Sample Code given does not even work

[mrozelsk]

I tried to use the simple sample code provided just to test this out:

from pro_football_reference_web_scraper import team_game_log as t

game_log = t.get_team_game_log(team ='Kansas City Chiefs', season = 1995) print(game_log)

And received the error:

"/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.8/lib/python3.8/site-packages/pro_football_reference_web_scraper/team_game_log.py", line 172, in get_team_game_log return collect_data(soup, season, team) File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.8/lib/python3.8/site-packages/pro_football_reference_web_scraper/team_game_log.py", line 206, in collect_data games = soup.find_all('tbody')[1].find_all('tr') IndexError: list index out of range

I have not gotten any functionality from this, but I have seen good reviews online. All I have done is pip install and then try this trial code.

It's working as expected for me. Does the same problem happen when you use different team/year combos?

Also, out of curiosity, where did you see reviews online?

Piggybacking of this thread, I got everything to work, but when using team data in 2023 I get and error. Thank you for this stuff, great great work.

game_log = t.get_team_game_log(team = 'Detroit Lions', season = 2022)

I am getting the same error as @mjk2244. I have tried with multiple teams/year combos but none seem to work for me.

@mjk2244 @julianchow513 I did a little bit of traceback and found that I was experiencing the same error for the index being out of range...for me, this was ultimately due to make_request_list call (line 31 of player_game_log.py) returning a 429 error for too many requests. Through a bit of additional digging I found out that pro football reference caps bots at 20 requests per minute, and if you exceed that limit your session is "in jail" for the next hour. I believe the same would apply for team_player_log issues. Not sure if this is what others are experiencing but may help.
