Value
A hoopR_data tibble: One player's profile and current team: name, nationality, birth date, position, jersey. An
empty valid answer raises hoopR_no_data; the columns are always these, in this order (sportsdataverse-py cebl_player):
| col_name | type | description |
| player_id | integer | CEBL player id (its own key space). Joins /players/{player_id}/ and id in the other player rows. Genius LiveStats data.json carries no person id, so the join to Genius play-by-play is by name, team and jersey number (unverified). |
| full_name | character | Player's full name. |
| nationality | character | Nationality: an upper-case English country name ('CANADA', 'UNITED STATES', 'SOUTH SUDAN'); null when unknown. |
| birth_date | Date | Date of birth, YYYY-MM-DD (players' public bio field); null when unknown. |
| age | integer | Age in whole years on the day of the request (computed by the API); null when the birth date is unknown. |
| position | character | Playing position: G (guard), F (forward), C (center), or a combination such as 'C/F'; null when unknown. |
| jersey_number | character | Jersey number, as a string of up to 2 characters ('0', '00' and '1' are distinct); null when unknown. |
| team_id | integer | CEBL team id (its own key space; not a Genius id). Joins /teams/ id, the games' home_team_id / away_team_id, team_id in player rows and the team_id / vs_team_id params. A relocated or renamed franchise has a second id: the Stats Hub groups 15+56 (Saskatchewan Rattlers, Saskatoon Mamba), 17+53 (Calgary Surge, Guelph Nighthawks), 19+55 (Brampton, Hamilton Honey Badgers) and 16+54 (Vancouver, Fraser Valley Bandits). The player's latest team. |
