Add South Africa League and other competitions about engsoccerdata HOT 16 CLOSED

Hey thanks. The best way to help would be to provide a csv or excel file with all the results. That can be uploaded here. If you have deeper knowledge of R, you can add directly to the package via a pull request. If not, then a csv or excel file is fine and I can add to the package.

Hi James. Thanks a lot. Currently I have 2017 results. Can I send you this while I work on the previous seasons or should I send you all the seasons at one go?

from engsoccerdata.

yes, please send that - e.g. upload to a gist would be fine. Then I can see what format it is in and make suggestions. To put into the package though, we'll do all at once.

Hi James. Here is a gist link to the 2017 South Africa PSL. https://gist.github.com/sibusiso16/99b54fd727c697b62a0f491ee886395c. I tried to follow the format with variable names.

from engsoccerdata.

looks great - thanks. Yes, that will work well. One thing to be careful of when collecting multiple seasons is to make sure that the teamnames are consistent across seasons. e.g. if the name has "FC" in it in 2017, make sure it's the same for all seasons - this helps users when doing searches across years.

thanks

Thanks a lot. I will work on all the seasons and keep the names the same. :-) Thanks again

Hi James. I trust you are well. Here is the link to the data for South African's PSL results since 2008, https://gist.github.com/sibusiso16/8346326c482bb38c50559faebb5110a6. I did make the mistake of adding "FC" to one team and i didn't include it in other seasons. But i did fix it. Thanks...

Hi James. Thanks. Can I provided you with the updated csv that will include this weekend’s games? Going forward how will I provide you with scores? Do I need to regenerate the csv with the full history?

@jalapic any ETA for this? I'm hoping to visit soon

from engsoccerdata.

@sibusiso16 @pssguy OK ! Sorry for the delay - it should work now and be on the most up to date GitHub version. Thank you for your help and contribution!

from engsoccerdata.

Thanks a lot James.

Here is the link to the updated data (up-to 26-11-2017) https://gist.github.com/sibusiso16/c86d9aef97cbf804b0a66b7e57fc6900

How do I provide you with the updates going forward?

from engsoccerdata.

The best way is to make a function that will directly scrape just this seasons (or the current season) data. That way, the older season data never changes but it's easy for users to get the current data without having to update the package after every result.

@sibusiso16 @jalapic Thanks for addition
