[Bug]: Issue with Inactive Rookies in Active Players Data

[flintitit]

NBA API Version

1.5

Issue

Some of the active players, particularly rookies, appear to be marked as inactive.
For example, player data shows: {'id': 1641744, 'full_name': 'Zach Edey', 'first_name': 'Zach', 'last_name': 'Edey', 'is_active': False}.

Do you have an updated version of the active players data?

Thanks for providing this API, it's been really helpful

@nichu96 - We only update the static file during library updates/patches. The intent of the file is quite limited, focusing more on the caching of player names to prevent recurrent calls to the endpoints. There are a couple PRs in review. When they complete the cycle and I send out a new release, I'll likely update the file.

If it's something you'd like to submit a PR for, I'm happy to merge the update (though when it'll release would be TBD).

The file that refreshes the file can be found here: tools/stats/static_players_update/update.py
