- season

- league_id
Competition id. 1 = DEL regular season, 3 = DEL playoffs (also 2 = Test-Liga pre-season, 4 = MagentaSport Cup 2020/21, 5 = NHL Global Series 2022/23).
- return_parsed
Parse the payload into a tibble (default
TRUE);FALSEreturns the raw decoded JSON body (a nested list).
Value
A tibble::tibble() with one row per row of the file (zero rows, carrying the documented columns, for an empty frame); the raw JSON list when return_parsed = FALSE. Columns:
| col_name | type | description |
| player_id | integer | Player id (player key space, per bucket, stable across games and seasons); joins to playerId in rosters, events, boxscores and leaderboards. |
| name | character | Player first name. |
| surname | character | Player last name. |
| team_id | integer | Team id (team key space, per bucket, stable across seasons); joins to league-matches home.id / guest.id and the {team_id} path param. |
| team_name | character | Team display name. |
| team_shortcut | character | Three-letter team code. |
| goals | integer | Goals the player scored in the league-season. |
| assists | integer | Assists credited to the player in the league-season. |
| points | integer | Points, goals + assists. |
| shots | integer | Shots on goal. |
| games | integer | Games played (two names for the same count). |
| penalty_minutes | integer | Penalty minutes assessed to the player in the league-season. |
| time_on_ice | integer | Time on ice, seconds; 0 placeholder in the samples. |
Errors
Signalled as classed conditions: fastRhockey_no_data when the bucket has no such key (S3 404 NoSuchKey: unknown season, competition, match or team) or the file holds no rows (an unplayed game, an empty shot shell); fastRhockey_asset_fetch for any other non-2xx answer (403 AccessDenied), a connection failure after retries, an empty or unreadable 200 body, an error envelope, a body of the wrong shape, or a body for another season or game; fastRhockey_bad_request for an HTTP 400/422 or an invalid argument. All three also inherit fastRhockey_error. Wrappers raise; they never warn and return an empty frame.
