4.2.2

This release includes #79 and #80.

#79 attempts to handle empty or blank string values for numerical fields while #80 upgrades the urllib3 library to 1.25.2 due to a security vulnerability with versions less than 1.24.2.

4.2.1

As #76 noted, the player season statistics method threw an error because a player's age value was an empty string.

This fix checks to see if the age value is an empty string, and if so, returns None.

4.2.0

Add player slug to player box score and player season totals (#75)

As #74 pointed out, player box scores and player season totals do not have a unique identifier.

The data-append-csv attribute on a player's name cell should be used - this value is the URI slug for a player's Basketball Reference Page.

4.1.0

Add team_box_scores client method that scrapes the Team Total rows from specific game page tables.

This method is called with specific day, month, and year parameters.

PR #71

4.0.0

• Parse player season total positions as list (#60)
• Parse season total team enum as string (#63)
• Raise InvalidDate error for non-200 player box score responses (#64)

3.1.3

Fix schedule parsing for future games - specifically how game scores were being parsed (#48 and #61 )

3.1.2

#55 adds the "F", "G-F", "F-C", "G" positions and hopefully resolves #54

3.1.1

Resolves #52 - Jimmy Butler's 2018 Phildelphia 76ers Season Totals include the position value F-G.

Normally, it's seemed that a player's season total position values for a particular team are limited to a single position.

Only when a player has played multiple positions for multiple teams over a given season are multiple positions indicated for that player, and only for the player's overall season total row.

Going forward, it might be better to parse that field as a list, if this trend continues.

However, this would be a breaking change and would need to be a major version upgrade.

3.1.0

Fix CSV output errors for players_season_totals client method.

3.0.0

The V3 version of basketball_reference_web_scraper.

It contains an updated API for getting season schedules, player box scores, and player season totals.

It allows for output to Python data structures, JSON output (both in-memory and to a file), and CSV output (to a file, only).
