[zaynpatel]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have installed the latest development version of the package.

If this is a data issue, have you tried clearing your nflverse cache?

I have cleared my nflverse cache and the issue persists.

What version of the package do you have?

‘5.1.0.9007’

Describe the bug

The nflfastR beginners guide has the following line of code to load the data:

data <- readRDS(url('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/guga31bb/nflfastR-data/master/data/play_by_play_2019.rds'))

This reports a 404: Not Found error.

Question: Is there an updated link?

Reprex

Run the following line:


data <- readRDS(url('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/guga31bb/nflfastR-data/master/data/play_by_play_2019.rds'))

Expected Behavior

I suspect that this will return data and a 200 status code.

nflverse_sitrep

NA

Screenshots

Additional context

No response

Hm that guide is definitely outdated @guga31bb

@zaynpatel please try the following to load full season play by play data

You might have to install nflreadr with

install.packages("nflreadr")

then load pbp with

nflreadr::load_pbp(2019)

Wonderful, as I spend more time with the package would you mind if I opened a PR with some updates?

Very welcome to suggest updates to the Beginner's Guide vignette (and any of the docs, really)! Try to open an issue before starting a PR on any of the functions, though :)
