Import punting data — import

Easily import punting data for completed seasons. This data has been pre-scraped and compiled here. The only cleaning performed on this data before storing is filter(play_type == 'punt').

import_punts(years, local = FALSE, path = NULL)

Arguments

years: A year or range of years between 1999 and 2020, inclusive
local: Defaults to `FALSE`. If `TRUE`, must also specify the local path to the `puntr-data` folder. Importing a local copy of the data is much faster (~3 seconds, vs ~15 minutes)
path: The local path to the `puntr-data` folder. Required when `local = TRUE`. Omit the trailing `/`, e.g. `/Users/yourname/footballfolder`

Value

A tibble punts containing play-by-play punting data for the specified years

Examples

if (FALSE) {
import_punts(1999:2020)
import_punts(1999:2020, local=TRUE, path='/my/local/path')
}
