    Hi All, I have got the solution, i have called players stats to get the session points and earlier i was trying through the team context, i just changed it to league context as mentioned in the Doc, so i got it.

  • Did you get projected player points or actual player points, or both?

  • I am guessing actual player points. . not sure you can get projected numbers or not.  Will definitely keep an eye on this thread though. :)

  • Yeah, sorry -- as it stands right now, we're explicitly not exposing projected stat information in the fantasy APIs because the contract we put together to get data into these services is currently only with our stats provider. The projected stats come from a different provider where we have different contracts that currently don't include anything about the fantasy APIs.

  • Any change to this? I really need to get the projected points in the API? If not is there an alternative estimate you can point us to? Thank you.

  • Chad you are intent on breathing life into dead posts ;)  As far as I know there is no change to this but you should be forewarned that all yahoo support staff were abducted by aliens so you are not likely to get an official response.

  • Unfortunately, there is no current plan to expose projected points in the APIs.

    How about player opponents? Are they exposed in the API?

  • It would be really helpful to include the projected stats (read: I don't have time to re-create a projection model). The logic behind the projections can be argued, I'm sure, but they do provide a reasonable metric to guage future value, which is what any fantasy owner is trying to determine. I guess I'll stick with my archaic copy/paste/VBA methodology to analyzing projected data against my current roster.
