Pull Any Player's STAT's regardless of Fantasy Team Association
Hi,
Struggling a lot with pulling YQL Queries into my web app. I'm building a draft app and I would like to pull player specific info from Yahoo's site. I've been setting up OAuth and it appears to work ok. I can pull data from the fantasy api just fine. However, I will need to do searches without knowing the player key. So, I would like the ability to query on a player's name and nfl team affiliation to pull things such as last year's stats or direct the user back to Yahoo's Player Profile Page for news and updates.
If I run my query in the YQL Console: select * from fantasysports.players where league_key = 'league_key' and name.last like '%Kasay%'; It works fine. I can also get the same info into the app. I knew to select Kasay because I tried running a simple select all query without specifying any player criteria. However, when I slightly modify the query to:
select * from fantasysports.players where league_key = '[league_key]' and name.first like '%Calvin%;
I get nothing. Is this a restriction of the Fantasy Sports API? Is it a requirement that we know all player_keys before we do a search? If not, am I not formulating the query correctly?
Thanks for your assistance.
