team_roster(game_id = 401628339,
                                position_detail = FALSE))
  try(espn_cfb_game_team_roster(game_id = 401628339,
                                team_detail = FALSE))

ESPN College Football Game Team Statistics

Description

Get the full team box-score statistics for both teams in a single college football game, in long format.

Usage

espn_cfb_game_team_statistics(game_id = NULL, team_detail = TRUE)

Arguments

game_id

(Integer required): ESPN game identifier.

team_detail

(Logical): when TRUE (default), fetch the ESPN team catalog once and join friendly team fields next to the team_id column (see Details). Set FALSE to skip the catalog fetch and the join.

Details

Wraps the ESPN core-v2 endpoint events/{game_id}/competitions/{game_id}/competitors/{team_id}/statistics. This wrapper reads the teams list for the game and fetches the statistics resource for both teams, flattening the nested splits -> categories -> stats tree into one long frame: one row per (team x category x stat). The long shape absorbs ESPN's habit of adding and retiring stat keys across seasons. Pivot wider with tidyr::pivot_wider() keyed on stat_name when a wide team box is wanted.

When team_detail = TRUE (the default) the ESPN team catalog (espn_cfb_teams()) is fetched once and friendly team fields are joined in next to the team_id column – team_name, team_abbreviation, team_location, team_display_name, team_short_display_name, team_nickname, team_color, team_alternate_color, team_logo_href, and team_logo_dark_href. A catalog failure degrades to NA rather than erroring the wrapper. Set team_detail = FALSE to skip the catalog fetch and the join.

Value

A data frame with one row per team-category-stat:

col_name types description
game_id character ESPN game identifier.
team_id character ESPN team id for the team.
team_name character Team nickname; team_detail = TRUE only.
team_abbreviation character Team abbreviation; team_detail = TRUE only.
team_location character Team location / school name; team_detail = TRUE only.
team_display_name character Full team display name; team_detail = TRUE only.
team_short_display_name character Short team display name; team_detail = TRUE only.
team_nickname character Team nickname label; team_detail = TRUE only.

ESPN College Football Game Teams

Description

Get the two teams (home and away teams) for a single college football game, with team identifiers, home/away designation, winner flag, and the ⁠$ref⁠ URLs to every per-team sub-resource.

Usage

espn_cfb_game_teams(
  game_id = NULL,
  team_detail = TRUE,
  format = c("long", "wide")
)

Arguments

game_id

(Integer required): ESPN game identifier.

team_detail

(Logical): when TRUE (default), fetch the ESPN team catalog once and join friendly team fields next to every team-id column (team_id, competitor_id; see Details). Set FALSE to skip the catalog fetch and the join.

format

(Character): output shape, one of "long" (default, one row per competitor) or "wide" (one row per game with ⁠home_*⁠ / ⁠away_*⁠ columns). See Details.

Details

Wraps the ESPN core-v2 endpoint events/{game_id}/competitions/{game_id}/competitors. The competition id always equals the game id. By default returns one row per team (two rows per game). Each row carries the ⁠$ref⁠ URLs ESPN publishes for that team's score, linescores, roster, statistics, leaders, and record resources – the dedicated ⁠espn_cfb_game_team_*()⁠ wrappers fetch and flatten those resources for you. curated_rank is the AP/Coaches-poll style rank ESPN attaches to the team at game time.

The format argument controls the output shape:

When team_detail = TRUE (the default) the ESPN team catalog (espn_cfb_teams()) is fetched once and friendly team fields are joined in next to every team-id column – team_id and competitor_id. For team_id the siblings are team_name, team_abbreviation, team_location, team_display_name, team_short_display_name, team_nickname, team_color, team_alternate_color, team_logo_href, team_logo_dark_href; competitor_id gains the parallel competitor_name, competitor_abbreviation, .... team_detail composes with format – in "wide" mode the home_team_id / away_team_id columns get home_team_name / away_team_name / etc. too. A catalog failure degrades to NA rather than erroring the wrapper. Set team_detail = FALSE to skip the catalog fetch and the join.

Value

A data frame. When format = "long" (default), one row per team (two per game):

col_name types description
game_id character ESPN game identifier.
competitor_id character ESPN competitor id (equals the team id).
competitor_name character Team nickname; team_detail = TRUE only.
competitor_abbreviation character Team abbreviation; team_detail = TRUE only.

competitor_alternate_color character Alternate team color; team_detail = TRUE only.
competitor_logo_href character Default team logo URL; team_detail = TRUE only.
competitor_logo_dark_href character Dark-variant team logo URL; team_detail = TRUE only.
team_id character ESPN team id (parsed from team_ref).
team_name character Team nickname; team_detail = TRUE only.

record_ref character ⁠$ref⁠ URL to the team record resource.
ranks_ref character ⁠$ref⁠ URL to the team week-ranks resource.
competitor_ref character ⁠$ref⁠ URL to the competitor resource itself.

When format = "wide" the result is a single row per game: game_id stays one key column and every other column above is emitted twice, prefixed home_ and away_ (e.g. home_team_id, home_team_name, home_winner, home_curated_rank, away_team_id, away_team_name, ...).

ESPN College Football Groups & Conferences

Description

Get the full ESPN group hierarchy for a college football season – the division roll-ups (Division I, FBS, FCS) and every conference nested beneath them, flattened into one catalog table.

Usage

espn_cfb_groups(year = NULL, season_type = 2)

Arguments

year

(Integer required): Season, 4 digit format (YYYY).
Minimum value accepted: 2001

season_type

(Integer default 2): ESPN season type id. 2 = regular season is the sensible default.

Details

Wraps the ESPN core-v2 endpoint sports.core.api.espn.com/v2/sports/football/leagues/college-football/seasons/{year}/types/{season_type}/groups. ESPN's group index only exposes two top-level groups; the conferences sit several levels deep under children. This wrapper walks the tree recursively, dereferencing every node, and returns one row per group. Filter is_conference == TRUE for the actual conferences (ACC, SEC, Big Ten, ...); the group_id of a conference is what espn_cfb_standings() accepts as group_id. The parent_group_id column lets you reconstruct the division -> conference nesting.

Value

A data frame with one row per group:

col_name types description
season integer Season (4-digit year).
season_type integer ESPN season type id queried.
group_id character ESPN group id.
name character Group / conference name.
abbreviation character Group abbreviation.
short_name character Group short name.
is_conference logical TRUE for an actual conference, FALSE for a division roll-up.
parent_group_id character group_id of the parent node (NA at the root).
slug character Group slug.
group_ref character ⁠$ref⁠ URL to the group resource.
standings_ref character ⁠$ref⁠ URL to the group standings resource.

Get ESPN college football PBP data

Description

Get ESPN college football PBP data

Usage

espn_cfb_pbp(game_id, epa_wpa = FALSE, engine = NULL, output = "default")

Arguments

game_id

Game ID

epa_wpa

Logical parameter (TRUE/FALSE) to return the Expected Points Added/Win Probability Added variables

engine

(Character optional): which play-by-play engine to run. One of "v2", "legacy" or "auto"; NULL (default) resolves from getOption("cfbfastR.pbp_engine"), which itself defaults to "v2" as of this release. "legacy" is the escape hatch that reproduces the pre-2.3.0 frame; "auto" means whatever this version of the package considers current, so it is carried forward by future default flips.

output

(Character): modeled-output column set, one of "default", "lean" or "full". Only meaningful when the call reaches the v2 engine; it is accepted here so a delegating caller can reach the tier selector without switching to the espn_cfb_pbp_v2() name.

Value

A data frame with college football play-by-play data

   try(espn_cfb_pbp(game_id = 401282614, epa_wpa = TRUE))

Get ESPN College Football Play-by-Play (core-v2)

Description

The core-v2-sourced successor to espn_cfb_pbp(). Returns one tidy row per play for a single college football game, optionally with the full Expected Points Added (EPA) / Win Probability Added (WPA) modeling attached. It supersedes the legacy site-v2 espn_cfb_pbp(): instead of parsing the deeply-nested site-v2 summary feed, it sources the play-by-play from the structured ESPN core-v2 drives endpoint in a single request via espn_cfb_game_drives() – one structured call rather than a sprawling summary parse, so it is faster and more robust to the site-v2 feed's column drift.

Usage

espn_cfb_pbp_v2(
  game_id,
  epa_wpa = FALSE,
  output = "default",
  resolve_names = TRUE
)

Arguments

game_id

(Integer required): ESPN game identifier.

epa_wpa

(Logical): when TRUE, run the full EPA/WPA modeling pipeline and return the modeled frame; when FALSE (default) return the assembled core-v2 play-by-play frame.

output

(Character): controls the modeled-output column set when epa_wpa = TRUE. Ignored when epa_wpa = FALSE. Defaults to "default". Must be one of:

  • "default" (recommended) – drops pipeline lag/lead intermediates, redundant alternates (sack_vec, turnover_indicator, kick_play, missing_yard_flag), and drive-result aliases (drive_result2, drive_result_detailed_flag, lag_drive_result_detailed, lead_drive_result_detailed, lag_new_drive_pts). Keeps orig_play_type and pts_scored (they carry useful per-play information distinct from the canonical columns) and the per-branch WPA scratchpad. ~75 columns lighter than "full".

  • "lean" – everything "default" drops, plus the WPA computation scratchpad. For dashboards / game logs.

  • "full" – legacy behavior, drops only the player-name aliases.

resolve_names

(Logical): when TRUE (default) and epa_wpa = TRUE, spend one extra request per game on ESPN's play-by-play sidecar to (a) render participant names in full ("Jalen Mitchell" rather than the core-v2 roster's "J. Mitchell") and (b) add the per-player box score as a second identity source, which is the only one available on the large share of games where ESPN 404s the roster resource. Memoised per game_id, so the two uses cost one request between them. Set FALSE for a bulk sweep that would rather have the short names than the requests. Ignored when epa_wpa = FALSE.

Details

Play-by-play assembly (always). The play rows come from espn_cfb_game_drives(game_id, plays = "expand", team_detail = TRUE) – one row per play, in the full espn_cfb_game_pbp() schema, with each play's drive-level context carried alongside (⁠drive_*⁠ columns) and the ESPN team catalog joined onto every team-id column. Game-level metadata matching the legacy espn_cfb_pbp() output – season, season_type, week, neutral_site, conference_competition, game_date, and the home_team_id / home_team / away_team_id / away_team (plus abbreviations) – is attached from the core-v2 event resource and espn_cfb_game_teams().

Game-meta bridge. Season / season_type / week / neutral_site / conference_competition / game_date and the full home/away block – including ⁠*_team_name⁠, ⁠*_team_color⁠, ⁠*_team_alternate_color⁠, and the week-specific ⁠*_team_rank⁠ – are sourced via .espn_pbp_game_meta(), which queries the core-v2 event resource. This makes espn_cfb_pbp_v2() a strict meta-column superset of legacy espn_cfb_pbp().

Native participant columns. This wrapper requests participants = "wide" and team_participants = "wide" from espn_cfb_game_drives(), so the play frame carries type-keyed ⁠{type}_player_id⁠ / ⁠{type}_player_name⁠ / ⁠{type}_player_position⁠ columns (e.g. passer_player_id, rusher_player_id, tackler_player_id) and ⁠{type}_team_*⁠ columns. Wide mode also emits the ⁠{type}_player_ids⁠ / ⁠{type}_player_names⁠ list-columns; downstream parquet/CSV writers must drop or stringify these before serialization. One additional roster fetch + position-catalog fetch per game.

epa_wpa behaviour. When epa_wpa = FALSE (default) the assembled core-v2 frame is returned as-is. When epa_wpa = TRUE the core-v2 columns are mapped into the exact column schema the legacy espn_cfb_pbp() hands to its EPA/WPA pipeline, and the same modeling stack is run verbatim – penalty_detection(), add_play_counts(), clean_pbp_dat(), clean_drive_dat(), add_yardage(), add_player_cols(), prep_epa_df_after(), create_epa() and create_wpa_naive(). The statistical models (the mgcv GAMs, the multinomial EP model, the FG model and the WP model shipped with the package) are reused unchanged; this wrapper only supplies the column adapter between the core-v2 play schema and the modeling input contract. The modeled EPA/WPA columns the pipeline emits – ep_before, ep_after, EPA, wp_before, wp_after, wpa, and the supporting probability and cumulative columns – are then joined back onto the full epa_wpa = FALSE context frame by play_id. The epa_wpa = TRUE output is therefore a strict superset of the epa_wpa = FALSE output: every game-metadata and drive-context column the default path produces, plus the EPA/WPA model columns. The join is a left join from the context frame, so no play row is dropped and the row count is identical to the epa_wpa = FALSE result.

Value

A data frame with one row per play. When epa_wpa = FALSE, the assembled core-v2 play-by-play frame:

col_name types description
game_id character ESPN game identifier.
play_id character ESPN play id.
type_text character Play type label (e.g. Rush, ⁠Pass Reception⁠).

(plus the full espn_cfb_game_drives() plays = "expand" column set – play start/end down, distance, yard line, clock, scores, the ⁠drive_*⁠ drive context, team detail – and the attached game-metadata columns season, season_type, week, neutral_site, conference_competition, game_date, home_team_id, home_team, away_team_id, away_team).

When epa_wpa = TRUE, every column from the epa_wpa = FALSE frame above (game metadata, ⁠drive_*⁠ context, team detail and the full espn_cfb_game_drives() play schema) plus the modeled EPA/WPA columns produced by the existing pipeline – ep_before, ep_after, EPA, wp_before, wp_after, wpa and the supporting probability and cumulative columns. The epa_wpa = TRUE columns are a strict superset of the epa_wpa = FALSE columns, and the row count is unchanged.

ESPN College Football Recruits

espn_cfb_recruits(year = 2024, max_results = 25)

Wraps the ESPN core-v2 endpoint sports.core.api.espn.com/v2/sports/football/leagues/college-football/seasons/{year}/athletes/{athlete_id}. The season-scoped path is used so the returned team_id reflects the team the player was on that season. The wrapper returns a single-row tibble: scalar bio fields are flattened inline, nested objects (position, status, birthPlace, experience) are flattened with a prefix, and the nested ⁠$ref⁠ URLs are surfaced as ⁠*_ref⁠ columns rather than auto-dereferenced. Harvest athlete ids from espn_cfb_players().

When team_detail = TRUE (the default) the ESPN team catalog (espn_cfb_teams()) is fetched once and friendly team fields are joined in next to the team_id column – team_name, team_abbreviation, team_location, team_display_name, team_short_display_name, team_nickname, team_color, team_alternate_color, team_logo_href, and team_logo_dark_href, inserted immediately after team_id. A catalog failure degrades to NA rather than erroring the wrapper. Set team_detail = FALSE to skip the catalog fetch and the join.

When position_detail = TRUE (the default) the ESPN position catalog (espn_cfb_positions()) is fetched once and joined onto position_id, appending position_display_name, position_leaf, and position_parent_id (the existing position_name / position_abbreviation columns are left in place). A catalog failure degrades to NA rather than erroring the wrapper. Set position_detail = FALSE to skip the catalog fetch and the join.

ESPN College Football Player Season Statistics (Long Format)

Description

Get a single college football player's full season statistics from ESPN – every published stat across every category, in long format (one row per stat).

Usage

espn_cfb_player_career_stats(
  athlete_id = NULL,
  year = NULL,
  season_type = 2,
  athlete_detail = TRUE
)

Arguments

athlete_id

(Character/Integer required): ESPN athlete id.

year

(Integer required): Season, 4 digit format (YYYY).
Minimum value accepted: 2004

season_type

(Integer optional, default 2): ESPN season type. 2 = regular season, 3 = postseason.

athlete_detail

(Logical): when TRUE (default), fetch the requested athlete's ESPN record once and append the ⁠athlete_*⁠ name columns (see Details). Set FALSE to skip the fetch, reproducing the prior output exactly.

Details

Wraps the ESPN core-v2 endpoint sports.core.api.espn.com/v2/sports/football/leagues/college-football/seasons/{year}/types/{season_type}/athletes/{athlete_id}/statistics. ESPN nests a player's season stats under splits -> categories[] -> stats[]; this wrapper flattens that tree to long format – each row is one stat, tagged with its category (e.g. passing, rushing, defensive). The long shape is deliberate: ESPN adds and retires stats and whole categories across positions and seasons, and a long frame absorbs that drift without breaking column expectations. Pivot wider with tidyr::pivot_wider() keyed on stat_name for a wide table. Each stat carries both a season-total value (value) and a per-game value (per_game_value).

When athlete_detail = TRUE (the default) the requested athlete's ESPN record is fetched once and the human-readable name columns athlete_display_name, athlete_first_name, athlete_last_name, athlete_jersey, athlete_position, and athlete_position_abbreviation are appended to every row. This is a single cheap fetch – the wrapper already takes one athlete_id. A fetch failure degrades the name columns to NA rather than erroring the wrapper. Set athlete_detail = FALSE to skip the fetch and reproduce the prior output exactly.

Value

A data frame with one row per stat:

col_name types description
athlete_id character ESPN athlete id.
season integer Season (4-digit year).
season_type integer ESPN season type (2 = regular, 3 = postseason).
category character Stat category (e.g. passing, rushing).
category_display character Human-readable category name.
stat_name character Internal stat key (e.g. passingYards).
display_name character Human-readable stat name.
abbreviation character Stat abbreviation.
description character ESPN's description of the stat.
value numeric Season-total value of the stat.
display_value character Display-formatted season-total value.
per_game_value numeric Per-game value of the stat.
per_game_display_value character Display-formatted per-game value.
athlete_display_name character Player display name; athlete_detail = TRUE only.
athlete_first_name character Player first name; athlete_detail = TRUE only.
athlete_last_name character Player last name; athlete_detail = TRUE only.
athlete_jersey character Player jersey number; athlete_detail = TRUE only.
athlete_position character Player position name; athlete_detail = TRUE only.
athlete_position_abbreviation character Player position abbreviation; athlete_detail = TRUE only.

)

Arguments

athlete_id

(Character/Integer required): ESPN athlete id.

Minimum value accepted: 2004

team_detail

(Logical): when TRUE (default), fetch the ESPN team catalog once and join friendly team fields next to the team_id column (see Details). Set FALSE to skip the catalog fetch and the join.

athlete_detail

(Logical): when TRUE (default), fetch the requested athlete's ESPN record once and append the ⁠athlete_*⁠ name columns (see Details). Set FALSE to skip the fetch, reproducing the prior output exactly.

Details

Wraps the ESPN core-v2 endpoint sports.core.api.espn.com/v2/sports/football/leagues/college-football/seasons/{year}/athletes/{athlete_id}/eventlog. The event log lists every game the player appeared on a roster for in the requested season. Per-game statistics are referenced by a statistics_ref URL rather than being inlined – they are not auto-dereferenced, since one fetch per game would be costly; resolve a particular game with a direct request to that URL when needed. If the player did not play in the requested season ESPN returns an empty payload and this wrapper returns an empty data frame.

When team_detail = TRUE (the default) the ESPN team catalog (espn_cfb_teams()) is fetched once and friendly team fields are joined in next to the team_id column – team_name, team_abbreviation, team_location, team_display_name, team_short_display_name, team_nickname, team_color, team_alternate_color, team_logo_href, and team_logo_dark_href, inserted immediately after team_id. A catalog failure degrades to NA rather than erroring the wrapper. Set team_detail = FALSE to skip the catalog fetch and the join.

When athlete_detail = TRUE (the default) the requested athlete's ESPN record is fetched once and the human-readable name columns athlete_display_name, athlete_first_name, athlete_last_name, athlete_jersey, athlete_position, and athlete_position_abbreviation are appended to every row. This is a single cheap fetch – the wrapper already takes one athlete_id. A fetch failure degrades the name columns to NA rather than erroring the wrapper. Set athlete_detail = FALSE to skip the fetch and reproduce the prior output exactly.

Value

A data frame with one row per game:

ESPN College Football Player Game Log

Description

Get a single college football player's game-by-game statistical log for a season – one row per game, with the player's stat line joined to opponent, score, and result metadata.

Usage

espn_cfb_player_gamelog(
  athlete_id = NULL,
  year = NULL,
  team_detail = TRUE,
  athlete_detail = TRUE
)

Arguments

athlete_id

(Character/Integer required): ESPN athlete id.

year

(Integer required): Season, 4 digit format (YYYY).
Minimum value accepted: 2004

team_detail

(Logical): when TRUE (default), fetch the ESPN team catalog once and join friendly team fields next to the team_id column (see Details). Set FALSE to skip the catalog fetch and the join.

athlete_detail

(Logical): when TRUE (default), fetch the requested athlete's ESPN record once and append the ⁠athlete_*⁠ name columns (see Details). Set FALSE to skip the fetch, reproducing the prior output exactly.

Details

Wraps the ESPN web-v3 endpoint site.web.api.espn.com/apis/common/v3/sports/football/college-football/athletes/{athlete_id}/gamelog. Unlike the core-v2 espn_cfb_player_eventlog() (which returns only ⁠$ref⁠ URLs), this endpoint ships fully-resolved per-game stat lines. The wrapper joins three blocks of the payload: the events map (game metadata – opponent, date, score, result), the seasonTypes -> categories -> events block (the per-game stat values), and the top-level labels / names arrays (the stat column names). Stat columns are named from the names array (e.g. completions, passing_yards); they vary by the player's position. If the player did not play in the requested season ESPN returns only a filters object and this wrapper returns an empty data frame.

When team_detail = TRUE (the default) the ESPN team catalog (espn_cfb_teams()) is fetched once and friendly team fields are joined in next to the team_id column – team_name, team_abbreviation, team_location, team_display_name, team_short_display_name, team_nickname, team_color, team_alternate_color, team_logo_href, and team_logo_dark_href, inserted immediately after team_id. A catalog failure degrades to NA rather than erroring the wrapper. Set team_detail = FALSE to skip the catalog fetch and the join.

When athlete_detail = TRUE (the default) the requested athlete's ESPN record is fetched once and the human-readable name columns athlete_display_name, athlete_first_name, athlete_last_name, athlete_jersey, athlete_position, and athlete_position_abbreviation are appended to every row. This is a single cheap fetch – the wrapper already takes one athlete_id. A fetch failure degrades the name columns to NA rather than erroring the wrapper. Set athlete_detail = FALSE to skip the fetch and reproduce the prior output exactly.

Value

A data frame with one row per game. The leading columns are fixed; the trailing stat columns vary by position:

col_name types description
athlete_id character ESPN athlete id.
season integer Season (4-digit year).
season_type character Season-type label (e.g. ⁠2024 Regular Season⁠).
game_id character ESPN event (game) id.
game_date character Game date (ISO 8601).
week integer Week number.
at_vs character vs (home) or @ (away).
opponent_id character ESPN team id of the opponent.
opponent_name character Opponent display name.
opponent_abbr character Opponent abbreviation.
team_id character ESPN team id the player played for.
team_name character Team nickname; team_detail = TRUE only.
team_abbreviation character Team abbreviation; team_detail = TRUE only.
team_location character Team location / school name; team_detail = TRUE only.
team_display_name character Full team display name; team_detail = TRUE only.
team_short_display_name character Short team display name; team_detail = TRUE only.
team_nickname character Team nickname label; team_detail = TRUE only.
team_color character Primary team color; team_detail = TRUE only.
team_alternate_color character Alternate team color; team_detail = TRUE only.
team_logo_href character Default team logo URL; team_detail = TRUE only.
team_logo_dark_href character Dark-variant team logo URL; team_detail = TRUE only.
home_team_score character Home team final score.
away_team_score character Away team final score.
game_result character Game result for the player's team (W/L).
score character Final score string.
athlete_display_name character Player display name; athlete_detail = TRUE only.
athlete_first_name character Player first name; athlete_detail = TRUE only.
athlete_last_name character Player last name; athlete_detail = TRUE only.
athlete_jersey character Player jersey number; athlete_detail = TRUE only.
athlete_position character Player position name; athlete_detail = TRUE only.
athlete_position_abbreviation character Player position abbreviation; athlete_detail = TRUE only.
... character One column per stat in the names array (varies).

ESPN College Football Player Statistics Overview

Description

Get the season-by-season statistics overview ESPN shows on a college football player's player page – one row per season the player has played, with the headline stat line for each.

Usage

espn_cfb_player_overview(athlete_id = NULL, year = NULL, athlete_detail = TRUE)

Arguments

athlete_id

(Character/Integer required): ESPN athlete id.

year

(Integer required): Season, 4 digit format (YYYY).
Minimum value accepted: 2004

athlete_detail

(Logical): when TRUE (default), fetch the requested athlete's ESPN record once and append the ⁠athlete_*⁠ name columns (see Details). Set FALSE to skip the fetch, reproducing the prior output exactly.

Details

Wraps the ESPN web-v3 endpoint site.web.api.espn.com/apis/common/v3/sports/football/college-football/athletes/{athlete_id}/overview. The overview payload's statistics block is the player's career summary table: it carries a splits array with one entry per season the player has played (most recent first), plus the names array of stat keys. This wrapper returns that career table – one row per season – joining each season's stat values to the names columns. Note that the season argument selects the player's player-page context but the statistics block is always the player's full multi-season career table; the returned stat_season column identifies which season each row describes. Stat columns vary by the player's position. For game-by-game data use espn_cfb_player_gamelog().

When athlete_detail = TRUE (the default) the requested athlete's ESPN record is fetched once and the human-readable name columns athlete_display_name, athlete_first_name, athlete_last_name, athlete_jersey, athlete_position, and athlete_position_abbreviation are appended to every row. This is a single cheap fetch – the wrapper already takes one athlete_id. A fetch failure degrades the name columns to NA rather than erroring the wrapper. Set athlete_detail = FALSE to skip the fetch and reproduce the prior output exactly.

Value

A data frame with one row per season in the player's career table. The leading columns are fixed; the trailing stat columns vary by position:

col_name types description
athlete_id character ESPN athlete id.
season integer Season passed as the player-page context argument.
stat_season character Season this row's stat line describes.
athlete_display_name character Player display name; athlete_detail = TRUE only.
athlete_first_name character Player first name; athlete_detail = TRUE only.
athlete_last_name character Player last name; athlete_detail = TRUE only.
athlete_jersey character Player jersey number; athlete_detail = TRUE only.
athlete_position character Player position name; athlete_detail = TRUE only.
athlete_position_abbreviation character Player position abbreviation; athlete_detail = TRUE only.
... character One column per stat in the names array (varies).

ESPN College Football Player Seasons

Description

Get the list of seasons a single college football player has a statistical record for on ESPN – one row per season, with the ⁠$ref⁠ URLs to that season's statistics.

Usage

espn_cfb_player_seasons(athlete_id = NULL, athlete_detail = TRUE)

Arguments

athlete_id

(Character/Integer required): ESPN athlete id.

athlete_detail

(Logical): when TRUE (default), fetch the requested athlete's ESPN record once and append the ⁠athlete_*⁠ name columns (see Details). Set FALSE to skip the fetch, reproducing the prior output exactly.

Details

Wraps the ESPN core-v2 endpoint sports.core.api.espn.com/v2/sports/football/leagues/college-football/athletes/{athlete_id}/statisticslog. ESPN exposes no dedicated ⁠/athletes/{id}/seasons⁠ resource for college football (that path 404s); the statistics log is the closest thing – it returns one entry per season the player accumulated statistics in, which is exactly the player's season list. Each entry carries the season ⁠$ref⁠ and one or more statistics references (split by stat type, e.g. total). The statistics themselves are not auto-dereferenced; use espn_cfb_player_career_stats() for a resolved, long-format stat table for a given season.

When athlete_detail = TRUE (the default) the requested athlete's ESPN record is fetched once (from the league-wide athlete resource, since this wrapper takes no year) and the human-readable name columns athlete_display_name, athlete_first_name, athlete_last_name, athlete_jersey, athlete_position, and athlete_position_abbreviation are appended to every row. This is a single cheap fetch – the wrapper already takes one athlete_id. A fetch failure degrades the name columns to NA rather than erroring the wrapper. Set athlete_detail = FALSE to skip the fetch and reproduce the prior output exactly.

Value

A data frame with one row per season-stat-type entry:

col_name types description
athlete_id character ESPN athlete id.
season integer Season (4-digit year) the player has a record in.
stat_type character Statistics type for the entry (e.g. total).
season_ref character ⁠$ref⁠ URL to the season resource.
statistics_ref character ⁠$ref⁠ URL to the season statistics resource.
athlete_display_name character Player display name; athlete_detail = TRUE only.
athlete_first_name character Player first name; athlete_detail = TRUE only.
athlete_last_name character Player last name; athlete_detail = TRUE only.
athlete_jersey character Player jersey number; athlete_detail = TRUE only.
athlete_position character Player position name; athlete_detail = TRUE only.
athlete_position_abbreviation character Player position abbreviation; athlete_detail = TRUE only.

ESPN College Football Player Statistical Splits

Description

Get a single college football player's statistical splits for a season – stat lines broken out by situation (by month, by quarter, by half, by down, by field position, and more).

Usage

espn_cfb_player_splits(athlete_id = NULL, year = NULL, athlete_detail = TRUE)

Arguments

athlete_id

(Character/Integer required): ESPN athlete id.

year

(Integer required): Season, 4 digit format (YYYY).
Minimum value accepted: 2004

athlete_detail

(Logical): when TRUE (default), fetch the requested athlete's ESPN record once and append the ⁠athlete_*⁠ name columns (see Details). Set FALSE to skip the fetch, reproducing the prior output exactly.

Details

Wraps the ESPN web-v3 endpoint site.web.api.espn.com/apis/common/v3/sports/football/college-football/athletes/{athlete_id}/splits. ESPN groups splits under splitCategories[] (e.g. byMonth, byQuarter, byDown, byFieldPosition); each category holds one or more individual splits (e.g. the rows under byQuarter are ⁠1st Quarter⁠, ⁠2nd Quarter⁠, ...). This wrapper returns one row per individual split, tagged with its parent category, and joins the split's stat values to the top-level names array for column names. Stat columns vary by the player's position.

When athlete_detail = TRUE (the default) the requested athlete's ESPN record is fetched once and the human-readable name columns athlete_display_name, athlete_first_name, athlete_last_name, athlete_jersey, athlete_position, and athlete_position_abbreviation are appended to every row. This is a single cheap fetch – the wrapper already takes one athlete_id. A fetch failure degrades the name columns to NA rather than erroring the wrapper. Set athlete_detail = FALSE to skip the fetch and reproduce the prior output exactly.

Value

A data frame with one row per split. The leading columns are fixed; the trailing stat columns vary by position:

col_name types description
athlete_id character ESPN athlete id.
season integer Season (4-digit year).
category character Split category key (e.g. byQuarter, byDown).
category_display character Human-readable split category name.
split_name character Individual split name (e.g. ⁠1st Quarter⁠).
split_abbr character Individual split abbreviation.
athlete_display_name character Player display name; athlete_detail = TRUE only.
athlete_first_name character Player first name; athlete_detail = TRUE only.
athlete_last_name character Player last name; athlete_detail = TRUE only.
athlete_jersey character Player jersey number; athlete_detail = TRUE only.
athlete_position character Player position name; athlete_detail = TRUE only.
athlete_position_abbreviation character Player position abbreviation; athlete_detail = TRUE only.
... character One column per stat in the names array (varies).

year

(Integer required): Season, 4 digit format (YYYY).
Minimum value accepted: 2004

athlete_detail

(Logical): when TRUE (default), append the ⁠athlete_*⁠ name columns via one extra athlete fetch.

Value

A data frame with one row per (category x team-season x stat):

col_name types description
athlete_id character ESPN athlete id.
season integer Requested season (4-digit year).
category character Stat category key (e.g. passing).
category_display character Human-readable category name.

ESPN College Football Players Index

Description

Get a paginated index of ESPN college football players for a season. Each row is one player reference (id + ⁠$ref⁠ URL); dereference a row with espn_cfb_player() to retrieve the full player record.

Usage

espn_cfb_players(
  year = NULL,
  page = 1,
  max_pages = 1,
  limit = 100,
  athlete_detail = FALSE
)

Arguments

year

(Integer required): Season, 4 digit format (YYYY).
Minimum value accepted: 1936

page

(Integer optional, default 1): First page of the index to fetch.

max_pages

(Integer optional, default 1): Number of consecutive pages to fetch starting at page. Each page holds limit players.

limit

(Integer optional, default 100): Players per page (ESPN page size).

athlete_detail

(Logical): when TRUE, dereference each player returned and append the ⁠athlete_*⁠ name columns (see Details). This costs one HTTP call per player, so it defaults to FALSE; setting it FALSE reproduces the prior output exactly.

Details

Wraps the ESPN core-v2 endpoint sports.core.api.espn.com/v2/sports/football/leagues/college-football/seasons/{year}/athletes. The season-scoped index contains roughly 99,500 players, returned in fixed-size pages – this wrapper deliberately returns id + ⁠$ref⁠ rows only and never dereferences the individual player records, because a full crawl would be tens of thousands of HTTP calls. Walk the index a page at a time with page, and cap how far a single call goes with max_pages. The total page count for the season is reported in the page_count column so a caller can drive its own pagination loop. To resolve an individual player to a full record, pass its athlete_id to espn_cfb_player().

When athlete_detail = TRUE the index is enriched with the human-readable name columns athlete_display_name, athlete_first_name, athlete_last_name, athlete_jersey, athlete_position, and athlete_position_abbreviation. There is no bulk athlete-name catalog, so resolving names here costs one HTTP call per player returned – with the default limit = 100 that is 100 extra requests per page. It therefore defaults to FALSE. A per-athlete fetch failure leaves that player's name columns NA rather than erroring the wrapper. Keep limit small (or athlete_detail = FALSE) when walking many pages.

Value

A data frame with one row per player reference:

col_name types description
season integer Season (4-digit year).
athlete_id character ESPN athlete id (parsed from athlete_ref).
athlete_ref character ⁠$ref⁠ URL to the athlete-in-season resource.
page integer Index page this player was returned on.
page_count integer Total number of pages in the season index.
count integer Total number of players in the season index.
athlete_display_name character Player display name; athlete_detail = TRUE only.
athlete_first_name character Player first name; athlete_detail = TRUE only.
athlete_last_name character Player last name; athlete_detail = TRUE only.
athlete_jersey character Player jersey number; athlete_detail = TRUE only.
athlete_position character Player position name; athlete_detail = TRUE only.
athlete_position_abbreviation character Player position abbreviation; athlete_detail = TRUE only.

ESPN College Football Position Detail

Description

Get the ESPN core-v2 detail record for a single college football player position – name, display name, abbreviation, leaf flag, and the parent position id.

Usage

espn_cfb_position(position_id = NULL)

Arguments

position_id

(Integer required): ESPN position id.

Details

Wraps the ESPN core-v2 endpoint sports.core.api.espn.com/v2/sports/football/leagues/college-football/positions/{position_id}. espn_cfb_positions() returns the position index; this wrapper returns the single-position detail for one id. ESPN's position table is a tree – specific positions roll up under broader ones; the leaf flag marks the most specific positions and parent_id (when present) reconstructs the grouping. Returns a single-row tibble. Enumerate position_ids with espn_cfb_positions().

Value

A single-row data frame:

col_name types description
position_id character ESPN position id.
name character Position name (e.g. Quarterback).
display_name character Human-readable position name.
abbreviation character Position abbreviation (e.g. QB).
leaf logical TRUE for a most-specific (leaf) position.
parent_id character ESPN id of the parent position (NA at the root).
position_ref character ⁠$ref⁠ URL to the position resource.

Wraps the ESPN core-v2 endpoint sports.core.api.espn.com/v2/sports/football/leagues/college-football/seasons/{year}/powerindex. Returns one row per team-metric in long format: each team contributes one row for every predictive metric (FPI, projected wins, strength of record, ...) and every efficiency component (offensive, defensive, and special-teams efficiency, ...). The long shape is deliberate – ESPN adds and retires metrics across seasons, and a long frame absorbs that drift without breaking column expectations. Pivot wider with tidyr::pivot_wider() keyed on stat_name when a wide table is wanted.

Value

A data frame with one row per team-metric:

col_name types description
season integer Season (4-digit year).
team_id character ESPN team id (parsed from team_ref).
team_ref character ⁠$ref⁠ URL to the team-in-season resource.
metric_group character predictive or efficiency.
stat_name character Internal metric key (e.g. fpi, offefficiency).
abbreviation character Metric abbreviation.
display_name character Human-readable metric name.
value numeric Metric value.
display_value character Display-formatted metric value as shown on ESPN.
description character ESPN's description of the metric.

ESPN College Football Total Quarterback Rating (QBR)

Description

Get ESPN's Total Quarterback Rating (QBR) and its full set of clutch-weighted EPA components for a college football season.

Usage

espn_cfb_qbr(year = NULL, group = 80, athlete_detail = FALSE)

Arguments

year

(Integer required): Season, 4 digit format (YYYY).
Minimum value accepted: 2004

group

(Integer default 80): ESPN group id. 80 = all FBS. Conference group ids (e.g. 4 ACC, 8 Big 12, 12 SEC, 21 Big Ten) also work.

athlete_detail

(Logical): when TRUE, dereference each quarterback and append the ⁠athlete_*⁠ name columns (see Details). This costs one HTTP call per quarterback, so it defaults to FALSE; setting it FALSE reproduces the prior output exactly.

Details

Wraps the ESPN core-v2 QBR endpoint seasons/{year}/types/2/groups/{group}/qbr/0. It returns season-to-date regular-season QBR for every qualified passer in the requested group (conference / division). group = 80 is the all-FBS bucket and is the sensible default; conference group ids (e.g. 4 ACC, 8 Big 12, 12 SEC, 21 Big Ten) also work.

Two parameters ESPN's QBR path technically accepts are deliberately not exposed, because neither carries data for college football:

The result is wide – one row per quarterback – with the headline qbr column plus the 18 component metrics ESPN derives it from. Players are returned as ESPN athlete ids only (athlete_id) unless name resolution is requested.

When athlete_detail = TRUE the human-readable name columns athlete_display_name, athlete_first_name, athlete_last_name, athlete_jersey, athlete_position, and athlete_position_abbreviation are appended. There is no bulk athlete-name catalog, so resolving names here costs one HTTP call per quarterback – roughly 130 extra requests for an all-FBS pull. It therefore defaults to FALSE. A per-athlete fetch failure leaves that quarterback's name columns NA rather than erroring the wrapper. To resolve names without these extra calls, join athlete_id to another athlete source (e.g. cfbd_team_roster()).

Value

A data frame with one row per quarterback:

col_name types description
season integer Season (4-digit year).
season_type integer ESPN season type (2 = regular season).
group_id character ESPN group id queried (80 = all FBS).

ESPN College Football Recruits

Description

Get the ESPN recruiting-class catalog for a college football signing class – one row per recruit, with athlete identity, position, physical measurements, ESPN grade, the overall / position / state / region rankings, the committed school, and the recruit's hometown and high school.

Usage

espn_cfb_recruits(year = NULL, max_results = 100)

Arguments

year

(Integer required): Recruiting class / signing year, 4 digit format (YYYY).
Minimum value accepted: 2006

max_results

(Integer default 100): Maximum number of recruits to dereference and return. The index is alphabetical, so this returns the alphabetically-first max_results recruits; raise it to pull more of the class.

Details

Wraps the ESPN core-v2 endpoint sports.core.api.espn.com/v2/sports/football/leagues/college-football/seasons/{year}/recruits. The season index is ⁠$ref⁠-paginated and large (roughly 3,700-4,900 recruits per class), so dereferencing every recruit would be thousands of HTTP calls. ESPN exposes no pre-expanded recruiting endpoint – the site.web.api.espn.com recruiting paths all 404 – so this wrapper caps the walk at max_results recruits (default 100). Raise max_results (e.g. to several hundred or higher) to pull more of the class, at the cost of one extra HTTP call per recruit.

The index is returned by ESPN in athlete-name (alphabetical) order, not ranking order, and the sort query parameter is ignored upstream. The default max_results = 100 therefore returns the alphabetically-first 100 recruits, not the top-100 ranked recruits. To rank the class, pull a larger slice and sort the result on overall_rank (lower is better); note ESPN only publishes an overall_rank for the highly-rated portion of each class, so most recruits carry NA there. position_rank, state_rank, and region_rank are populated more widely. grade is ESPN's 0-100 recruit grade (0 / gradeDisplayValue = "NR" means not rated).

committed_team_id / committed_team_ref are resolved from the recruit's schools array by matching a school whose commitment status equals the recruit's top-level status (e.g. Signed); recruits still uncommitted at fetch time leave both columns NA.

Value

A data frame with one row per recruit:

col_name types description
recruit_id character ESPN recruit id.
recruiting_class integer Recruiting class / signing year.
athlete_id character ESPN athlete id.
alternate_athlete_id character ESPN alternate athlete id (recruiting feed id).
first_name character Recruit first name.
last_name character Recruit last name.
full_name character Recruit full name.
display_name character Recruit display name.
short_name character Recruit short name.
position_id character ESPN position id.
position_abbreviation character Position abbreviation (e.g. OT, WR).
weight numeric Listed weight (lbs).
height numeric Listed height (inches).
grade numeric ESPN recruit grade (0-100; 0 = not rated).
grade_display_value character Display-formatted grade (NR when not rated).
overall_rank integer Overall recruit ranking (top recruits only; may be NA).
position_rank integer Position ranking.
state_rank integer State ranking.
region_rank integer Region ranking.
status_id character ESPN commitment status id.
status character Commitment status description (e.g. Signed).
committed_team_id character ESPN team id of the committed school (may be NA).
hometown_city character Recruit hometown city.
hometown_state character Recruit hometown state.
hometown_state_abbreviation character Recruit hometown state abbreviation.
high_school_id character ESPN high-school id.

ESPN College Football Seasons Index

Description

Get the index of every college football season ESPN tracks in its core-v2 API, with each season's start and end dates.

Usage

espn_cfb_seasons()

Details

Wraps the ESPN core-v2 endpoint sports.core.api.espn.com/v2/sports/football/leagues/college-football/seasons. The index is ⁠$ref⁠-paginated; this wrapper walks every page, dereferences each season ⁠$ref⁠, and returns one row per season. ESPN's CFB season coverage runs back to the early 1900s, so the table is long – filter on season for the years you need. Use espn_cfb_season_info() for the full per-season detail (season types, rankings, awards, futures refs).

Value

A data frame with one row per season:

col_name types description
season integer Season (4-digit year).
display_name character ESPN display name for the season.
start_date character Season start timestamp (ISO 8601, UTC).
end_date character Season end timestamp (ISO 8601, UTC).
season_ref character ⁠$ref⁠ URL to the season resource.

ESPN College Football Standings (Long Format)

Description

Get ESPN's standings for a college football group – the full set of record splits (overall, home, away, conference, ...) and every standings statistic (wins, losses, point differential, streak, ...) for every team in the group.

Usage

espn_cfb_standings(
  year = NULL,
  group_id = 90,
  season_type = 2,
  team_detail = TRUE
)

Arguments

year

(Integer required): Season, 4 digit format (YYYY).
Minimum value accepted: 2001

group_id

(Integer default 90): ESPN group id. 90 = NCAA Division I (all D-I teams). Conference group ids also work.

season_type

(Integer default 2): ESPN season type id. 2 = regular season.

team_detail

(Logical): when TRUE (default), fetch the ESPN team catalog once and join friendly team fields next to the team_id column (see Details). Set FALSE to skip the catalog fetch and the join.

Details

Wraps the ESPN core-v2 endpoint sports.core.api.espn.com/v2/sports/football/leagues/college-football/seasons/{year}/types/{season_type}/groups/{group_id}/standings. The standings resource nests three levels deep – team -> record split -> statistic – so this wrapper returns long format: one row per (team x record split x statistic). The long shape absorbs ESPN's habit of adding standings stats across seasons. Pivot wider keyed on stat_name (within a record_type) when a wide table is wanted.

group_id = 90 (NCAA Division I) is the sensible default and yields every D-I team in one call. Conference-level group_ids – enumerate them with espn_cfb_groups() – restrict the table to that conference.

When team_detail = TRUE (the default) the ESPN team catalog (espn_cfb_teams()) is fetched once and friendly team fields are joined in next to the team_id column – team_name, team_abbreviation, team_location, team_display_name, team_short_display_name, team_nickname, team_color, team_alternate_color, team_logo_href, and team_logo_dark_href, inserted immediately after team_id. A catalog failure degrades to NA rather than erroring the wrapper. Set team_detail = FALSE to skip the catalog fetch and the join.

Value

A data frame with one row per team-record-statistic:

col_name types description
season integer Season (4-digit year).
season_type integer ESPN season type id queried.
group_id character ESPN group id queried.
team_id character ESPN team id (parsed from team_ref).
team_name character Team nickname; team_detail = TRUE only.
team_abbreviation character Team abbreviation; team_detail = TRUE only.
team_location character Team location / school name; team_detail = TRUE only.
team_display_name character Full team display name; team_detail = TRUE only.

team_alternate_color character Alternate team color; team_detail = TRUE only.
team_logo_href character Default team logo URL; team_detail = TRUE only.
team_logo_dark_href character Dark-variant team logo URL; team_detail = TRUE only.
record_type character Record split type code (e.g. total, homerecord).
record_name character Record split name (e.g. Overall, Home).
record_summary character Record split summary (e.g. 14-0).
stat_name character Standings statistic key (e.g. wins, streak).
abbreviation character Statistic abbreviation.
display_name character Human-readable statistic name.
value numeric Statistic value.
display_value character Display-formatted statistic value.
team_ref character ⁠$ref⁠ URL to the per-season team resource.

Get ESPN college football team stats data

espn_cfb_team_stats(team_id = 52, year = 2020)

Wraps the ESPN core-v2 team-in-season endpoint sports.core.api.espn.com/v2/sports/football/leagues/college-football/seasons/{year}/teams/{team_id}. Unlike the site-v2 team payload, the core-v2 resource is season-scoped, so a team's conference grouping is resolved for the requested year. The result is a single-row data frame. Team ids are ESPN team identifiers – enumerate them with espn_cfb_teams().

When team_detail = TRUE (the default) the ESPN team catalog (espn_cfb_teams()) is fetched once and friendly team fields are joined in next to the team_id column – team_name, team_abbreviation, team_location, team_display_name, team_short_display_name, team_nickname, team_color, team_alternate_color, team_logo_href, and team_logo_dark_href, inserted immediately after team_id. A catalog failure degrades to NA rather than erroring the wrapper. Set team_detail = FALSE to skip the catalog fetch and the join.

Usage

espn_cfb_team_ats(
  team_id = NULL,
  year = NULL,
  season_type = 2,
  team_detail = TRUE

Details

Wraps the ESPN core-v2 team ATS endpoint sports.core.api.espn.com/v2/sports/football/leagues/college-football/seasons/{year}/types/{season_type}/teams/{team_id}/ats. ESPN returns one item per ATS split, each carrying a wins/losses/ pushes triple and a type block (id, name, description). This wrapper returns one row per split. The ATS records are populated only for completed games, so an in-progress or future season may return an empty frame.

A data frame with one row per ATS split:

col_name types description
season integer Season (4-digit year).
season_type integer ESPN season type (2 = regular, 3 = postseason).

Usage

espn_cfb_team_awards(team_id = NULL, year = NULL, team_detail = TRUE)

Arguments

team_id

(Integer required): ESPN team id.

year

(Integer required): Season, 4 digit format (YYYY).
Minimum value accepted: 1935

team_detail

(Logical): when TRUE (default), fetch the ESPN team catalog once and join friendly team fields next to every team-id column (team_id, winner_team_id) in the output (see Details). Set FALSE to skip the catalog fetch and the join.

Details

Wraps the ESPN core-v2 team awards endpoint sports.core.api.espn.com/v2/sports/football/leagues/college-football/seasons/{year}/teams/{team_id}/awards. The index endpoint returns a ⁠$ref⁠ list of award resources; this wrapper dereferences each one and returns a row per winning athlete for the award. Athletes are returned as ESPN athlete ids (parsed from athlete_ref); join to another athlete source for names. Most teams have only one or two award items in a season.

When team_detail = TRUE (the default) the ESPN team catalog (espn_cfb_teams()) is fetched once and friendly team fields are joined onto every team-id column the output carries – team_id and winner_team_id. For each id column X_id the friendly siblings X_name, X_abbreviation, X_location, X_display_name, X_short_display_name, X_nickname, X_color, X_alternate_color, X_logo_href, and X_logo_dark_href are inserted immediately after it. A catalog failure degrades to NA rather than erroring the wrapper. Set team_detail = FALSE to skip the catalog fetch and the join.

Value

A data frame with one row per award-winner:

ESPN College Football Team Season Event Log

Description

Get a college football team's full season event log – every game (regular season and postseason) ESPN lists for the team-season.

Usage

espn_cfb_team_events(team_id = NULL, year = NULL, team_detail = TRUE)

Arguments

team_id

(Integer required): ESPN team id.

year

(Integer required): Season, 4 digit format (YYYY).
Minimum value accepted: 1999

team_detail

(Logical): when TRUE (default), fetch the ESPN team catalog once and join friendly team fields next to the team_id column (see Details). Set FALSE to skip the catalog fetch and the join.

Details

Wraps the ESPN core-v2 team events endpoint sports.core.api.espn.com/v2/sports/football/leagues/college-football/seasons/{year}/teams/{team_id}/events. ESPN returns a ⁠$ref⁠ list – one reference per game – in core-v2's id space, complementing the site-v2 espn_cfb_team_schedule(). This wrapper returns one row per game with game_id parsed from each ⁠$ref⁠; it does not dereference each game (feed the game_id values to espn_cfb_game_teams(), espn_cfb_game_pbp(), or the other ⁠espn_cfb_game_*()⁠ wrappers for hydrated game detail). The event_order column preserves the order ESPN returns the games.

When team_detail = TRUE (the default) the ESPN team catalog (espn_cfb_teams()) is fetched once and friendly team fields are joined in next to the team_id column – team_name, team_abbreviation, team_location, team_display_name, team_short_display_name, team_nickname, team_color, team_alternate_color, team_logo_href, and team_logo_dark_href, inserted immediately after team_id. A catalog failure degrades to NA rather than erroring the wrapper. Set team_detail = FALSE to skip the catalog fetch and the join.

Value

A data frame with one row per game:

col_name types description
season integer Season (4-digit year).
team_id character ESPN team id.
team_name character Team nickname; team_detail = TRUE only.
team_abbreviation character Team abbreviation; team_detail = TRUE only.
team_location character Team location / school name; team_detail = TRUE only.
team_display_name character Full team display name; team_detail = TRUE only.

team_nickname character Team nickname label; team_detail = TRUE only.
team_color character Primary team color; team_detail = TRUE only.
team_alternate_color character Alternate team color; team_detail = TRUE only.
team_logo_href character Default team logo URL; team_detail = TRUE only.
team_logo_dark_href character Dark-variant team logo URL; team_detail = TRUE only.
event_order integer Order of the game within the team's season event log.
game_id character ESPN game (event) id, parsed from event_ref.
event_ref character ⁠$ref⁠ URL to the core-v2 event resource.

ESPN College Football Team Statistical Leaders

Description

Get a college football team's season statistical leaders – the top athletes in each ESPN leader category (passing, rushing, receiving, tackles, ...).

Usage

espn_cfb_team_leaders(
  team_id = NULL,
  year = NULL,
  season_type = 2,
  team_detail = TRUE
)

Arguments

team_id

(Integer required): ESPN team id.

year

(Integer required): Season, 4 digit format (YYYY).
Minimum value accepted: 2004

season_type

(Integer default 2): ESPN season type. 2 = regular season, 3 = postseason.

team_detail

(Logical): when TRUE (default), fetch the ESPN team catalog once and join friendly team fields next to the team_id column (see Details). Set FALSE to skip the catalog fetch and the join.

Details

Wraps the ESPN core-v2 team leaders endpoint sports.core.api.espn.com/v2/sports/football/leagues/college-football/seasons/{year}/types/{season_type}/teams/{team_id}/leaders. ESPN groups leaders into categories and ranks several athletes within each. This wrapper flattens that to long format: one row per (category x ranked athlete), with leader_rank preserving the order ESPN returns. Athletes are returned as ESPN athlete ids; join to espn_cfb_team_roster() for names.

When team_detail = TRUE (the default) the ESPN team catalog (espn_cfb_teams()) is fetched once and friendly team fields are joined in next to the team_id column – team_name, team_abbreviation, team_location, team_display_name, team_short_display_name, team_nickname, team_color, team_alternate_color, team_logo_href, and team_logo_dark_href, inserted immediately after team_id. A catalog failure degrades to NA rather than erroring the wrapper. Set team_detail = FALSE to skip the catalog fetch and the join.

ESPN College Football Single-Team Power Index (Long Format)

Description

Get ESPN's College Football Power Index (FPI) detail for a single team-season – the full set of predictive metrics and efficiency components ESPN attaches to one team.

Usage

espn_cfb_team_powerindex(team_id = NULL, year = NULL, team_detail = TRUE)

Arguments

team_id

(Integer required): ESPN team id.

year

(Integer required): Season, 4 digit format (YYYY).
Minimum value accepted: 2005

team_detail

(Logical): when TRUE (default), fetch the ESPN team catalog once and join friendly team fields next to the team_id column (see Details). Set FALSE to skip the catalog fetch and the join.

Details

Wraps the ESPN core-v2 single-team power-index endpoint sports.core.api.espn.com/v2/sports/football/leagues/college-football/seasons/{year}/powerindex/{team_id}. Where espn_cfb_powerindex() returns the league-wide index, this wrapper drills into one team and returns one row per metric in long format: every predictive metric (FPI, projected wins, strength of record, ...) and every efficiency component (offensive, defensive, special-teams efficiency, ...). The long shape is deliberate – ESPN adds and retires metrics across seasons, and a long frame absorbs that drift. Pivot wider with tidyr::pivot_wider() keyed on stat_name for a wide table.

When team_detail = TRUE (the default) the ESPN team catalog (espn_cfb_teams()) is fetched once and friendly team fields are joined in next to the team_id column – team_name, team_abbreviation, team_location, team_display_name, team_short_display_name, team_nickname, team_color, team_alternate_color, team_logo_href, and team_logo_dark_href, inserted immediately after team_id. A catalog failure degrades to NA rather than erroring the wrapper. Set team_detail = FALSE to skip the catalog fetch and the join.

Value

A data frame with one row per metric:

col_name types description
season integer Season (4-digit year).
team_id character ESPN team id.
team_name character Team nickname; team_detail = TRUE only.
team_abbreviation character Team abbreviation; team_detail = TRUE only.
team_location character Team location / school name; team_detail = TRUE only.
team_display_name character Full team display name; team_detail = TRUE only.
team_short_display_name character Short team display name; team_detail = TRUE only.

team_logo_href character Default team logo URL; team_detail = TRUE only.
team_logo_dark_href character Dark-variant team logo URL; team_detail = TRUE only.
team_ref character ⁠$ref⁠ URL to the team-in-season resource.
last_updated character Timestamp ESPN last refreshed the power index.
metric_group character predictive or efficiency.
stat_name character Internal metric key (e.g. fpi, offefficiency).
abbreviation character Metric abbreviation.
display_name character Human-readable metric name.
value numeric Metric value.
display_value character Display-formatted metric value as shown on ESPN.
description character ESPN's description of the metric.

(Integer required): Season, 4 digit format (YYYY).
Minimum value accepted: 2000

week

(Integer optional): Regular-season week. When supplied, the team's rank at that specific week is returned.

team_detail

(Logical): when TRUE (default), fetch the ESPN team catalog once and join friendly team fields next to the team_id column (see Details). Set FALSE to skip the catalog fetch and the join.

Details

Wraps the ESPN core-v2 team ranks endpoint sports.core.api.espn.com/v2/sports/football/leagues/college-football/seasons/{year}/teams/{team_id}/ranks. When a week is supplied the week-resolved variant is used instead: sports.core.api.espn.com/v2/sports/football/leagues/college-football/seasons/{year}/types/2/weeks/{week}/teams/{team_id}/ranks. The index endpoint returns a ⁠$ref⁠ list of poll-rank resources; this wrapper dereferences each one and returns a single row per poll with the rank detail flattened. Without a week, ESPN returns the season's final poll positions (one row per poll, plus postseason polls).

When team_detail = TRUE (the default) the ESPN team catalog (espn_cfb_teams()) is fetched once and friendly team fields are joined in next to the team_id column – team_name, team_abbreviation, team_location, team_display_name, team_short_display_name, team_nickname, team_color, team_alternate_color, team_logo_href, and team_logo_dark_href, inserted immediately after team_id. A catalog failure degrades to NA rather than erroring the wrapper. Set team_detail = FALSE to skip the catalog fetch and the join.

Value

A data frame with one row per poll-rank:

col_name types description
season integer Season (4-digit year).
team_id character ESPN team id.
team_name character Team nickname; team_detail = TRUE only.
team_abbreviation character Team abbreviation; team_detail = TRUE only.

ESPN College Football Team Record (Long Format)

Description

Get a college football team's season records – overall, home, away, and conference splits – with the full set of summary stats ESPN attaches to each.

Usage

espn_cfb_team_record(
  team_id = NULL,
  year = NULL,
  season_type = 2,
  team_detail = TRUE
)

Arguments

team_id

(Integer required): ESPN team id.

year

(Integer required): Season, 4 digit format (YYYY).
Minimum value accepted: 2000

season_type

(Integer default 2): ESPN season type. 2 = regular season, 3 = postseason.

team_detail

(Logical): when TRUE (default), fetch the ESPN team catalog once and join friendly team fields next to the team_id column (see Details). Set FALSE to skip the catalog fetch and the join.

Details

Wraps the ESPN core-v2 team record endpoint sports.core.api.espn.com/v2/sports/football/leagues/college-football/seasons/{year}/types/{season_type}/teams/{team_id}/record. ESPN returns several record items per team (overall, home record, away record, vs. conference), each carrying ~20 summary stats. This wrapper flattens that to long format: one row per (record-item x stat). The long shape absorbs ESPN adding or retiring stat keys across seasons. Pivot wider with tidyr::pivot_wider() keyed on stat_name for a wide table.

When team_detail = TRUE (the default) the ESPN team catalog (espn_cfb_teams()) is fetched once and friendly team fields are joined in next to the team_id column – team_name, team_abbreviation, team_location, team_display_name, team_short_display_name, team_nickname, team_color, team_alternate_color, team_logo_href, and team_logo_dark_href, inserted immediately after team_id. A catalog failure degrades to NA rather than erroring the wrapper. Set team_detail = FALSE to skip the catalog fetch and the join.

Value

A data frame with one row per record-stat:

col_name types description
season integer Season (4-digit year).
season_type integer ESPN season type (2 = regular, 3 = postseason).
team_id character ESPN team id.
team_name character Team nickname; team_detail = TRUE only.
team_abbreviation character Team abbreviation; team_detail = TRUE only.
team_location character Team location / school name; team_detail = TRUE only.

record_type character Record type code (e.g. total, homerecord).
record_name character Record display name (e.g. overall, Home).
record_summary character Win-loss summary string (e.g. 13-1).
stat_name character Stat key (e.g. wins, avgPointsFor).

ESPN College Football Team Roster (Season-Scoped)

Description

Get the season roster for a single college football team – one row per athlete with biographical detail, position, jersey number, and class/experience.

Usage

espn_cfb_team_roster(
  team_id = NULL,
  year = NULL,
  position_detail = TRUE,
  team_detail = TRUE
)

Arguments

team_id

(Integer required): ESPN team id.

year

(Integer required): Season, 4 digit format (YYYY).
Minimum value accepted: 2004

position_detail

(Logical): when TRUE (default), fetch the ESPN position catalog once and join it onto position_id, appending the five ⁠position_*⁠ detail columns shown in the Value table. A catalog failure degrades to NA rather than erroring the wrapper. Set FALSE to skip the extra fetch and the join.

team_detail

(Logical): when TRUE (default), fetch the ESPN team catalog once and join friendly team fields next to the team_id column (see Details). Set FALSE to skip the catalog fetch and the join.

Details

Wraps the ESPN core-v2 season athlete index sports.core.api.espn.com/v2/sports/football/leagues/college-football/seasons/{year}/teams/{team_id}/athletes. The index returns one ⁠$ref⁠ per athlete; this wrapper dereferences each athlete resource and flattens it into a row. The site-v2 roster endpoint is deliberately not used: it returns only the team's current roster and silently ignores a season query parameter, so it cannot deliver historical rosters. The core-v2 path used here is genuinely season-scoped.

Because each athlete is dereferenced individually, a full roster is roughly 150-220 HTTP requests; allow a few seconds per call.

When team_detail = TRUE (the default) the ESPN team catalog (espn_cfb_teams()) is fetched once and friendly team fields are joined in next to the team_id column – team_name, team_abbreviation, team_location, team_display_name, team_short_display_name, team_nickname, team_color, team_alternate_color, team_logo_href, and team_logo_dark_href, inserted immediately after team_id. A catalog failure degrades to NA rather than erroring the wrapper. Set team_detail = FALSE to skip the catalog fetch and the join.

When position_detail = TRUE (the default) the ESPN position catalog (espn_cfb_positions()) is fetched once and joined onto the position_id column, appending the five ⁠position_*⁠ detail columns (position_name, position_display_name, position_abbreviation, position_leaf, position_parent_id). A catalog failure degrades to NA rather than erroring the wrapper. Set position_detail = FALSE to skip the extra fetch and the join.

Value

A data frame with one row per athlete:

col_name types description
season integer Season (4-digit year).
team_id character ESPN team id.
team_name character Team nickname; team_detail = TRUE only.
team_abbreviation character Team abbreviation; team_detail = TRUE only.
team_location character Team location / school name; team_detail = TRUE only.

team_short_display_name character Short team display name; team_detail = TRUE only.

ESPN College Football Team Schedule

Description

Get a single college football team's full-season schedule – one row per game with opponent, venue, broadcast, score, and result.

Usage

espn_cfb_team_schedule(team_id = NULL, year = NULL, team_detail = TRUE)

Arguments

team_id

(Integer required): ESPN team id.

year

(Integer required): Season, 4 digit format (YYYY).
Minimum value accepted: 1999

team_detail

(Logical): when TRUE (default), fetch the ESPN team catalog once and join friendly team fields next to every team-id column (team_id, opponent_id) in the output (see Details). Set FALSE to skip the catalog fetch and the join.

Details

Wraps the ESPN site-v2 team schedule endpoint site.api.espn.com/apis/site/v2/sports/football/college-football/teams/{team_id}/schedule. Each row is one scheduled game from the requested team's perspective: the ⁠opponent_*⁠ columns describe the other team, and team_score / opponent_score / team_winner describe the outcome (scores are NA for games that have not been played). Team ids are ESPN team identifiers – enumerate them with espn_cfb_teams().

When team_detail = TRUE (the default) the ESPN team catalog (espn_cfb_teams()) is fetched once and friendly team fields are joined onto every team-id column the output carries – team_id and opponent_id. For each id column X_id the friendly siblings X_name, X_abbreviation, X_location, X_display_name, X_short_display_name, X_nickname, X_color, X_alternate_color, X_logo_href, and X_logo_dark_href are inserted immediately after it. A catalog failure degrades to NA rather than erroring the wrapper. Set team_detail = FALSE to skip the catalog fetch and the join.

ESPN College Football Teams Index

Description

Get the full ESPN directory of college football teams – one row per team with identifiers, branding, conference grouping, and logo URLs.

Usage

espn_cfb_teams()

Details

Wraps the ESPN site-v2 expanded teams endpoint site.api.espn.com/apis/site/v2/sports/football/college-football/teams. The expanded endpoint returns every team fully inlined in a single call (no ⁠$ref⁠ dereferencing), so one request produces the whole directory. The team_id column is the ESPN team identifier used as the team_id argument to the other ⁠espn_cfb_team_*()⁠ wrappers.

Value

A data frame with one row per team:

col_name types description
team_id character ESPN team id.
uid character ESPN global unique identifier.
slug character URL slug for the team.
abbreviation character Team abbreviation.
display_name character Full team display name.
short_display_name character Short team display name.
name character Team nickname (e.g. Bulldogs).
nickname character Team nickname / location label.
location character Team location / school name.
color character Primary team color (hex, no ⁠#⁠).
alternate_color character Alternate team color (hex, no ⁠#⁠).
is_active logical Whether the team is currently active.
is_all_star logical Whether the team is an all-star team.
logo_href character URL of the default team logo.
logo_dark_href character URL of the dark-variant team logo.

Unnest ESPN CFB drive plays into a flat play-by-play table

Description

Turn a espn_cfb_game_drives() result carrying a plays list-column (produced with plays = "list") into the flat one-row-per-play table – every play in the full espn_cfb_game_pbp() schema with its drive-level columns carried alongside, prefixed drive_.

Usage

espn_cfb_unnest_plays(drives)

Arguments

drives

(data.frame required): a data frame produced by espn_cfb_game_drives(..., plays = "list") – i.e. carrying a plays list-column of full-schema play tibbles.

Details

Pure transform – no HTTP. espn_cfb_unnest_plays() unnests the plays list-column appended by espn_cfb_game_drives(..., plays = "list") and carries every drive-level column alongside each play, prefixed drive_ (e.g. drive_id, drive_result, drive_yards, drive_start_yard_line) so it never collides with the play's own columns. The result is identical in shape to espn_cfb_game_drives(..., plays = "expand") – the same flat table, one route via the plays argument, the other via this auxiliary function.

If drives does not carry a plays list-column the function aborts with a message telling the caller to run espn_cfb_game_drives(..., plays = "list") first.

Value

A data frame with one row per play:

col_name types description
drive_game_id character ESPN game identifier (drive-level column, drive_-prefixed).
drive_id character ESPN drive id the play belongs to (drive_-prefixed).
drive_result character Drive result code (drive_-prefixed; every drive-level column is carried with this prefix).
game_id character ESPN game identifier (play-level column).
play_id character ESPN play id.
... Every remaining espn_cfb_game_pbp() play column, plus any optional participant columns present in the embedded tibbles.

Details

Wraps the ESPN core-v2 endpoint sports.core.api.espn.com/v2/sports/football/leagues/college-football/venues/{venue_id}. espn_cfb_venues() returns the venue index; this wrapper returns the single-venue detail for one id. Returns a single-row tibble. Enumerate venue_ids with espn_cfb_venues().

Value

col_name types description
venue_id character ESPN venue id.

ESPN College Football Venues Index

Description

Get the catalog of stadiums and venues ESPN tracks for college football, with location, capacity-related flags, and addresses.

Usage

espn_cfb_venues(max_results = 200)

Arguments

max_results

(Integer default 200): Maximum number of venues to dereference and return.

Details

Wraps the ESPN core-v2 endpoint sports.core.api.espn.com/v2/sports/football/leagues/college-football/venues. The index is ⁠$ref⁠-paginated and large (~911 venues). Dereferencing every venue is hundreds of HTTP calls, so this wrapper caps the walk at max_results venues (default 200) – raise it to pull more, or set it high enough to harvest the whole catalog in one (slow) call. Pages are walked in id order, so the same max_results always returns the same prefix of the catalog.

Value

A data frame with one row per venue:

col_name types description
venue_id character ESPN venue id.
full_name character Venue full name (e.g. ⁠Tenney Stadium⁠).
city character Venue city.
state character Venue state.
zip_code character Venue postal code.
country character Venue country.
grass logical TRUE if the playing surface is grass.
indoor logical TRUE if the venue is indoors.
venue_ref character ⁠$ref⁠ URL to the venue resource.

ESPN College Football Weekly Rankings

Description

Get the ranked teams from every poll ESPN published in a single week of a college football season – the AP Top 25, the Coaches Poll, the CFP committee rankings, and the computer polls, with each team's rank, points, and first-place votes.

Usage

espn_cfb_week_rankings(
  year = NULL,
  week = NULL,
  season_type = 2,
  team_detail = TRUE
)

Arguments

year

(Integer required): Season, 4 digit format (YYYY).
Minimum value accepted: 2002

week

(Integer required): Week number within the season type.

season_type

(Integer default 2): ESPN season type id. 2 = regular season, 3 = postseason.

team_detail

(Logical): when TRUE (default), fetch the ESPN team catalog once and join friendly team fields next to the team_id column (see Details). Set FALSE to skip the catalog fetch and the join.

Details

Wraps the ESPN core-v2 endpoint sports.core.api.espn.com/v2/sports/football/leagues/college-football/seasons/{year}/types/{season_type}/weeks/{week}/rankings. The week index returns one ⁠$ref⁠ per poll; this wrapper dereferences each poll and returns one row per (poll x ranked team). Both the top-25 ranked teams (rank_type = "ranked") and the receiving-votes teams ESPN lists below the cutoff (rank_type = "others") are included.

When team_detail = TRUE (the default) the ESPN team catalog (espn_cfb_teams()) is fetched once and friendly team fields are joined in next to the team_id column – team_name, team_abbreviation, team_location, team_display_name, team_short_display_name, team_nickname, team_color, team_alternate_color, team_logo_href, and team_logo_dark_href, inserted immediately after team_id. A catalog failure degrades to NA rather than erroring the wrapper. Set team_detail = FALSE to skip the catalog fetch and the join; teams are then returned as ESPN team ids only.

Value

A data frame with one row per poll-team:

col_name types description
season integer Season (4-digit year).
season_type integer ESPN season type id queried.
week integer Week number queried.
ranking_id character ESPN poll id.
ranking_name character Poll name (e.g. ⁠AP Top 25⁠).

current_rank integer Current rank (0 for receiving-votes teams).
previous_rank integer Rank in the previous poll (0 if unranked).
points numeric Poll points awarded to the team.
first_place_votes integer Number of first-place votes received.
trend character Movement vs the previous poll (e.g. -, +3).
record_summary character Team record at the time of the poll (e.g. 7-1).
team_id character ESPN team id (parsed from team_ref).
team_name character Team nickname; team_detail = TRUE only.
team_abbreviation character Team abbreviation; team_detail = TRUE only.

  ...,
  dbConnection = NULL,
  tablename = NULL
)

Arguments

tablename

The name of the data table within the database

Value

Returns a cfbfastR_data tibble.

col_name types description
season integer
season_type integer
week integer
team_id integer
last_updated character
run_date_time_key integer ESPN's run key for the snapshot, as an integer timestamp (e.g. 20241021040000). This is the AS-OF date the snapshot represents, which is not the same as last_updated (when ESPN computed it); the gap between the two is what snapshot_is_contemporaneous flags.
snapshot_out_of_sequence logical True when this snapshot was computed AFTER one belonging to a later week of the same season type -- so it cannot be read as an as-of-that-week rating. Almost always the week-1 slot, which ESPN overwrites with a late-season computation (2024 week 1 is stamped 2024-12-15). Filter these out for any point-in-time or backtest use.
fpi double Football Power Index that measures team's true strength on net points scale; expected point margin vs average opponent on neutral field.
fpirank double ESPN's FPI rank field. Agrees with rank on 99.4% of rows; on the ~0.6% where they differ it is stale -- it never matches the rank implied by the published fpi, while rank always does. Prefer rank.
projectedw double Projected overall W-L, accounting for results to date and FPI-based projections for remaining scheduled games (and potential conference championship games). May not sum to a whole number because of differing number of games played in each simulation.
projectedl double Projected overall Losses, accounting for results to date and FPI-based projections for remaining scheduled games (including potential conference championship games). May not sum to a whole number because of differing number of games played in each simulation.
projectedt character Projected ties. Always null -- college football abolished ties in 1996, and ESPN emits the key beside projectedw/projectedl without ever populating it. Retained so the column set matches the upstream payload.
projectedwpctrank double Rank among FBS teams by projected win percentage. ESPN publishes the rank without the underlying percentage; derive it from projectedw and projectedl.
probwinout double Percent of season simulations in which team won all remaining scheduled games as well as conference championship game (if applicable).
probwinconf double Percent of season simulations in which team won its conference, incorporating chance of getting to and winning conference championship game (if applicable). Accounts for shared conference titles in conferences that allow them.
sosremainingrank double Rank among all FBS teams of remaining schedule strength, from perspective of an average FBS team.
accomplishment double Reflects chance that an average Top 25 team would have team's record or better, given the schedule. On a 0 to 100 scale, where 100 is best.
accomplishmentrank double Strength of Record rank. Reflects chance that an average Top 25 team would have team's record or better, given the schedule.
adjwins double Team's Wins adjusted for chance an average FBS team would have team's record or better, given the schedule.
adjlosses double Team's Losses adjusted for chance an average FBS team would have team's record or better, given the schedule.
adjwinpctrank double Rank among FBS teams by adjusted win percentage. ESPN publishes the rank without the underlying percentage; derive it from adjwins and adjlosses. 0 is an unranked placeholder, not a rank -- it appears where the underlying value is null.
gamecontrol double Reflects chance that an average Top 25 team would control games from start to end the way this team did, given the schedule. On a 0 to 100 scale, where 100 is best.
gamecontrolrank double Game Control rank. Reflects chance that an average Top 25 team would control games from start to end the way this team did, given the schedule.
adjavgingamewp double Team's average in-game win probability adjusted for chance that an average FBS team would control games from start to end the way this team did, given the schedule.
adjavgingamewprank double Rank among FBS teams by adjavgingamewp (average in-game win probability adjusted for opponent). Null for most pre-2019 snapshots. 0 is an unranked placeholder, not a rank.
avgingamewp double Team's average in-game win probability across all plays of all games played, not adjusted for site or opponent.
avgingamewprank double Team's average in-game win probability rank adjusted for chance that an average FBS team would control games from start to end the way this team did, given the schedule.
avgsosrank double Rank among all FBS teams of games already played schedule strength, from perspective of an average Top 25 team.
topsosrank double Rank among all FBS teams of games already played schedule strength, from perspective of an top FBS team.
epaoffense double Offensive component of FPI. Offensive contribution to expected point margin vs average opponent on neutral field.
epadefense double Defensive component of FPI. Defensive contribution to expected point margin vs average opponent on neutral field.
epaspecialteams double Special teams component of FPI. Special teams contribution to expected point margin vs average opponent on neutral field.
probwindiv double Percent of season simulations in which team won its conference division, for those conferences that have divisions.
probmakeplayoffs double Chance to make the CFB Playoff, according to the Playoff Predictor.
probmaketitlegame double Chance to make the CFB Playoff National Championship game, according to the Playoff Predictor.
numwins double Actual wins to date at the time of the snapshot. Distinct from projectedw (full-season projection) and adjwins (opponent-adjusted).
numlosses double Actual losses to date at the time of the snapshot. Distinct from projectedl (full-season projection) and adjlosses (opponent-adjusted).
numties double Actual ties to date. Never nonzero -- college football abolished ties in 1996; the column is null or 0 in every published row.
probwintitle double Chance to win the CFB Playoff National Championship, according to the Playoff Predictor.
rankchange7days double FPI Rank change from previous week.
prob6wins double Percent of season simulations in which a team won at least 6 games (typically bowl-eligible).
rank double FPI rank among FBS teams for this snapshot (1 = best). Prefer this over fpirank: the two agree on 99.4% of rows, and on the ~0.6% where they differ, rank is always the one consistent with the published fpi value.
offefficiency double Offensive efficiency on 0-100 scale; based on offense's contribution to scoring margin on per-play basis, adjusted for strength of opposing defenses faced.
offefficiencyrank double Team's offensive efficiency rank among all FBS teams.
defefficiency double Defensive efficiency on 0-100 scale; based on defense's contribution to scoring margin on per-play basis, adjusted for strength of opposing offenses faced.
defefficiencyrank double Team's defensive efficiency rank among all FBS teams.
stefficiency double Special teams efficiency on 0-100 scale; based on special teams' contribution to scoring margin on per-play basis, adjusted for strength of opposing special teams faced.
stefficiencyrank double Team's special teams efficiency rank among all FBS teams.
totefficiency double Net efficiency on 0-100 scale; incorporates offense, defense and special teams efficiencies into a single schedule-adjusted measure of per-play efficiency.
totefficiencyrank double Team's overall efficiency rank among all FBS teams.
snapshot_is_contemporaneous logical True when the snapshot was computed inside its own season's window (August of the season year through February of the next), i.e. it is a live weekly run rather than a retrospective backfill. False for every row before 2015, which ESPN computed in one pass afterwards. A retrospective row is a reconstruction, not an as-of-week rating.

col_name types description
season integer
team_id integer
adj_off_epa double Opponent-adjusted offensive EPA per play: the team's raw per-game EPA on pass and rush plays net of each opponent's ridge-fitted defensive strength, averaged over its games.
adj_def_epa double Opponent-adjusted EPA per play allowed, netted the same way as the offensive rating, so lower is better because it measures EPA surrendered.
adj_st_epa double Special-teams composite in EPA units: per-play mean EPA on field goals, punts, and kick returns, each centered on that unit's league mean and summed across the three units.
adj_net double adj_off_epa minus adj_def_epa, the team's overall efficiency rating in EPA per play; special teams is deliberately excluded.
fei_off double Drive-level offensive rating from a ridge fit on per-drive EPA, the Fremeau-style drive-efficiency counterpart to adj_off_epa.

fei_net double fei_off minus fei_def, the team's overall drive-efficiency rating, with the ridge's dropped reference team pinned at zero.
games integer
off_pace double Tempo measure: scrimmage plays (pass plus rush) per game, centering near 65 and used as the pace input to the totals model.
off_rank integer Dense rank of adj_off_epa in descending order, so rank 1 is the season's most efficient offense.
def_rank integer Dense rank of adj_def_epa in ascending order, so rank 1 is the season's stingiest defense.
net_rank integer Dense rank of adj_net in descending order, so rank 1 is the season's strongest overall team.
net_z double adj_net restated as a z-score against the mean and standard deviation of adj_net across the rated teams that season.

CFBD API Key Registration

Description

Save your API Key as a system environment variable CFBD_API_KEY

Usage

cfbd_key()

has_cfbd_key()

cfbd_api_key_info()

Details

To get access to an API key, follow the instructions at https://collegefootballdata.com/key

Using the key: You can save the key for consistent usage by adding CFBD_API_KEY=YOUR-API-KEY-HERE to your .Renviron file (easily accessed via usethis::edit_r_environ()). Run usethis::edit_r_environ(), a new script will pop open named .Renviron, THEN paste the following in the new script that pops up (without quotations) 

CFBD_API_KEY = YOUR-API-KEY-HERE

Save the script and restart your RStudio session, by clicking Session (in between Plots and Build) and click ⁠Restart R⁠ (there also exists the shortcut Ctrl + Shift + F10 to restart your session).

If set correctly, from then on you should be able to use any of the cfbd_ functions without any other changes.

For less consistent usage: At the beginning of every session or within an R environment, save your API key as the environment variable CFBD_API_KEY (with quotations) using a command like the following. 

Sys.setenv(CFBD_API_KEY = "YOUR-API-KEY-HERE")

Get information about your API key, including your Patreon level and usage limits.

Value

Returns a data frame with 2 variables:

col_name types description
patron_level integer CFBD Patreon tier associated with the API key (0 = free tier, higher = paid tier).
remaining_calls integer Number of API calls remaining in the current rate-limit window for this key.

Update or create a cfbfastR play-by-play database

Description

update_cfb_db() updates or creates a database with cfbfastR play by play data of all completed games since 2014.

Usage

update_cfb_db(
  dbdir = getOption("cfbfastR.dbdirectory", default = "."),
  dbname = "cfb_pbp_db",
  tblname = "cfbfastR_pbp",
  force_rebuild = FALSE,
  db_connection = NULL
)

Arguments

dbdir

Directory in which the database is or shall be located. Can also be set globally with options(cfbfastR.dbdirectory).

dbname

File name of an existing or desired SQLite database within dbdir

tblname

The name of the play by play data table within the database

force_rebuild

Hybrid parameter (logical or numeric) to rebuild parts of or the complete play by play data table within the database (please see details for further information)

db_connection

A DBIConnection object, as returned by DBI::dbConnect() (please see details for further information)

Details

This function creates and updates a data table with the name tblname within a SQLite database (other drivers via db_connection) located in dbdir and named dbname. The data table combines all play by play data for every available game back to the 2014 season and adds the most recent completed games as soon as they are available for cfbfastR.

The argument force_rebuild is of hybrid type. It can rebuild the play by play data table either for the whole cfbfastR era (with force_rebuild = TRUE) or just for specified seasons (e.g. force_rebuild = c(2019, 2020)). Please note the following behavior:

force_rebuild = TRUE

: The data table with the name tblname will be removed completely and rebuilt from scratch. This is helpful when new columns are added during the Off-Season.

force_rebuild = c(2019, 2020)

: The data table with the name tblname will be preserved and only rows from the 2019 and 2020 seasons will be deleted and re-added. This is intended to be used for ongoing seasons because ESPN's data provider can make changes to the underlying data during the week.

The parameter db_connection is intended for advanced users who want to use other DBI drivers, such as MariaDB, Postgres or odbc. Please note that the arguments dbdir and dbname are dropped in case a db_connection is provided but the argument tblname will still be used to write the data table into the database.

Value

Invisibly returns NULL. The function is called for its side effects.
