Hey all,

Can i use this during the live ESPN draft? will that reflect as players make changes if I call fetch again?

[cwendt94]

Unfortunately you cannot. Currently ESPN uses different APIs for the live draft so the data won't reflect correctly until afterwards.

I tried looking into it last year and was not able to get it working live.

[Travis-Barton]

Dang, thanks for the quick response!

You beat me to the punch Travis. This is very cool either way.

So I know this is kind of last minute, but I got something working for live snake drafts on ESPN and I take your current roster, and the remaining available players and feed it to ChatGPT through an API call: https://github.com/ianfinley89/espn-ffassistant

It's pretty brittle however because I'm using selenium and general XPATHs so if anything changes on ESPNs side, it will break.

Nice, thats a cool use cases using ChatGPT an selenium!

Thanks! I used the espn-api to get the initial list of available players as well as the total teams. I'm not sure how to get the league scoring attributes though (i.e PPR, vs STD, vs custom)

[cwendt94]

You should be able to get it in the league class settings field that has scoring_type defined!

That's pretty cool. I made a similar thing, but get the players with a browser extension. Those are sent to a local http server. GPT is given the files on the "$draft_pick-20" players, gives you an overview.
