cfbfastR v2.3.0

This release adds a 65-function ESPN college-football API layer, expanding cfbfastR’s ESPN surface from 8 wrappers to 73. The new wrappers expose ESPN’s core-v2 endpoints in ESPN’s own ID space — complementary to the CollegeFootballData (cfbd_*) wrappers, and the natural join partners for espn_cfb_pbp() / espn_cfb_scoreboard(). Every wrapper was verified live against the 2023, 2024, and 2025 seasons.

Naming alignment with the sportsdataverse convention (this dev cycle, never on CRAN): espn_cfb_player_statistics() is renamed to espn_cfb_player_career_stats() (the core-v2 /athletes/{id}/statistics career view, matching hoopR/wehoop/sportsdataverse-py). New espn_cfb_player_stats_v3() wraps the comprehensive web-common-v3 /athletes/{id}/stats payload (all categories, long format) — the _v3 companion to espn_cfb_player_stats() (core-v2 season statistics).

New Fox Sports API wrappers (fox_cfb_*)

A read-only Fox Sports “Bifrost” college-football layer (api.foxsports.com/bifrost/v1/cfb/*), complementary to the espn_cfb_* and cfbd_* families. Eight wrappers flatten Fox’s layout-oriented JSON (sections → tables → rows → cells) into tidy cfbfastR-tagged tibbles. Reverse-engineering notes and an OpenAPI 3.1 spec live in the sdv-internal-refs repo. Verified live against the 2025 season.

• fox_cfb_pbp() — game play-by-play (quarters → drives → plays), one row per play.
• fox_cfb_boxscore() — per-team player stat tables, tidy long (one row per player-stat).
• fox_cfb_odds() — matchup six-pack (spread / to-win / total) per team.
• fox_cfb_team_roster() — roster by position group, one row per player.
• fox_cfb_team_stats() — team stat leaders by category.
• fox_cfb_team_gamelog() — per-game team stats, tidy long (game × category × stat), each game keyed to its Fox event id.
• fox_cfb_standings() — a team’s conference standings table.
• fox_cfb_league_leaders() — statistical leaderboards by category (stats-con).

New ESPN wrappers — football-specific metrics

• espn_cfb_powerindex() — ESPN’s College Football Power Index (FPI): every predictive metric and efficiency component, in long format.
• espn_cfb_qbr() — Total Quarterback Rating (QBR) and the full set of clutch-weighted EPA components, one row per qualified passer.
• espn_cfb_futures() — the season betting-futures board (national championship, conference, and award markets) with each sportsbook’s American odds.
• espn_cfb_recruits() — ESPN’s recruiting board for a class, one row per recruit with grade, position/state/region rank, committed school, and hometown.

New ESPN wrappers — players

• espn_cfb_players(), espn_cfb_player(), espn_cfb_player_eventlog(), espn_cfb_player_gamelog(), espn_cfb_player_statistics(), espn_cfb_player_splits(), espn_cfb_player_overview(), and espn_cfb_player_seasons() — player index, biographical detail, per-game logs, season statistics, and split breakdowns. The season-level wrappers resolve athlete_id to human-readable name/position columns via an athlete_detail argument.

New ESPN wrappers — teams

• espn_cfb_teams(), espn_cfb_team(), espn_cfb_team_roster(), espn_cfb_team_schedule(), espn_cfb_team_record(), and espn_cfb_team_leaders() — team index, team-in-season detail, roster, schedule, records, and statistical leaders.
• espn_cfb_team_ats(), espn_cfb_team_powerindex(), espn_cfb_team_events(), espn_cfb_team_ranks(), espn_cfb_team_awards(), and espn_cfb_team_coaches() — team against-the-spread records, single-team power index, season event log, poll-rank history, player awards, and coaching staff.

New ESPN wrappers — game detail

• espn_cfb_game_teams(), espn_cfb_game_team_linescores(), espn_cfb_game_team_leaders(), espn_cfb_game_team_roster(), espn_cfb_game_team_statistics(), and espn_cfb_game_team_records() — per-game team breakdowns.
• espn_cfb_game_odds(), espn_cfb_game_broadcasts(), espn_cfb_game_predictor(), espn_cfb_game_probabilities(), espn_cfb_game_powerindex(), and espn_cfb_game_pbp() — per-game odds, broadcasts, pre-game predictor, live win-probability, matchup power index, and play-by-play.
• espn_cfb_game_drives(), espn_cfb_game_drive_plays(), espn_cfb_game_play(), espn_cfb_game_leaders(), espn_cfb_game_situation(), espn_cfb_game_status(), espn_cfb_game_player_statistics(), and espn_cfb_game_player_box() — drive log, drive-scoped plays, single-play detail, game statistical leaders, situation, status, and per-player game box lines.
• The play-level wrappers (espn_cfb_game_pbp(), espn_cfb_game_drive_plays(), espn_cfb_game_play()) extract every field ESPN returns for a play and expose its nested child collections through opt-in parameters: participants ("none"/"wide"/"long") and participants_list surface per-play athlete involvement (passer, rusher, tackler, …), and team_participants / team_participants_list surface the offense/defense team participants — "wide" modes pivot to one row per play, the *_list flags keep the raw detail as a list-column.
• espn_cfb_game_team_records(detail = TRUE) unpacks each record’s full statistic breakdown; espn_cfb_game_odds(line_history = TRUE) returns the open/close/current line-movement history. Roster and player-stats wrappers join ESPN position-catalog detail when position_detail = TRUE.
• espn_cfb_game_drives() gains a plays argument — "list" nests each drive’s plays (full play-by-play schema, with the participant pass-through options) as a list-column, "expand" returns the flat one-row-per-play table with drive_* context columns. The new espn_cfb_unnest_plays() performs the same drives-to-play-by-play transform on an already-fetched nested frame.
• The game wrappers join human-readable team detail when team_detail = TRUE (default): every team-id column (team_id, home_team_id, start_team_id, leader_team_id, …) gains sibling *_name, *_abbreviation, *_location, *_display_name, *_color, *_logo_href, … columns from the ESPN team catalog. espn_cfb_game_teams(format = "wide") collapses the two competitor rows into a single per-game row with home_* / away_* columns for direct joining onto one-row-per-game tables.
• espn_cfb_pbp_v2() — a core-v2-sourced successor to espn_cfb_pbp(): assembles play-by-play in one structured request (vs. the legacy site-v2 summary parse) and, with epa_wpa = TRUE, runs cfbfastR’s full EPA/WPA model pipeline — producing EPA/WPA columns identical to the legacy modeled feed.

New ESPN wrappers — catalogs and season metadata

• espn_cfb_seasons(), espn_cfb_season_info(), espn_cfb_season_types(), espn_cfb_season_weeks(), espn_cfb_groups(), and espn_cfb_standings() — season structure, conferences, and standings.
• espn_cfb_coaches(), espn_cfb_coach(), espn_cfb_venues(), espn_cfb_positions(), espn_cfb_awards(), espn_cfb_rankings(), and espn_cfb_week_rankings() — league catalogs and poll rankings.
• espn_cfb_coach_record(), espn_cfb_franchises(), espn_cfb_franchise(), espn_cfb_venue(), espn_cfb_position(), and espn_cfb_award() — coach season win/loss records, the league franchise catalog, and single-record venue / position / award detail.

New Yahoo Sports wrappers

• Added Yahoo Sports college football wrappers: yahoo_cfb_player_season_stats(), yahoo_cfb_team_season_stats(), yahoo_cfb_player_season_stats_legacy(), yahoo_cfb_team_season_stats_legacy(), yahoo_cfb_scoreboard(), and yahoo_cfb_boxscore() (scaffold), wrapping Yahoo’s shangrila stats graph and editorial feed.

New CollegeFootballData wrappers

• cfbd_betting_ats() — season against-the-spread (ATS) summary records by team, wrapping the CollegeFootballData /teams/ats endpoint.
• cfbd_stats_game_havoc() — per-game havoc statistics (total / front-seven / defensive-back havoc events and rates, offense and defense), wrapping the CollegeFootballData /stats/game/havoc endpoint.
• cfbd_pbp_data_v2() is a new public function: a modular successor to cfbd_pbp_data() that runs the same EPA/WPA pipeline through a single shared engine (.run_epa_wpa()) and a canonical play-type taxonomy (.pbp_play_types()). The legacy cfbd_pbp_data() is unchanged.
• espn_cfb_pbp_v2() now sources play-by-play and meta through the shared engine, requests participants = "wide" and team_participants = "wide" from espn_cfb_game_drives(), and adds the meta columns home_team_name, home_team_color, home_team_alternate_color, home_team_rank (and away_*) via the new .espn_pbp_game_meta() bridge. Output is a strict superset of legacy espn_cfb_pbp() on the meta columns.

Bug fixes

• espn_cfb_pbp() now builds its request URL with the ?event= query separator (previously concatenated as summaryevent=, which returned HTTP 404 for every game) and initializes its return frame before the tryCatch so an upstream failure no longer throws object 'plays_df' not found.
• cfbd_pbp_data_v2() and espn_cfb_pbp_v2() preserve character id_play precision through the EPA/WPA pipeline. The legacy shared helper used unquoted numeric literals in two ifelse calls (a historical id_play swap for one game), which silently coerced character id_play to numeric and then lost precision past 2^53 — breaking the play-id join-back in espn_cfb_pbp_v2(). The modular .pbp_clean_pbp_dat() quotes those literals so id_play stays character; the legacy clean_pbp_dat() is unchanged.

Internal changes

• httr -> httr2 migration. cfbfastR’s HTTP layer now uses the modern httr2 package (>= 1.0.0) instead of the legacy httr. End users running existing wrapper calls (cfbd_*, espn_cfb_*) should see no behavioural change – the migration is internal. Custom code that calls get_req() or check_status() directly must update from httr::content(res, as = "text") to httr2::resp_body_string(res) and from httr::status_code(res) to httr2::resp_status(res).
• Proxy support. get_req() now resolves a proxy in the order: explicit proxy argument -> getOption("cfbfastR.proxy") -> http_proxy / https_proxy env vars. The proxy value accepts either a URL string or a named list with url / port / username / password / auth for authenticated proxies.
• Dependency footprint trimmed. lubridate, progressr, memoise, cachem, and magrittr have moved out of Imports (21 -> 16). lubridate is gone entirely – its two ymd_hm() |> with_tz() calls in espn_cfb_schedule.R are now base-R as.POSIXct(format = "%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M", tz = "UTC") + attr(., "tzone"). progressr, memoise, and cachem moved to Suggests and the helpers degrade gracefully when missing: load_cfb_pbp() / cfbd_pbp_data() / pbp_epa_wpa_engine() run without a progress bar when progressr is absent; ESPN catalog wrappers run uncached when memoise / cachem are absent (espn_cfb_clear_cache() becomes a no-op). Drops the Imports count below the >20 R CMD check NOTE threshold.
• Native pipe migration. All 1,419 %>% chains in R/, plus 137 across vignettes/ and tests/, were converted to the base-R native pipe |>. magrittr is no longer an Imports; downstream consumers that load cfbfastR purely for its functions don’t get %>% re-exported anymore. User-visible impact is minimal – the public API is unchanged and dplyr (which is in Imports) still re-exports %>% for users who want to keep writing it. Two non-mechanical fixes were needed during the sweep: three |> [[("url") chains in cfbd_betting.R and cfbd_coaches.R (rejected as RHS in R 4.1’s |>) became |> purrr::pluck("url"); seven |> tibble::tibble(col = .data$.) constructs were a magrittr quirk that silently duplicated the LHS into both a . and the named column – rewritten to tibble::tibble(col = <lhs>), which drops the redundant . column.
• Test-time CFBD throttle. A new tests/testthat/setup-cfbd-throttle.R adds a 1-second sleep before every CFBD request made by devtools::test() / R CMD check. It works by monkey-patching cfbfastR:::get_req() for the duration of the test session (restored via withr::defer(., teardown_env())) – the package code is unchanged, so interactive and production calls pay no penalty. Tunable via options(cfbfastR.test_request_delay = N) (default 1; set to 0 for unthrottled local runs). Resolves the cascading HTTP 429 skip-if-empty results that were turning otherwise-green test runs into “all green, mostly skipped.” withr joins Suggests to declare the test-side dependency cleanly (it was already a transitive dep of testthat).

cfbfastR v2.2.0

• Fixes a bug in validate_week() utility function where some inputs were not being handled correctly (i.e. week 16). Fixes trickle down to cfbd_pbp_data() and other functions.

cfbfastR v2.0.0

CRAN release: 2025-09-09

Breaking Changes to Loading Functions

• All load_cfb_*() functions now use sportsdataverse-data releases or the CollegeFootballData.com API as their underlying data source to remain in compliance with CFBD API terms and conditions (See Note below).
• Updated load_cfb_pbp() dataset to include various team- and game-level ID’s and flags that were not being included, like home_team_id, away_team_id, season_type, venue_id, some drive_* columns, a half-dozen player stat columns, etc. Essentially, all the leg-work users have undoubtedly had to do while using these datasets is mostly just included now. The downside: this means end users need to check their pipelines which build off these datasets to ensure behavior is as expected and all your joins are doing what is intended.

Function Naming Convention Change

• All functions sourced from the College Football Data API will start with cfbd_ as opposed to cfb_ (as in cfbscrapR). One additional cfbd_ function has been added that corresponds to the result when cfbd_pbp_data() has the parameter epa_wpa=FALSE. It has now been separated into its own function for clarity cfbd_plays(). The parameter and functionality still exists in cfbd_pbp_data() but we expect this function will still exist but made obsolete in favor of a function more closely matching nflfastR’s naming conventions.

• Similarly, data and metrics sourced from ESPN will begin with espn_ as opposed to cfb_. In particular, the two functions are now espn_ratings_fpi() and espn_metrics_wp()

• Data generated from any of the cfbfastR methods will use cfb_

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 via usethis::edit_r_environ()). Run usethis::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.
