Mine was fine earlier today, but now it's taking a considerable amount longer. I have a feeling it's not just us.

Is there really no way to be able to see if a given player has a game scheduled on a given date via the API?

For example, if I have Albert Pujols, I want to be able to see if the Angels have a game scheduled today. If they do, I would display the opponent and game start time.

I haven't been able to figure out where this is. I can't believe that they don't have this somewhere in the API, if that's the case, consider my mind blown. They WILL show player notes, if they're in the starting lineup, recently posted player notes, and pictures... but not this? What am I missing?

In addition, I find it ridiculous that the Yahoo JSON responses are inconsistently formatted such that the array indexes are different for a player is on the DL. That's just unacceptable.

I've found recently that about half of my requests have super long response times (~20 seconds). The other half come back pretty much instantly (~200 ms). I can make the exact same request back-to-back, and sometimes it will take forever, and sometimes it will be super fast. Am I being throttled somehow or is there an issue with the web service?

For example, I make a request and get this in the metadata:time="20097.651958466ms"

then I make it again a few seconds later and get this:time="200.96898078918ms"

Any idea what's going on?

Nope, never found anything for this, I'm assuming the API doesn't have this functionality available. Would be nice to have a definitive answer straight from Yahoo.

D, did you ever figure this out? I can't find this in the documentation. Thanks

Is the Yahoo Fantasy API dead? Why no support here? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

hii cna u plz send me the source code?i hv to implement this.nd i donw know how to get live data of stock market in android?my email id: neel589@gmail.com

Hi

I am new to Fantasy Sports API and would like to use the API to develop a non web application that will serve informations about European football leagues (standings and top scorers) ?

Sample : http://www.uefa.com/memberassociations/leaguesandcups/index.html>

First question: Is this possible with Fantasy Sports API (based on sample above)?

Second question: Where I can get needed league keys. For instance how can I know the right league_key for Spanish Liga ?

Thank you

Hello everyone-

First post here but surely not the last!

I am working with a fantastic overseas developer on a brand new fantasy football website and need some technical help using the YFF API hopefully as our data source.

Our site is called RotoChatter.com and we will put out a free weekly fantasy picks contest and track the results in order to allow fantasy geeks to show their knowledge. We will be asking our users to pick from group of 4 NFL players per question whom they believe will score the most fantasy points for that week within that group. We would like to pull not only the player data (name/team) but also the real time fantasy points scored for each of those players and display them as the games are occurring.

So here are my intro questions:1) Can we do this (our site is coded in php/mysql)2) If so, are there common scripts that we can apply3) Is there a standard yahoo fantasy scoring system that needs to be applied? Can this be adjusted? 4) Do we need a current Yahoo fantasy league to access the data from or can it be done solely as an outsider?5) When will the current teams and rosters be updated? Is this done automatically as the season progresses or do we have to do manual changes?

Thanks for any help we can get!

Hi , I'm developing yahoo integration for getting all yahoo contacts in my android app.I have follow the all steps of yahoo integration and successfully login and when I agreed I received ACCESS_TOKEN and ACCESS_SECRETE and also SIGNATURE and URL in xml format so that I'm using XMLParser. But I'm facing warning of ( W/DefaultRequestDirector(465): Authentication error: Unable to respond to any of these challenges: {oauth=WWW-Authenticate: OAuth oauth_problem="signature_invalid", realm="yahooapis.com"} and org.apache.http.client.httpResponseException Authorization Required.Please can anyone give mi hand.Here is my code.

I'm having the same issue as Mark. I know for a fact that the csv file is loading and the OAuthHook has my consumer key and secret loaded, but the post to get the request token fails with a 401 asking for oauth_consumer_key, oauth_signature_method, oauth_signature, oauth_timestamp, oauth_nonce.

It's obviously telling me what is missing, but I'm not sure how much of this I should be populating, and how much is being handled by the requests-oauth library?

I've managed to complete the reg_user process with the rauth library, but I cannot seem to figure out how to handle expired access tokens. There doesn't seem to be functionality for exchanging an existing expired token for a new one, only using request tokens to create an authenticated session...

Any help at all would be appreciated!

Hi, Can u please send source code to my email idvsam1122@yahoo.com

Thanks...

i have successfully integrate the yahoo mail in my android application , the yahoo login page openand login successfully after next ask to complete the sharing of yahoo info with enter the code yc9ue3 into demo(my project name is demo).

My question is that , where should i keep the code or enter the code. i

the comments as well as this post are YEARS old... Is this API viable for iOS app development? I have seen very little in terms of objective-c / iOS samples... Am I missing something?

Is there a good iOS iphone app tutorial for writing to the yahoo fantasy sports API?

I found this simple oAuth lib that after a few tweaks, works like a charm..

https://code.google.com/p/oauth-csharp-dotnet/>

Bummer, I also would like to display TeamLog stats via the API... The only real way to do this is pull everyday's player stats and do your own calculations. This sucks, but doable.

I'm trying to to retrieve a teams stats for multiple dates. Currently, I can only get stats for one date at a time, IE:

http://fantasysports.yahooapis.com/fantasy/v2/team/{TEAM ID}/stats;type=date;date=2013-04-22

I've tried passing the date param as '2013-04-22,2013-04-23,2013-04-25' thinking it may query on yahoo's end returning these 3 days results. No luck, I just get a bad request back.

I'm thinking this is not doable, but thought I'd ask anyways.

That code is the oauth_verifier. Did you use 'oob' as the $callback parameter in step 2? If you instead provide a callback url, the oauth_verifier will be passed to the callback url as a query string parameter, and the user will never see it.

Try this guide: http://developer.yahoo.com/oauth/guide/oau...w_tutorial.html

The above url is not working please help meThank you

Is there a way to essentially ADD multiple players at one time?For instance, if users do an OFFLINE DRAFT a method for uploading rosters?Thanks!

Is there a way to perform more than one ADD at a timeAs per the instructions on the POST section of the "Transactions" area (for ADDing players).The sample XML only displays how to add one player at a time.

What if I wanted to send multiple requests at a time (all in one XML file)?

Does any of the Yahoo APIs allow us to read and post to League Message boards?

Can I query on the editorial team key to return each player on an NFL Team?

Thanks for posting this code, but I seem to be running into a problem in the reg_user step. I set up my consumer key and secret in the auth.csv file, then after running

response = requests.post(REQUEST_TOKEN_URL, params={'oauth_callback': CALLBACK_URL}, hooks={'pre_request': init_oauth_hook})

if I recreate this manually, I get the following values in response

response.text=u'oauth_problem=parameter_absent&oauth_parameters_absent=oauth_consumer_key,oauth_signature_method,oauth_signature,oauth_timestamp,oauth_nonce'

response.reason='Authorization Required'

Are additional parameters required in the request? If so, how do you set them (sorry I'm not familiar with oauth).

Thanks again.

This is great stuff to know, and I think it's an important detail to add in the docs describing the players container.

The call limits for the Fantasy API are defined as, "Access through YQL is limited to 10,000 signed calls per hour and 1,000 unsigned calls per hour". Are these limits for the key, IP address, or per fantasy league?

Can anyone please shed light on the API call limitation?

Is it 10,000 assigned and 1,000 un assigned calls per hour total?

Or

Is it 10,000 assigned and 1,000 un assigned calls per league per hour?

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.
