ABA League Score Flow

Score after every whole minute of one finished game (the Result Graph; 2017-18 on).

Endpoint: GET https://www.aba-liga.com/live-match/rezultati-1718/create_json.php?id={game_no}&sez={sez}&lea={lea} (after a GET of the same game's match page, which the helper is checked against). sez = season - 2001; league = "aba2" reads https://druga.aba-liga.com with lea = 2.

Usage

aba_score_flow(game_no, season, league = "aba")

Arguments

game_no

Required. Game number within the season AND league (it restarts at 1 for every season and league), e.g. 6; game_no in aba_calendar. Playoff games that were not needed leave gaps.

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) or aba2 (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 minute: minute 0 (tip-off) to 40, then 41-45 per overtime, and the CUMULATIVE home_score / away_score at the end of that minute (the site sends them as numeric strings; cast here). The last row equals the final score. 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
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.
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.
minute	integer	Elapsed game minute: 0 (tip-off) to 40, then 41-45 per overtime; every minute once, in order.
home_score	integer	Home cumulative score at the end of that minute (the site sends a numeric string). The last row equals the final score.
away_score	integer	Away cumulative score at the end of that minute (the site sends a numeric string). The last row equals the final score.

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.
