get_college_qbr() only pulling 2020 data about espnscraper HOT 6 CLOSED

You are correct in that 2020 was hard-coded, but inside the function.

code inside function(season = 2020, ...) sets the "default" value so you can call get_college_qbr() and it would return 2020's data.

I've corrected the internals (had duplicated httr::GET()) so that it will reflect specific years again.

Thanks for the bug report!

ESPN's API endpoint is not playing nicely 😢

Diagnosing the correct "seasonType" which should be 2 or 3, but is only returning either season level or bowls.

So apparently ESPN has removed all weekly college QBR data from prior to 2020.

I'll continue looking but it may just not be available. 😭

It's not even available on the basic webpage:

Ok - I have fixed this now @JerrickBackous - ESPN altered the college API to return ALL weeks paginated. So now the function takes a bit longer but does return a whole season of weekly data at once as far as I can tell (approx 1600 obs/year).

I have confirmed weekly data going back to 2004 note that the latest package version is 0.5.1 and uses the syntax below:

espnscrapeR::get_college_qbr(2018, type = "weekly") - feel free to give it a try, but I'll also be uploading raw data to a central repo in the future.

Closing this as it is working again but please let me know if you have any issues @JerrickBackous
