here is the mismatch error I keep getting. I'm inputting "202710".
Traceback (most recent call last):

To be honest, I'm not sure as to how to go about fixing this problem as it works with specific player IDs but not all of then. Here is the rest of my code:
from nba_api.stats.endpoints import shotchartdetail
import pandas as pd
import json
from openpyxl import Workbook
print('Player ID?')
playerid = input()
filename = str(playerid) + '.xlsx'
response = shotchartdetail.ShotChartDetail(
team_id= 0,
context_measure_simple = 'FGA',
#last_n_games = numGames,
game_id_nullable = '0041900403',
player_id= playerid
)
content = json.loads(response.get_json())
# transform contents into dataframe
results = content['resultSets'][0]
headers = results['headers']
rows = results['rowSet']
#df = pd.DataFrame(rows)
df = pd.DataFrame(rows)
df.columns = headers
# write to excel file
df.to_excel(filename, index=False)
This is because your df is empty for ID 202710. Exception handling will resolve the issue here-
df = pd.DataFrame(rows)
try:
df.columns = headers
except:
pass
