get_player_details() #25

Closed albyedw closed 2 years ago

albyedw commented 2 years ago

I'm trying to call get_player_details() to get gameweek level data for all players this season, but I get this error:

Error in data.frame(fplboot, playername = elements$playername[which(elements$id == : arguments imply differing number of rows: 0, 1

I've also tried get_player_details(season = '21') but I get this error:

Error in file(file, "rt") : cannot open the connection In addition: Warning message: In file(file, "rt") : cannot open URL 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wiscostret/histfpldata/master/getplayerdetails21.csv': HTTP status was '404 Not Found'

Hi, is this a consistent issue? I just tested it out and had no problems. This may occassionally occur due to connection issues or when FPL are adding new players. The bug indicates that there is a mis-match between the list of players (elements) and the gameweek-by-gameweek information. Waiting a bit and trying again usually works. Let me know.

Oh and you don't need to add the 'season' parameter when you have grabbing data from this season. It is only for historical season (20/19/18 etc.)
