One player's game log for one season and league: one row per game with the box-score stats.
Endpoint: GET https://www.aba-liga.com/player/{player_id}/{sez}/{lea}/
sez = season - 2001; league = "aba2" reads https://druga.aba-liga.com with lea = 2.
Arguments
- player_id
Required. ABA player id (global: one person keeps one id across seasons and both leagues), e.g. 4807 (Carlik Jones);
player_idin aba_box_players.- season
Required. Season END year (2026 = 2025-26). the wrapper sends the site's START-year key
sez = season - 2001(25). The ABA League's first season is 2001-02 (season=2002).- league
League:
aba(ABA League, www.aba-liga.com, site code lea=1) oraba2(ABA League 2, druga.aba-liga.com, lea=2). Both sites serve one database; the runtime asks the league's own host. Default"aba".
Value
A hoopR_data tibble.
One row per game the player was listed in, keyed by (player_id, game_no, season, league_id). round_no
is the season-wide round index (regular season 1-18, later phases continue the count) and game the short
Home-Away pairing label. The stat columns are the box-score stats (minutes is mm:ss); the three pts_*
columns are null here (the game log has no such columns).
Every column below is always present (a zero-row tibble keeps them and their types); an answer with nothing in
it raises hoopR_no_data, as in sportsdataverse-py.
| col_name | type | description |
| player_id | integer | ABA player id (global: one person keeps one id across seasons and both leagues, e.g. Carlik Jones = 4807), cast to an integer. Join on it, never on the printed name. |
| season | integer | Season END year (2026 = 2025-26): the site's START-year key sez (25) plus 2001. |
| league_id | integer | League code, the site's lea: 1 = ABA League, 2 = ABA League 2. |
| league | character | League label: aba (ABA League, lea 1) or aba2 (ABA League 2, lea 2), the wrapper's league argument. |
| round_no | integer | Season-wide round index of the game: 1-18 = regular season, later phases continue the count (ABA 2025-26: 'Top8 - R2' = 21, 'Finals, Round 4' = 48). |
| game_no | integer | Game number, per season AND league: it restarts at 1 for every season and league, so a game's key is (game_no, season, league_id). Unplayed playoff games leave gaps. The {gameNo} of the match route. |
| game | character | Short pairing label 'Home-Away' with short club names ('Partizan-Krka', 'C. Zvezda-Partizan'). |
| minutes | character | Minutes played, 'mm:ss' text. |
| points | integer | Points scored (overall Pts). |
| fg_pct | double | Field-goal percentage over 2- and 3-point attempts, 0-100 with one decimal (FG2 + FG3 made / attempted); 0 when no attempt. Header 'overall %'. |
| fg2_made | integer | 2-point field goals made (FG2 M). |
| fg2_att | integer | 2-point field goals attempted (FG2 A). |
| fg2_pct | double | 2-point percentage, 0-100 with one decimal; 0 when no attempt. |
| fg3_made | integer | 3-point field goals made (FG3 M). |
| fg3_att | integer | 3-point field goals attempted (FG3 A). |
| fg3_pct | double | 3-point percentage, 0-100 with one decimal; 0 when no attempt. |
| ft_made | integer | Free throws made (FT M). |
| ft_att | integer | Free throws attempted (FT A). |
| ft_pct | double | Free-throw percentage, 0-100 with one decimal; 0 when no attempt. |
| reb_def | integer | Defensive rebounds (Rebs D). |
| reb_off | integer | Offensive rebounds (Rebs O). |
| reb_tot | integer | Total rebounds (Rebs T). |
| assists | integer | Assists made (the Ass column). |
| steals | integer | Steals made (the St column). |
| turnovers | integer | Turnovers (To). |
| blocks | integer | Shots blocked by this player or team (Blck Fv, 'in favour'). |
| blocks_against | integer | Own shots blocked by an opponent (Blck Ag, 'against'). |
| fouls | integer | Fouls committed (Foul Cm). |
| fouls_drawn | integer | Fouls drawn / received (Foul Rv). |
| pts_paint | integer | Points in the paint (Points from Paint). Null where the season has no such column (2008-09) and on did-not-play rows. |
| pts_second_chance | integer | Second-chance points (Points from 2ndCh). Null where the season has no such column (2008-09) and on did-not-play rows. |
| pts_fast_break | integer | Fast-break points (Points from FstBr). Null where the season has no such column (2008-09) and on did-not-play rows. |
| plus_minus | integer | Plus/minus while on court (+/-). 0 on every row of the 2008-09 sample (not tracked then). |
| valuation | integer | Valuation (Val, 'rank Value'): the efficiency rating (PIR-style index) the site ranks players by. |
Details
Unofficial use of a public source: these wrappers read the leagues' own PHP sites (www.aba-liga.com,
druga.aba-liga.com), keyless, with no bot wall.
www.aba-liga.com/robots.txt is the single line User-agent: * (nothing disallowed, no Crawl-delay) and druga has
no robots.txt; no terms page was found. The runtime waits at least 1 s per host before every request.
Coverage: box scores from 2001-02; play-by-play, the starter and on-court markers, the shot chart and the
minute-by-minute score from 2017-18 (earlier games answer an empty pbp and hoopR_no_data for the helpers). A
game is keyed by (game_no, season, league_id): game_no restarts at 1 for every season and league. Team and player
ids are global; the calendar carries club names only. Club names are the club's CURRENT name on every season:
join on team_id.
Only finished games are served: an unplayed game, or one whose period scores, team totals or play-by-play do not
add up to the final score, raises hoopR_asset_fetch, as does a page for another game, season or league than
asked. The three live-match helpers echo nothing about the game, so the runtime fetches the same game's match
page first (one extra request) and checks the helper against it.
Times: CET means Central European wall-clock time including summer time (the label never changes); ABA League 2
prints Local time. Officials appear by name only; the player bio (birth date and place, nationality) is the
public player profile.
Errors: hoopR_no_data when the site has nothing for the request (HTTP 404, an unknown game redirected to
/match-not-defined/, a season the site does not hold or before 2001-02, a live-match helper with no data before
2017-18); hoopR_bad_request for an invalid argument (a non-integer id or season, a league other than aba /
aba2) or HTTP 400 / 422; hoopR_asset_fetch when the fetch failed (any other non-200, a connection failure
after three attempts, a redirect off the ABA sites) or the answer is not the one asked for (a page for another
game, season or league, an unfinished game, a helper that does not belong to the game, layout drift). All inherit
hoopR_error.
