numeric()
, integer()
or character()
,
vector of starting years of desired seasons in YYYY
format, e.g. 1995
or "1995"
for season 1995-1996.
Accepts vectors such as c(1995:2000, 2010)
to generate
multiple seasons.
Alternatively, also accepts character()
with seasons in the
format "YYYYZZZZ"
, where ZZZZ = YYYY + 1
, e.g. "19951996"
.
This is the format that ultimately gets sent to the NHL API.
Some API endpoints, notably seasons
exposed via nhl_seasons()
also allow the value "current"
to passed. This value will be
returned unchanged.
