One team's games for one season.

Usage

nl_team_schedule(team_id, season = NULL, return_parsed = TRUE)

Arguments

team_id

SIHF team id (team_id in nl_standings(); the same id as the SIHF family's team_id), e.g. 101144 (EV Zug). A whole number or a digit string.

season

Season END year (2026 is 2025/26), sent to the API unchanged. Changing it changes every list, so it scopes the answer. Lists are served for 2019-2027 (the app's season picker) and patchily before: 2012 and 2017 answered, 2010/2014/2015/2016/2018 answered an empty list (probed 2026-10-12). NULL (the default) leaves the choice to the API.

return_parsed

Logical. TRUE (the default) returns the fastRhockey_data tibble; FALSE returns the raw JSON body as a nested list (api keys already dropped).

Value

A fastRhockey_data tibble (29 columns) with the columns below, or the raw JSON body when return_parsed = FALSE. A valid but empty payload returns a zero-row tibble with these columns.

robots.txt ruling. www.nationalleague.ch/robots.txt disallows /api. The owner approved building on it on 2026-10-12, for polite, incremental use only: requests are spaced at least one second apart (on every attempt, retries included), and a bulk backfill or a published mirror needs the owner's sign-off first. Crawl incrementally: fetch a finished game once (keyed by game_id), find new games with one nl_schedule() call per run, and fetch season tables at most once per game day.

Seasons are END years and go on the wire unchanged. Ids (*_id) are whole-number numeric (a 14-digit game_id exceeds R's 32-bit integer); every other whole-number column is integer. The club backend key the API ships in /teams/{id}/info is dropped before parsing and never returned.

Endpoint: GET https://www.nationalleague.ch/api/games/team/{teamId}.

Errors

Raises a classed condition (all inherit fastRhockey_error): fastRhockey_no_data for a 404 or an empty answer (no games or rows for that season, team or phase), fastRhockey_asset_fetch for a failed fetch, an error object in a 200, a body without the ids it must carry, or an answer for another season, team, game or player, and fastRhockey_bad_request for a 400/422 or an argument that is not a whole number.
