ffscrapr 1.1.0

The main goal of ffscrapr 1.1.0 is to add a full set of methods for Sleeper. Also adds two new generics: ff_userleagues() and ff_starters().

New generic functions

Here is a list of new functions available at the top level (ie for all platforms)

  • ff_userleagues() returns a list of user leagues. This is deployed slightly differently for MFL and Sleeper - MFL requires authentication to access user's leagues, while Sleeper doesn't have authentication so you can look up any user you like.
  • ff_starters() returns a list of players started/not-started each week. MFL will return the actual score of each player each week and calculate whether they were optimal, while Sleeper just returns the player themselves.

Sleeper notes

Almost all functions now have Sleeper methods - implemented in what hopes to be relatively familiar manner to MFL. Outlining the specifics of what isn't the same:

  • sleeper_userleagues() is a wrapper on ff_userleagues() that makes it easier to look up user leagues without first creating a connection object.
  • ff_playerscores() is not available for Sleeper because Sleeper removed the player stats endpoint - it will generate a warning (rather than an error). Thinking about creating some functions to calculate scoring based on nflfastr.
  • sleeper_getendpoint() is a little more simple than MFL's equivalent - just pass a string url (minus api.sleeper.app/v1) or pass in chunks of code, the function will automatically paste them together with "/".
  • Added generic and method for ff_userleagues() - Sleeper league IDs are more annoying than MFL to handle, so the more intuitive way is to look up the user's league_ids by username first. MFL does have a parallel feature even if used for different purposes.
  • Added two vignettes, showing "Getting Started" as well as one for custom API calls

MFL changes

  • Added method for ff_userleagues()
  • Added handling for offensive_points and defensive_points in ff_standings() (#69, nice.)
  • Added ff_starters() (1.0.0.9011) as requested by #76 (thanks, Mike!)
  • Added an httr::handle_reset() call to fix login-caching bug.
  • Polished vignettes a little.

Other release tweaks in 1.1.0

  • Now uses {checkmate} for testing.
  • Silently swallowing up unused args in mfl_connect and sleeper_connect.
  • Uses describeIn instead of rdname for method documentation.
  • Wrap all documentation examples in donttest - ratelimiting AND running in under 5 seconds each is pretty challenging!
