ESPN Fantasy Football API [closed]

Question

Does anyone know if it is possible to retrieve Fantasy Football information from any of the ESPN APIs? Specifically, I am looking to get the fantasy leagues, games, players, and weekly points per player from a user's ESPN fantasy football account, but haven't been able to find concrete evidence that I can.

The "Teams", "Scores & Schedules", and "Standings" APIs from ESPN appear to return the kind of data that I want, but for real NFL teams, not fantasy teams. If anyone one has tried this before and can answer either way, that would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

In case anyone else is wondering the same thing, I just got the answer through another channel. A friend of mine reached out to a contact of his at ESPN who told him that ESPN does "not currently offer public Fantasy APIs and are not actively soliciting Fantasy Football app partners at this time".

I don't know what position this contact holds at ESPN, but have to assume they are knowledgeable.

Answer 2

I created a project Fantasy-Football-IO, that scrapes ESPN and Yahoo Fantasy Football sites for this data. It also provides a portal to view all your ESPN/Yahoo teams, standings, players and stats.

Answer 3

ESPN currently do not provide open API for this.But you can also try yahoo YQL (https://developer.yahoo.com/yql/) for getting data.
