About

A utility for working with women's basketball data. A scraping and aggregating interface for the WNBA Stats API https://stats.wnba.com/ and ESPN's https://www.espn.com women's college basketball and WNBA statistics. It provides users with the capability to access the game play-by-plays, box scores, standings and results to analyze the data for themselves.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager
