[Bug]: playbyplayv3 throws an error when running get_dat_sets() within get_request

[equilibliam]

NBA API Version

1.4.1

Issue

When attempting to fetch play-by-play data using the playbyplayv3.PlayByPlayV3() method from the nba_api library, a TypeError is raised indicating that NBAStatsResponse.get_data_sets() takes 1 positional argument but 2 were given.

Thanks for all the work on this library - it is so so so useful.

I'm experiencing a bug with playbyplayv3 as well, though apparently different than yours.

Actually, I think I've spotted a bug with your code:

def fetch_play_by_play(game_id):
    play_by_play_data = playbyplayv3.PlayByPlayV3(game_id)
    play_by_play_data = playbyplaydata.get_data_frames()[0]
    return play_by_play_data

Specifically in line 2 of the above function, shouldn't the line read:
play_by_play_data = play_by_play_data.get_data_frames()[0]

It looks like the error is being thrown a line above that so that might not change anything anyway.

Anyway, this is the error I'm experiencing with the endpoint:

CODE

from nba_api.stats.endpoints import playbyplayv3

pbp = playbyplayv3.PlayByPlayV3(game_id='22201163')
print(pbp.get_data_frames()[0])

ERROR

Not sure if they're related but they're both bugs with playbyplayv3 so figured I'd chime in too.

@pfredCL, you need use full game_id:

from nba_api.stats.endpoints import playbyplayv3

pbp = playbyplayv3.PlayByPlayV3(game_id='0022201163')
print(pbp.get_data_frames()[0])

@shufinskiy you're a lifesaver, thank you!
