Load wehoop WNBA Stats Officials

Loads game-level officials data scraped from the WNBA Stats API (boxscoresummaryv2-style outputs). One row per official-game pair. Backed by the wehoop-wnba-stats-data pipeline that reads raw JSONs from wehoop-wnba-stats-raw and publishes parquet/rds artifacts to the wnba_stats_officials release tag.

load_wnba_stats_officials_manifest() returns the per-season manifest CSV (season, row_count, generated_at_utc, source_endpoint) for the WNBA Stats officials release tag without downloading any season's full data.

Usage

load_wnba_stats_officials(
  seasons = most_recent_wnba_stats_season(),
  ...,
  dbConnection = NULL,
  tablename = NULL
)

load_wnba_stats_officials_manifest()

Arguments

seasons

A vector of 4-digit years associated with given WNBA seasons. Published coverage runs 2004 through the most recent season, with no gaps. 2004 is an enforced floor: boxscoresummaryv2 does return an Officials block for a handful of pre-2004 games, but only 1-2 games per season are covered (e.g. 2/158 games in one season), so those fragments are deliberately not published. Pass seasons = TRUE for every published season. (Min: 2004)

...

Additional arguments passed to an underlying function that writes the season data into a database.

dbConnection

A DBIConnection object, as returned by DBI::dbConnect()

tablename

The name of the officials data table within the database

Value

Returns a wehoop_data tibble with one row per official-game pair.

col_name	types	description
official_id	integer	Unique official / referee identifier.
first_name	character	Official's first name.
last_name	character	Official's last name.
jersey_num	character	Jersey number worn by the official.
season	integer	Season identifier (4-digit year).
