Can't scrape a full league season #7

Hi Ron, Thanks for presenting your good project to us. I'm trying to scrape an entire league, based on a season--Say for example the EPL started on 11th of August 2018. When I try to run:

library(fcscrapR) scrape_scoreboard_ids(scoreboard_name = "english premier league", game_date = "2018-08-11") I only get a few matches and not all matches from that date to current date.

Can you please help me to scrape an entire season (or period)?

Again. Thanks for your work!

Armstrong

Thanks for posting this, I can add this functionality to the package. One could apply the function to a vector a dates to return all games during those periods. I'll try to come up with a clean solution when I have time.

Thanks for your response. I'm looking forward to that. I would like to have data for each match in csv's then I can wrangle it to obtain quality information to feed a prediction model. I'm also working on wrangling some of the matches, perhaps I can be able to show you what I have obtained for your comment and advise.
