Introducing itscalledsoccer

February 09, 2022/ Tyler Richardett and Brian Greenwood

For the latter half of 2021, American Soccer Analysis has been working on an R and Python library to make it easier to programmatically interact with our data. Today, we are happy to announce the release of the library which we've dubbed itscalledsoccer . If you want to get started right away, the library is available for download from CRAN and PyPI, and the source code can be found here.

In this article, we'll talk a bit about how we built the library and walk through a basic example or two.

This allowed us to share some new features, most importantly NWSL data and our goals added (g+) values for all players in all seasons for which we have data.
