Originally created by @lorenzodb1 on GitHub (Oct 16, 2024).
Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/probberechts/soccerdata/issues/728

FBref provides a unique 8-character ID for each player and team. This can be particularly useful when working with large datasets. I was wondering if we could include this in the data returned by the scraper.

The following is an example of the IDs provided: fbref.com/en/players/c115db1e/Dailon-Livramento

Yes, good idea! Would you be able to implement this?

@MartiONE I already have the code somewhere but feel free to do so if you'd like (unless you already did since it took me two weeks to respond to you 😅)

Is there any update for this feature? If not, I can make a PR to bring the club id and player id.

I'm afraid I haven't found the time to integrate that code into soccerdata. If you or @MartiONE would like to work on it then please go ahead and do so!
