Return the fixture for a particular round of matches

fetch_fixture returns the Fixture for a given AFL Round. Internally, it calls a corresponding fetch_fixture_* function that depends on the source given. By default the source used will be the official AFL website.

fetch_fixture_afl(), fetch_fixture_footywire(), fetch_fixture_squiggle() can be called directly and return data from AFL website, AFL Tables and Squiggle, respectively.

fetch_fixture_footywire(

Examples

if (FALSE) { # \dontrun{
# Return data for whole season from AFL Website
fetch_fixture(2020)

# This is equivalent to
fetch_fixture(2020, source = "AFL")
fetch_fixture_afl(2020)

# Return AFLW data
fetch_fixture(2020, comp = "AFLW", source = "AFL")
fetch_fixture_afl(2020, comp = "AFLW")

# Not all sources have AFLW data and will return a warning
fetch_fixture(2020, comp = "AFLW", source = "footywire")
fetch_fixture(2020, comp = "AFLW", source = "squiggle")

# Different sources
fetch_fixture(2015, round = 5, source = "footywire")
fetch_fixture(2015, round = 5, source = "squiggle")

# Directly call functions for each source
fetch_fixture_afl(2018, round = 9)
fetch_fixture_footywire(2018, round = 9)
fetch_fixture_squiggle(2018, round = 9)
} # }
