Scoreboard data is out of date

It seems that the scoreboard data returned by the api only reflects the scoreboard at the beginning of the day. Once the games for the day have started, the scoreboard data is out of date. Is their currently a way in the API to get up to the minute scoreboard data? If not is this something you would consider adding to the API? It's a bummer to look at the scoreboard returned by the API and the end of day and see that all of the data is essentially incorrect.

  • Hmm. Could you provide a sample webservice request that you're seeing problems with? As far as I'm aware, we do keep the scoreboard (as in, the list of weekly matchups for the league) populated with live stats, at least for MLB and NFL. Perhaps you're talking about the standings webservices?

  • For example, I make the request below:

    yahoo:uri: "/fantasy/v2/league/238.l.558819/scoreboard/matchups"

    The scores I am getting back right now simply do not match what is displayed on the yahoo website. The scores I am receiving match what the scores where this morning. I also tried with the uri

    yahoo:uri: "/fantasy/v2/league/238.l.558819/scoreboard/week=14;matchups"

    Here is some header info from the file in case you are interested:

    # time: "65.651893615723ms"

  • Ah, gotcha. Thanks for the info! We do provide live matchup stats for the H2H Points leagues, but not for standard H2H or H2H One Win leagues -- those are pulled directly from our overnight data. I'll mark it down as something for us to add support for, if possible.
