This guide serves as an update to my original nflscrapR Python Guide. As of 2020, nflscrapR is defunct and nflfastR has taken its place. As the name implies, the library has made the process of scraping new play by play data much faster.

Using Jupyter Notebooks or Jupyter Lab, which come pre-installed with Anaconda is typically the best way to work with
