Games Not Loading after 2023-12-29

[jkvederis10]

Thank you for this awesome R package! I am noticing that games after 2023-12-29 are not loading when using the load_pbp() function. Tested scrape_day('2024-01-01') which did work. Could be user error.

Not the package maintainer, but also experiencing this issue. I was able to scrape that day - it may have been a transient API issue. I was able to scrape all games from 12-29 to yesterday with:

all_df <- load_pbp('2023-24') #load 23-24 season

#now cuts off at 12/29 - will scrape all days since then 
update_vector <- seq(as.Date("2023-12-30"), Sys.Date() - 1, by = "days")

test <- lapply(update_vector, scrape_day) #scrape all days since last update

updated_df <- do.call(rbind.data.frame, test) #bind all days together

all_df <- rbind(all_df, updated_df) #bind to original df

Also having this issue!!

Anyone finding a better solution? Loading games by scrape_day is incredibly slow...

all_df <- rbind(all_df, updated_df) #bind to original df

ive tried doing this but it seems like this error is popping:

**There was a problem fetching games:

simpleWarning in open.connection(con, "rb"): URL 'https://statsapi.web.nhl.com/api/v1/schedule?date=2023-12-30': status was 'Couldn't resolve host name'

Error in get_game_ids(day = day) :**

Update the package - the NHL changed the API url a few months ago, your version is querying the old API url
