cfbfastR v1.0.0
Function Naming Convention Change
All functions sourced from the College Football Data API will start with
cfbd_
as opposed tocfb_
(as in cfbscrapR). One additionalcfbd_
function has been added that corresponds to the result whencfbd_pbp_data()
has the parameterepa_wpa=FALSE
. It has now been separated into its own function for claritycfbd_plays()
. The parameter and functionality still exists incfbd_pbp_data()
but we expect this function will still exist but made obsolete in favor of a function more closely matchingnflfastR
’s naming conventions.Similarly, data and metrics sourced from ESPN will begin with
espn_
as opposed tocfb_
. In particular, the two functions are nowespn_ratings_fpi()
andespn_metrics_wp()
Data generated from any of the
cfbfastR
methods will usecfb_
College Football Data API Keys
The CollegeFootballData API now requires an API key, here’s a quick run-down:
To get an API key, follow the directions here: College Football Data Key Registration.
Using the key: You can save the key for consistent usage by adding
CFBD_API_KEY=XXXX-YOUR-API-KEY-HERE-XXXXX
to your .Renviron file (easily accessed viausethis::edit_r_environ()
). Runusethis::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 = XXXX-YOUR-API-KEY-HERE-XXXXX
Save the script and restart your RStudio session, by clicking Session
(in between Plots
and Build
) and click Restart R
(n.b. 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.
{r} Sys.setenv(CFBD_API_KEY = "XXXX-YOUR-API-KEY-HERE-XXXXX")
- Added API Key methods. If you forget to set your environment variable, functions will give you a warning and ask for one.
