KHL Standings

Regular-season standings: one row per team per table (league, conferences, divisions).

Usage

khl_standings(
  season = NULL,
  headers = NULL,
  tournament_id = NULL,
  return_parsed = TRUE
)

Arguments

season

Season by its END year (2026 = 2025-26), mapped to the KHL tournament id (tnId) through the webcaster season table (khl_webcaster_stages). NULL = the site's current season.

headers

Named list of extra request headers, merged over the defaults (X-Requested-With, Origin, Referer). The cookie jar and sessid are kept in-process, so nothing needs reusing across calls.

tournament_id

khl.ru tournament id (tnId), sent as is instead of season / stage (1369 = 2025-26 regular season, 1370 its playoff; the schedule's tournament_id column). The All-Star games have their own.

return_parsed

Logical. TRUE (default) returns the parsed fastRhockey_data tibble; FALSE returns the raw khl.ru envelope as a list (status, data, errors; betting fields removed).

Value

A fastRhockey_data tibble (17 columns; zero rows with the same columns when the payload is empty), or the raw body as a list when return_parsed = FALSE. Raises fastRhockey_no_data (nothing there, or an unknown season / stage), fastRhockey_asset_fetch (an error envelope, an answer for another id than the one asked, or a failed fetch) and fastRhockey_bad_request (an invalid argument or an HTTP 400 / 422).

Details

Endpoint: POST https://www.khl.ru/rest/standings/regular/.

khl.ru REST needs a primed session (a GET of the site root sets the cookie jar and the Bitrix sessid, then each call POSTs a form); this is done for you, one session per host per R session, re-primed when the site rotates its cookie or the sessid expires. No route takes a year: season (the END year, 2026 = 2025/26) and stage are mapped to the tournament id (tnId) through the webcaster season table, or pass tournament_id (the All-Star games have their own tnId).

Ids and counts are integers (sdv-py Int64); a column holding values past 2^31 (epoch milliseconds) is returned as a whole-number double.

At least one second is left between two requests to a host.

Owner flag (sanctions). The KHL and its webcaster platform are run by Russian operators, some clubs by sanctioned state companies. Fetching on your own machine is fine; any published data release, hosted mirror or redistribution needs owner (sanctions / legal) sign-off first.
