Each team's top players of one FEB game by points, rebounds, assists and fouls.

Endpoint: GET https://intrafeb.feb.es/LiveStats.API/api/v1/Ranking/{game_id}

One row per team, category and ranked player (rank 1 = the leader, in the order the feed lists them).

Usage

feb_leaders(game_id)

Arguments

game_id

(integer required): FEB game id, e.g. 2535725; the game_id column of feb_schedule(), feb_results() and feb_overview().

Value

A wehoop_data tibble with these columns:

col_nametypedescription
game_idintegerFEB game id (one global sequence): the {gameId} of every LiveStats route and the p= of Partido.aspx. Game bodies do not print it, so it comes from the request.
team_sidecharacterSide of the game the row belongs to: home or away (the feed's TEAM[0] / TEAM[1], or its 1/2 and 0/1 side codes, normalised).
team_idintegerTeam-season id (key space: FEB team registrations; a NEW id every season, e.g. HLA Alicante = 979989 in 2025-26 and 1008687 in 2026-27). Joins the schedule's home_team_id / away_team_id; not a club or player id.
teamcharacterTeam name as registered for the season (sponsor name, uppercase: 'HLA ALICANTE').
categorycharacterLeader category: points, rebounds, assists or fouls (the feed's Puntos, Rebotes, Asistencias, Faltas).
rankintegerPlace in the team's category list, 1 = the leader, in the order the feed lists them.
player_idintegerFEB person id: stable across seasons and clubs (A. Jorda Rodriguez = 1676991 in 2025-26 and 2026-27). Joins the box score, play-by-play, shots and leaders; not the per-season licence_id.
shirt_numbercharacterShirt number (dorsal) as a string, so '00' and '0' stay distinct. The shot feed names the shooter by this number.
playercharacterPlayer name as 'I. SURNAME(S)', uppercase ('V. AGUILAR HERNANDEZ').
starterlogicalTrue when the player was in the starting five (the page's I column), false when on the bench.
captainlogicalTrue for the team captain. Null on 2020-21 games, where the feed does not send it.
valueintegerThe player's count in the row's category (points, rebounds, assists or personal fouls).

Details

The Spanish Basketball Federation (FEB) wrappers cover Primera FEB, Segunda FEB and Liga Femenina Endesa (plus the federation's other groups on the same routes). They mirror sdv-py's sportsdataverse.basketball.feb wrappers of the same names: same arguments, the same snake_case columns and types, one row per sdv-py row.

Legal notice. The FEB's aviso legal (legal notice) asserts intellectual-property rights over the site's content and its databases (the EU database right). It has no explicit scraping clause, and robots.txt answers 404 on both hosts. Fetching for your own use on your own machine is how these wrappers are meant to be used; check the notice before you republish the data.

Unofficial and unsupported. The LiveStats API (intrafeb.feb.es) is the federation's own widget backend, not a documented public API. It needs a bearer token, which is public: it is read from the home page of baloncestoenvivo.feb.es at run time, kept in memory for the R session (24 h validity, renewed once on an HTTP 401) and never printed, logged or written. Requests are spaced at least one second apart per host; 429 and 5xx answers are retried (three attempts).

Coverage. The game routes answer from 2020-21 (Liga Femenina Endesa from its first game; Primera FEB from 2021-03-12, so its earlier 2020-21 games and every earlier season answer 404). 2020-21 play-by-play is text only. The schedule pages go back to 1996-97 (season = 1997).

Seasons are END years (season = 2027 is 2026-27); the site's own t key is the START year, so the request sends t = season - 1.

Errors are classed conditions, never a warning plus an empty frame: wehoop_no_data (HTTP 404, an unknown group, a schedule page with no games, an empty overview window), wehoop_bad_request (HTTP 400 / 422, or a game_id, group or season that is not a non-negative integer) and wehoop_asset_fetch (any other failure: another status, a transport error, a token the API still rejects after one renewal, a non-JSON or non-HTML body, an error or changed envelope, a play-by-play of another game, a page for another group or season, or layout drift). All inherit wehoop_error.
