ESPN Basketball Endpoint Overview (WNBA + WBB) — espn

Wrappers around ESPN's basketball endpoints. Two parallel families share a common set of internal helpers in R/espn_basketball_*.R:

espn_wnba_*() — ESPN WNBA wrappers
espn_wbb_*() — ESPN women's college basketball wrappers

Each public wrapper is a thin shim over an internal helper that takes a league argument ("wnba" or "womens-college-basketball"); the helper does the actual HTTP call + parsing. Error reporting flows through ESPN-side reporters .report_api_error() / .report_api_warning() in R/utils.R (do not use raw cli::cli_alert_danger() here — that is the WNBA Stats convention).

HTTP layer

ESPN wrappers call .retry_request() directly without ..., so per-call proxy overrides aren't supported. Use options(wehoop.proxy = ...) or the http_proxy / https_proxy env vars for proxy routing.
