Hi all,

I hope this message finds you well. I have developed a new R package,
squashinformr, that allows users to web scrape data on the Professional
Squash Association World Tour and other squash tournaments. Currently,
squashinformr provides functions for accessing data on players, rankings,
and tournaments. Additionally, squashinformr ethically scrapes data from
SquashInfo <http://www.squashinfo.com/> by adhering to `polite` principles
<https://github.com/dmi3kno/polite>. Version 0.1.2 is now available on CRAN!

Here is a blog post introducing the package and some of its uses:

and here is the package's GitHub repository:

Best wishes,

Hayden MacDonald
