NBL Rosetta Seasons Current

Source: R/nbl_rosetta.R
nbl_rosetta_seasons_current.Rd

The season in progress (empty between seasons: wehoop_no_data).

Endpoint: GET https://prod.rosetta.nbl.com.au/get/{org}/seasons/current

Usage

nbl_rosetta_seasons_current(org = "wnbl")

Arguments

org

(character default "wnbl", the women's WNBL): Organisation: nbl (men's NBL), wnbl (women's) or nbl1 (the second tier, men's and women's conferences). One of "nbl", "wnbl", "nbl1".

Value

A wehoop_data tibble (one row: the season in progress):

col_nametypedescription
orgcharacterOrganisation the row belongs to: nbl, wnbl or nbl1. From the row's competition, else from the request.
season_idcharacterDataCore season id (UUID v1); accepted as {season_id}.
rosetta_season_idcharacterRosetta season id (UUID v4; v5 on NBL1); the {season_id} route key.
namecharacterSeason name as Rosetta spells it (NBL26, WNBL 2024/25); names drift, key on season_year.
season_yearintegerRosetta's year of the season: the START year for the NBL and WNBL from 1998-99 (2025 = 2025-26), the calendar year for NBL1 and the 1979-1997 winter seasons. See season_end_year for the sdv key.
season_typecharacterSeason type: regular (includes finals), preseason, in_season (cups, blitz, exhibition), test.
start_datecharacterFirst day of the season, ISO date-time without offset.
end_datecharacterLast day of the season, ISO date-time without offset; null on older seasons.
competition_namecharacterName of the competition the season belongs to (e.g. NBL).
competition_age_groupcharacterUnobserved in samples (null in every capture); type and meaning unverified.
next_match_start_datetimecharacterTip-off of the season's next match, UTC; null when none.
season_end_yearintegersdv season key: the END year of the season (2026 = 2025-26), derived from season_year (a START year for the NBL and WNBL from 1998-99, a calendar year for NBL1 and the 1979-1997 winter seasons; year 1998 is split on the start date). Where the body carries no year it is the season asked for.

Columns the body adds beyond these follow, in body order (sdv-py keeps them too).

Details

  • Unofficial: the JSON proxy behind nbl.com.au (not an API the NBL documents or supports). The terms of use were not reviewed; payloads are not redistributed as release assets.

  • Gated by a referer, not a key: every request carries Origin / Referer set to nbl.com.au (the runtime sends them); without them the host answers 403 MISSING_API_KEY, which is raised as wehoop_asset_fetch.

  • Fills a hole in ESPN: ESPN's nbl feed has box scores but no plays for the 2025-26 NBL season (the stats provider changed from Genius Sports to Sportradar DataCore that year). nbl_rosetta_match_pbp has the full event log with shot x/y for 2025-26 and, in the same shape, back to 2011-12 (WNBL about 2014-15). Matches from 1979 have box scores only.

  • One host serves three organisations; pass org='nbl' (default), 'wnbl' or 'nbl1'. NBL1 is the second tier (men's and women's conferences, calendar-year seasons).

  • Season = the END year (2026 = 2025-26) everywhere. Rosetta's own year is the START year for the NBL and WNBL from 1998-99 and a calendar year for NBL1 and the 1979-1997 winter seasons; the runtime maps it. Year 1998 holds two seasons (calendar 1998 and 1998-99).

  • Ids: <entity>id columns are DataCore ids (UUID v1; join on them), rosetta<entity>_id Rosetta's own. match_id is the DataCore fixture id every match route is keyed on.

  • Unknown ids, orgs and types answer 200 with no rows (wehoop_no_data). Rosetta caches a body per path and serves it whatever the query string, so a page cut by someone else's limit is refused (wehoop_asset_fetch); retry after the cache entry expires.

Errors: wehoop_no_data when Rosetta answers 404 or no rows (an unknown match, team, player or season id, an org or season type with nothing, or no season in progress); wehoop_asset_fetch for the 403 gate body, a stub or error envelope, a page cut by Rosetta's path cache, a body for another org, season or entity than the one asked for, or any other failed fetch; wehoop_bad_request for an unknown org / season_type, a malformed id, or HTTP 400 / 422.
