Fetch Ladder

Source: R/fetch-ladder.R

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

fetch_ladder_afl(), fetch_ladder_afltables(), fetch_ladder_squiggle() can be called directly and return data from AFL website, AFL Tables and Squiggle, respectively.

fetch_ladder(
  season = NULL,
  round_number = NULL,
  comp = "AFLM",
  source = "AFL",
  ...
)

fetch_ladder_afl(season = NULL, round_number = NULL, comp = "AFLM")

fetch_ladder_afltables(
  season = NULL,
  round_number = NULL,
  match_results_df = NULL
)

fetch_ladder_squiggle(season = NULL, round_number = NULL)

Arguments

round_number

Round number, defaults to NULL which returns latest round

Examples

if (FALSE) {
# Return data from AFL Website
fetch_ladder(2020, round = 1)

# This is equivalent to
fetch_ladder(2020, round = 1, source = "AFL")
fetch_ladder_afl(2020, round = 1)

# Return AFLW data
fetch_ladder(2020, round = 1, comp = "AFLW", source = "AFL")
fetch_ladder_afl(2020, round = 1, comp = "AFLW")

# Not all sources have AFLW data and will return a warning
fetch_ladder(2020, round = 1, comp = "AFLW", source = "afltables")
fetch_ladder(2020, round = 1, comp = "AFLW", source = "squiggle")

# Different sources
fetch_ladder(2015, round = 5, source = "afltables")
fetch_ladder(2015, round = 5, source = "squiggle")

# Directly call functions for each source
fetch_ladder_afl(2018, round = 9)
fetch_ladder_afltables(2018, round = 9)
fetch_ladder_squiggle(2018, round = 9)
