README

This PHP package scrapes stats for a college football player from ESPN. Based off of the equivalent CBS scraper.

Installation

Via Composer:

composer require danabrey/espn-ncaa-stats-scraper

Usage

Scrape a player's stats by passing their ESPN player ID (found in the URL e.g. https://www.espn.co.uk/college-football/player/stats/_/id/4241463/jerry-jeudy)

$scraper = new DanAbrey\ESPNNCAAStatsScraper\Scraper();
$stats = $scraper->getPlayerStats(4241463);

The return from getPlayerStats will be a Player object, which includes their ID, name and a seasons property which is an array of PlayerSeason objects, containing the stats for the player that season.
