Load wehoop WNBA Stats Rosters

Source: R/load_wnba_stats.R
load_wnba_stats_rosters.Rd

Loads season-level WNBA team rosters scraped from the WNBA Stats API. One row per athlete-team-season triple. 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_rosters release tag.

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

load_wnba_stats_rosters(
  seasons = most_recent_wnba_stats_season(),

)
