Resolve team identifiers to canonical team ids

Source: R/resolve.R
sdv_resolve.Rd

Turns whatever team identifiers you have (abbreviations, full names, ESPN, nflverse, MLB Stats, nba_api, HockeyTech, CFBD, Sports Reference and other ids) into the index's canonical team_id, never guessing. Every sdvplotR helper that takes a team resolves it this way. The R counterpart of sdvplot's resolve(), and it gives the same answers.

Usage

sdv_resolve(x, league, season = NULL, id_system = "auto", strict = FALSE)

Arguments

x

A vector of team identifiers (character, numeric or factor).

league

A league key from sdv_leagues(). Required: one abbreviation means different teams in different leagues.

season

NULL, one season year, or one per value: picks the team that used a reused code that season. Without one, a reused code means its current holder. Split seasons take their ending year (2021 for 2020-21).

id_system

"auto" (try every id system in priority order) or one id system: "team_id", "espn", "espn_abbr", "nhl", "nflverse", "mlbstats", "nba_api", "hockeytech", "ncaa", "pff", "cricinfo", "cfbd", "bref", "sportsipy", "fangraphs", "sdvplotr", "name", or "nhl_id" (NHL stats API ids, which overlap ESPN's, so "auto" never reads a number as one).

strict

If TRUE, a value that does not resolve is an error; otherwise it becomes NA with one warning per call.

Value

A character vector of team_ids, the length of x.

Examples

sdv_resolve(c("KC", "Kansas City Chiefs", "OAK"), "nfl")
#> [1] "12" "12" "13"
sdv_resolve("QUE", "nhl", season = 1990)
#> [1] "17"
sdv_resolve(c("Iowa St.", "Miami (OH)"), "mbb")
#> [1] "66"  "193"
