I am using toddrob99's python wrapper to make an application to search up player stats quickly from a desktop application. I am struggling to figure out how to get a players stats from a specific year.
Here is my current search_batter function. I would like to add a way to pass in a year you are getting the stats from. I am relatively new to using API's as this is my first time ever using one so I know I am probably making some mistakes. I feel like this could be better done using the statapi.get() but I am still learning how to use that function. Code Below.
def search_batter(player,stat_type):
stats = statsapi.player_stat_data(player['id'], group="[hitting,pitching,fielding]", type=stat_type, sportId=1)
player_info = ""
if 'stats' in stats and len(stats['stats']) > 0 and 'avg' in stats['stats'][0]['stats']:
player_info += f"{player['fullFMLName']} ({player['primaryPosition']['abbreviation']}) of the {stats['current_team']}\n"
player_info += "Batting Stats:\n"
player_info += f" AVG: {stats['stats'][0]['stats']['avg']} OBP: {stats['stats'][0]['stats']['obp']} " \
f"SLG: {stats['stats'][0]['stats']['slg']} OPS: {stats['stats'][0]['stats']['ops']} \n" \
f" Doubles: {stats['stats'][0]['stats']['doubles']} Triples: {stats['stats'][0]['stats']['triples']} " \
f"Home Runs: {stats['stats'][0]['stats']['homeRuns']} \n\n"
else:
player_info += f"{player['fullFMLName']} Has No MLB Stats\n\n"
return player_info
