Overview

About

Maintained by Adam Azoulay2 releasesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗

Add game events to a database file to use for statistical analysis of hockey games. This means we only call the 'NHL' API once for each game we want to add. We will have very fast retrieval of data once games have been added since the data is stored locally. We use the API located at https://statsapi.web.nhl.com/api/v1/teams with supplemental data from https://www.nhl.com/scores/. Other endpoints can be found at https://gitlab.com/dword4/nhlapi.

Install

R (source archive)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)openSUSE (OBS)

url <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/nhlscrape/nhlscrape_0.1.3.tar.gz"
pkgFile <- "nhlscrape_0.1.3.tar.gz"
download.file(url, pkgFile)
install.packages(pkgFile, type = "source", repos = NULL)

This package is no longer on CRAN, so install.packages() cannot fetch it by name. This downloads the last archived source (0.1.3) and builds it locally. Install its dependencies first, and note that building from source needs the usual compiler toolchain.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("adamazoulay/nhlscrape")

Development version from adamazoulay/nhlscrape. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-nhlscrape

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-nhlscrape

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed).
