nhlscraper is a CRAN-approved R-package for scraping NHL data using the NHL and ESPN APIs. It primarily wraps endpoints documented by Zachary Maludzinski, Drew Hynes, and Joseph Wilson; it also includes newly discovered endpoints by myself. It covers data from high-level multi-season summaries and award winners to low-level play-by-play logs and sports books' odds. Since the NHL API endpoints got reworked in 2023, many of the earlier scrapers became deprecated; this one should be updated for the new endpoints.
Install the official version from CRAN with:
install.packages('nhlscraper')
Install the development version from GitHub with:
install.packages('devtools')
devtools::install_github('RentoSaijo/nhlscraper')
Most, if not, all of these endpoints are unofficially documented (i.e. hidden); therefore, it is all of our responsibility to hit these endpoints with care. For example, endpoints that contain historical data and other mostly static data should only be hit once and stored in a MySQL database for further query. We do not know the exact rate limits for these APIs; don't ruin the fun for all of us!
