An example of how to use the player search functionality to collect information on the quality of youth recruits by country:
nationalities = list(range(1, 18))
players_list = []
for n_id in nationalities:
national_players = []
for age_weeks in [0, 1, 2]:
players_in_age = best_player_search(search_settings={'country': f'{n_id}', 'age': '16', 'ageWeeks': f'{age_weeks}', 'pages': 'all'})
national_players.append(players_in_age)
all_national_players = pd.concat(national_players)
with sqlite3.connect('data/u16_players_s56w03') as conn:
all_national_players.to_sql('players', conn, if_exists='append', index=False)
A plot generated from the collected data:
