tm_player_market_values command: country/ies not found

[ucce87]

Hello,

I'm using the version 0.6.6.0000 of worldfootballr.
I have a similar issue to the one reported here. When I use the tm_player_market_values command, several countries don't work (e.g., Argentina, United States, Japan).

For example, when using:

JP1 <- tm_player_market_values(country_name = c("Japan"),start_year = 2024)

I get the following error:

Country Japan or season 2024 not found. Check that the country and season exists at https://github.com/JaseZiv/worldfootballR_data/blob/master/raw-data/transfermarkt_leagues/main_comp_seasons.csv

Alternatively, when I try:

JP1 <- tm_player_market_values(country_name = "", start_year = 2024, league_url = "https://www.transfermarkt.com/j1-league/startseite/wettbewerb/JAP1")

I encounter this error:

Error:
! Failed to evaluate glue component {league_urls}
Caused by error:
! object 'league_urls' not found
Run rlang::last_trace() to see where the error occurred.

Is there any way to resolve this issue?
A couple of weeks ago, I tried adding several league links to the CSV file mentioned in the error, but I'm not sure if helped.

Thank you so much!

This is some strange behaviour on the Transfermarkt site... the data displayed at the URL for the 2024 season is the same as the data for the 2023 season:

2024 Season:
https://www.transfermarkt.com/j1-league/startseite/wettbewerb/JAP1/plus/?saison_id=2024:

2023 Season:
https://www.transfermarkt.com/j1-league/startseite/wettbewerb/JAP1/plus/?saison_id=2023

Will close this issue and once the J-League gets into their current season, I'm sure this will rectify itself

Hi JazeViz!
I probably chose the worst example. I have the same issue with almost all of the American competitions (e.g., Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, United States,...).

Can I contribute in any way to help fix this issue?
I am not sure if the problem is specifically related to missing links in this csv file.

e.g.,

"MLS","Americas","United States","https://www.transfermarkt.com/major-league-soccer/startseite/wettbewerb/MLS1","2023","https://www.transfermarkt.com/major-league-soccer/startseite/wettbewerb/MLS1/plus/?saison_id=2023"

or

"Liga FUTVE Apertura","Americas","Venezuela","https://www.transfermarkt.com/liga-futve-apertura/startseite/wettbewerb/VZ1A","2023","https://www.transfermarkt.com/liga-futve-apertura/startseite/wettbewerb/VZ1A/plus/?saison_id=2023").

Thank you!

Hey there,

More than happy for you to have a go at building a solution. Feel free to create a PR on either this repo, or the worldfootballR_data repo (depending on how you attempt this fix).

Thanks
