Fantasy hockey statistics aggregator and tracking, as well as visualizations
This program requires Python >=3.6. All dependencies can be installed using pip install ..
- Register for a Yahoo Developer Network API key by creating an app and filling in the relevant information. For URLs, you can use any valid URLs (they don't really matter here, feel free to use https://github.com/archielee/fantasy_stattracker). Copy the resulting API access key information into
auth_key.json. Remember to keep these keys private!
Note: You may need to manually set git to ignore auth_key.json using the command git update-index --skip-worktree auth_key.json
-
Run
scripts/initial_setup.pyin your terminal. Usepython scripts/initial_setup.py -hto see usage options. After running the script, log into Yahoo using the resulting browser pop-up. Allow the app to access your fantasy data. After, you should see a screen that says "Use this code to connect and share your Yahoo info...". Copy the code into the terminal and press[Enter]to continue. The information inleague_info.jsonwill automatically update. DO NOT TOUCH THIS FILE AFTER YOU HAVE DONE THIS STEP. -
Fill in the fields in
league_info.json. The main requirements are league ID (the number that's in the URL when you go to your league homepage) and the game type ("hockey", "basketball", etc.). Once this is filled in, runscripts/get_league_info.pywhich will populate the file with additional information such as roster make-up, team names, stat categories, etc.
Note: If you wish to stop allowing this app to access your fantasy information, then you can look under the recent activity tab in your Yahoo account information page and remove the app there.
If you are attempting to modify this library, you can install the package in development mode using the command pip install --editable .. Then, you can modify the library components in fantasy_stattracker or the scripts that use the library in scripts. The best API documentation I have found is at https://yahoo-fantasy-node-docs.vercel.app/. The standard Yahoo Fantasy API documetation is very barebones.
