Era-correct team identity for a WNBA franchise in a specific season, plus the available $ref URLs for deeper resources (record, statistics, leaders, coaches, transactions, etc.). Backed by the core-v2 endpoint sports.core.api.espn.com/v2/sports/basketball/leagues/wnba/seasons/{season}/teams/{team_id}.

Historical depth goes back to 1997 (WNBA founding). Older seasons return fewer $ref keys; missing refs become NA.

Usage

espn_wnba_team_season_profile(team_id, season = most_recent_wnba_season(), ...)

Arguments

team_id

ESPN team identifier (character or numeric).

season

Season year (numeric). Defaults to the most recent WNBA season.

Additional arguments; currently unused.
