LeagueGameFinder returns an empty data array

[maxjaksa]

Hi swar, thanks so much for creating this api! I am loving it.

So prior to the changes that occurred on stats.nba.com that forced your recent header changes (see: #94), I was using the LeagueGameFinder to pull down various bits of game data. When that change occurred I got the connection issue reported above.

After adding headers, I no longer get the connection issue, but the object returned from LeagueGameFinder doesn’t return any meaningful results (the league_game_finder_results.data array always comes up empty, regardless of the query/params). Any idea what might be causing this?

Sample LeagueGameFinder api call from my application (just in case I'm doing something terribly wrong):

raw_game_data = leaguegamefinder.LeagueGameFinder(date_from_nullable=start, date_to_nullable=end, league_id_nullable=LeagueIDNullable().nba, season_type_nullable=SeasonType().regular)

What are you passing to start and end?

I just ran what you sent here without start and date_from_nullable and date_to_nullable and I was able to receive data.

from nba_api.stats.library.parameters import *
from nba_api.stats.endpoints import *

raw_game_data = leaguegamefinder.LeagueGameFinder(league_id_nullable=LeagueIDNullable().nba, season_type_nullable=SeasonType().regular)

Hi @swar, I'm just passing in strings formatted like so: "m/d/yyyy"

Example: start='10/6/2019', end'10/7/2019'

After some initial trial and error it seemed that this was the date format that LeagueGameFinder was expecting. This was all working fine earlier this past week.

Could the issue be that there were no regular season games played 2019-10-06 and 2019-10-07?

I get results when I switch season_type_nullable to SeasonType().preseason instead.

Also if this is still an issue, if you switch back to v1.1.4 does it still work?

Feel free to reopen if you're still having this issue.
