player stats for season

nhl_api.py

# The NHL API is a little wonky with how they structure data.  But here are some examples:

# 1. Getting a players career stats, so across all seasons.  But its all summarized and not broken down
# by year so its kinda confusing

p = client.stats.player_career_stats(player_id="8481528”)


# To get a single players season data its not as easy as you would think, 
# you were correct on the game log.  That being said maybe the NHL released some new APIs to dig into, but for now.
                                     
# For this you can swap the season_id to any previous season, and it works mid season.

games = client.stats.player_game_log(player_id="8478402", season_id="20252026", game_type=2)

totals = {
      "goals": sum(g["goals"] for g in games),
      "assists": sum(g["assists"] for g in games),
      "points": sum(g["points"] for g in games),
      "shots": sum(g["shots"] for g in games),
   }
