Python Programmer Needed for Yahoo Fantasy Football Data Extraction
Budget: $750 – $1,500 USD
I need a Python program that can tap into Yahoo's fantasy football datasets using their API and extract various essential pieces of historical league-specific information.
The main requirements of my project include:
- Extracting information like player statistics, team standings, draft results, transactions (trades and adds/drops), weekly schedules (head-to-head matchups by week), weekly lineups, scoring settings, and league settings
The Yahoo API Endpoints you'll need to use as inputs to derive the above data extracts for a particular league are:
- the associated League ID (each league created by Yahoo is given it's own unique ID that a league member can provide)
- the associated Game Key (there is a unique Game Key provided by Yahoo by fantasy sport and by year)
I'm looking for a programmer who has experience in web scraping and working with APIs, especially the Yahoo API. Knowledge of fantasy football would be a very helpful plus, but not an absolute necessity. The ideal candidate should be able to deliver within 2-3 weeks, although there's some flexibility with the deadline.
