bf_basic_req

The bf_basic_req function builds a very simple request object, with a different class depending on the method which the request is to be used for.

usage

req <- bf_basic_req(filter = marketFilter(),
                    method = "competitions")

arguments

param details
filter list returned by marketFilter or an empty list
method the method which this request will be passed to

return

The function returns a list containing any parameters entered via [marketFilter], and is assigned a class taken from the method argument. This class is used to help build the request via bf_request (see below).

bf_request

The bf_request function builds on the request returned by base_request, and converts it into valid JSON ready to used in a POST request to the relevant method.

req <- bf_request(bf_basic_req(filter = marketFilter(),
                               method = "competitions"))

arguments

param details
x a list returned by base_request
