GamesApi ValidationError on TeamRecords.year: /records returns year as a string

[nboley2]

Description

GamesApi.get_records() fails to deserialize for both years I tried (2025 and 2026). The upstream /records endpoint returns HTTP 200 with a well-formed payload, but serializes year as a JSON string ("year": "2026"), while TeamRecords.year is declared StrictInt, so pydantic rejects the response and the entire call is lost.

The strict type looks correct to me: the deployed spec at https://api.collegefootballdata.com/api-docs.json (v5.24.2) declares TeamRecords.year as {"type": "integer", "format": "int32"} and required, so the generated model faithfully matches the contract. It's the API response that disagrees with it. Flagging it here rather than on cfb-api-v2 since #21 was the same shape of problem (server value outside the spec's declared type) and got resolved on this side.

Expected Behavior

get_records(year=...) returns the parsed records, as documented.

Actual Behavior

ValidationError: 1 validation error for TeamRecords
year
  value is not a valid integer (type=type_error.integer)

Because this happens during response deserialization, nothing comes back at all.

Steps to Reproduce

import cfbd, json, requests

api = cfbd.GamesApi(cfbd.ApiClient(cfbd.Configuration(access_token="<KEY>")))

# Raw HTTP: works, and shows the offending type
raw = requests.get(
    "https://api.collegefootballdata.com/records",
    params={"year": 2026},
    headers={"Authorization": "Bearer <KEY>"},
).json()
print(json.dumps(raw[0])[:120])
# {"year": "2026", "teamId": 2, "team": "Auburn", "classification": "fbs", ...}
print(type(raw[0]["year"]))   # <class 'str'>

api.get_records(year=2026)    # raises ValidationError

Scope

• 684/684 records for 2026, 681/681 for 2025.
• In the same payload, teamId, expectedWins, and the nested total.wins/losses are all correctly typed integers. Other endpoints are fine too: /games returns season, week, id as integers, and /rankings returns season, week as integers.
• Reproduced on both cfbd 5.23.0 and 5.24.2 (pydantic 1.10.26); TeamRecords.year is declared year: StrictInt = Field(...) in both.
