using own app

hi all,
I have a basic question:
I want to create and use a personal (only I have access and permission to use) web application in PHP which will retrieve fantasysports data for statistical purposes.
What's the simplest way to have access to the fantasysports data for my own app?
Do I still need to go through the OAuth process including expiring tokens etc.?
Any code segment to demonstrate how to login to own app is greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance

    I have basically the same question - I just want to run an app locally, maybe accessed via Lan at a family draft party. Do I really need to jump through all of these hoops to make it work?

  • Yeah, the OAuth stuff is necessary, because we can't just let you view whoever's private league information you want without having some form of authentication around it. I thought the following was a pretty good example of how you can maintain access to your own data indefinitely, though:

    (okay, yeah, I wrote it up, too, but I still think it's objectively helpful :P)
