Description

Access College Football Play by Play Data.

A utility to quickly obtain clean and tidy college football data. Serves as a wrapper around the <https://collegefootballdata.com/> API and provides functions to access live play by play and box score data from ESPN <https://www.espn.com> when available. It provides users the capability to access a plethora of endpoints, and supplement that data with additional information (Expected Points Added/Win Probability added).

The goal of cfbfastR is to provide the community with an R package for working with CFB data. It is an R API wrapper around https://collegefootballdata.com/. Beyond data aggregation and tidying ease, one of the multitude of services that cfbfastR provides is for benchmarking open-source expected points and win probability metrics.

College Football Data API Keys

The CollegeFootballData API now requires an API key, here’s a quick run-down:

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 (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.
Sys.setenv(CFBD_API_KEY = "XXXX-YOUR-API-KEY-HERE-XXXXX")
