Fetch Results

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

fetch_results_afl(), fetch_results_afltables(), fetch_results_footywire(), fetch_results_squiggle() can be called directly and return data from AFL website, AFL Tables, Footywire and Squiggle, respectively.

Examples

if (FALSE) {
# Return data for whole season from AFL Website
fetch_results(2020)

# This is equivalent to
fetch_results(2020, source = "AFL")
fetch_results_afl(2020)

# Return AFLW data
fetch_results(2020, comp = "AFLW", source = "AFL")
fetch_results_afl(2020, comp = "AFLW")

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

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

# Directly call functions for each source
fetch_results_afl(2018, round = 9)
fetch_results_footywire(2018, round = 9)
fetch_results_afltables(2018, round = 9)
fetch_results_squiggle(2018, round = 9)
