Get ESPN WCH Game Scoring Plays (core-v2)

Usage

espn_wch_game_scoringplays(event_id, cid = event_id, limit = 300, ...)

Arguments

event_id

ESPN event (game) identifier.

cid

Competition identifier. Defaults to event_id.

limit

Maximum number of plays to fetch for filtering. Defaults to 300. Only used when the dedicated scoringplays endpoint is unavailable and the function falls back to filtering game_plays().

...

Reserved for forward compatibility.

Value

A fastRhockey_data tibble with one row per scoring play (goal). Implementation note: The dedicated /scoringplays core-v2 endpoint returns 404 for WCH; this function falls back to fetching all plays via espn_wch_game_plays() and filtering to rows where scoring_play == TRUE. Columns are the same as espn_wch_game_plays():
