## Overview
**squashinformr** allows users to easily scrape <a href="http://www.squashinfo.com/" target="_blank">SquashInfo</a> for data on the Professional Squash Association World Tour and other squash tournaments. The functions within this package scrape, parse, and clean data associated with players, tournaments, and rankings.
## Installation
Install `squashinformr` via CRAN:
```{r, eval=FALSE, message=FALSE, warning=FALSE}
install.packages("squashinformr")
```
Install the development version of `squashinformr` from this GitHub repository via:
```{r, eval=FALSE, message=FALSE, warning=FALSE}
if (!require("remotes")) install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("HaydenMacDonald/squashinformr")
```
## Usage
There are three major families of scraping functions in `squashinformr`:
- Player functions for scraping player profile data
- `get_players()`
- `get_player_recent_results()`
- `get_player_recent_matches()`
- `get_player_recent_games()`
- `get_matchup()`
- Tournament functions for scraping tournament results data
- `get_tournaments()`
- `get_tournament_players()`
- `get_tournament_matches()`
- `get_tournament_games()`
- Ranking function for scraping current and historical rankings tables

## Examples
### `get_player_recent_matches()`
This function returns a player's recent matches.
```{r}
library(squashinformr)
## Get Mohamed Elshorbagy's most recent match data
get_player_recent_matches(player = "Mohamed Elshorbagy", category = "mens")
```
### `get_tournament_games()`
This function returns a tournament's game results data.
```{r}

get_tournament_games("Black Ball Open", year = 2020, world_tour = TRUE)
```
### `get_rankings()`
This function returns data from the most recent PSA rankings tables.
```{r, message=FALSE, warning=FALSE}
library(dplyr)
## Get the top 5 players in both men's and women's singles competitions
get_rankings(top = 5, category = "both") %>%
arrange(category, rank)
```
### `get_matchup()`
This function returns recent head-to-head matchup stats between two players. Stats returned include:
- each player's rank and name
- total matches played
- the number of matches won
- the match results spread (relative to player 1)
- the average match time
- the number of games played
- the number of games won

## Disclaimer
SquashInfo is a valuable resource for the international squash community. By creating and sharing this package, I do not intend to compete with SquashInfo or any of its stakeholders. The `squashinformr` package was created to allow individuals to access data from SquashInfo in an efficient and responsible way, using <a href="https://github.com/dmi3kno/polite" target="_blank">`polite` principles</a>. Following `polite` principles incurs mandatory delays on the scraping process set by SquashInfo. This prevents the use of this package from incurring unnecessary harm to SquashInfo servers via overwhelming requests. Therefore, it is important that users are patient when using this package. SquashInfo currently offers full access to their data and extra features through a premium membership. Please consider <a href="http://www.squashinfo.com/upgrade" target="_blank">signing up and subscribing</a> to SquashInfo to support their work.
