Extracts data from a fantasy game and allows you to have it on your own server.
Originally intended for the purpose of making NFL picks from a web site other than yahoo.com. Has the potential to be used for other Fantasy Games.
Runs with Node.js. It's a mashup of an MVC tutorial Hitman666 and a Yahoo! Fantasy Sports app.
General outline:
- Use oAuth to get into the Yahoo! API
- Make your picks from your own web server
To do:
- See picks from the general population
- Make it work
- Display league transactions
- Extricate the node 'fantasysports' module from util/ (why is it like that?)
Caveats:
-
As of Fall 2016, doesn't appear that it can work with NFL Pick 'Em, unless the API is changed.
-
Yahoo! API only allows callback URLs to port 80. As this entire app runs off of that API, you have to start the node app like this:
sudo PORT=80 npm start
