Defensehub Endpoint Not Working

[CristofherJT]

NBA API Version

1.6.1

Issue

Every time I try to retrieve data from the defensehub endpoint the function fails with a JSONDecodeError. I tried many ways to fix it but no luck.

Code

import pandas as pd
from nba_api.stats.endpoints import defensehub

def get_shot_defense_data(seasons):
shot_defense_data = []

for season in seasons:
    shot_defense_logs = defensehub.DefenseHub(season=season, player_or_team='Team').get_data_frames()[0]
    shot_defense_data.append(shot_defense_logs)

combined_shot_data = pd.concat(shot_defense_data, ignore_index = True)

return combined_shot_data

@CristofherJT @- The NBA has been retiring several endpoints. This appears to be one of those. I have it on my backlog to do some testing in this area. This isn't the first, second, or even the fifth one I've seen. 😢
