Players Selector

Lightweight node for querying basic player information from the Football API. This node returns essential player data only, making it ideal for browsing, filtering, and selecting players for further analysis.

Unlike the full Players node, this selector does NOT retrieve detailed season statistics. This makes queries faster and more efficient for browsing large player rosters.

The output can be filtered using KNIME's Row Filter or other filtering nodes, then fed into the Player Stats node to retrieve comprehensive match-by-match statistics for only the selected players.

Supports querying players by team, searching by name, or looking up specific player IDs.
