EIHL Player Box

Player boxscore of one team in one match, one row per player.

Wraps GET https://s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/eihl.hokejovyzapis.cz/matches/{match_id}/team-stats/{team_id}.json of the EIHL eSports bucket. Example: https://s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/eihl.hokejovyzapis.cz/matches/4440/team-stats/96.json. Seasons are END years (2027 = 2026/27); every request waits at least one second after the last one to the same host.

Usage

eihl_player_box(match_id, team_id, return_parsed = TRUE)

Arguments

match_id

Match id (per-bucket match key space: match_id in eihl_schedule). Not the league website's game id.

team_id

return_parsed

Parse the payload into a tibble (default TRUE); FALSE returns the raw decoded JSON body (a nested list).

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.
