Play by play functions

With euRobasket you can download play by play data from fibalivestats.com and live.fibaeurope.com and prepare it for further analysis.

This package makes play by play data easier to analyze by converting it to stints (stint is a period of time that the same set of ten players are on the court). But you can also download raw play by play.

#download raw play by play
get_raw_pbp_fibalivestats(742430)
get_raw_pbp_livefibaeurope(108510)

#get stints from play by play
get_stints_fibalivestats(742430)
get_stints_livefibaeurope(108510)

With stints you can calculate lineup stats and on/off splits.

#calculate lineups stats from single game with lineup_stats()
get_stints_fibalivestats(742430) %>% 
lineups_stats()

#calculate on/off splits for Ł. Koszarek and J. Florence from single game with on_off_splits()
get_stints_fibalivestats(742430) %>% 
on_off_splits(players = c('Ł. Koszarek', 'J. Florence'))

Getting the ids for fibalivestats.com and live.fibaeurope.com
