Get player projected points? #66

Closed nsfy33 closed 9 months ago

nsfy33 commented 9 months ago

Thanks for the fantastic package.

I was wondering if it is possible to get projected points for a given player in a given week. I looked through the result you get from a call to player stats endpoint and it didn't seem to be there. But maybe it is in a different location?

If you know it is/isn't possible and, if so, how I could try a PR or at least use some custom code myself.

The reason is I want to look retroactively at the season and projected points are helpful for understanding what we knew then (also including things like injuries, as they would be projected 0)

Unfortunately Yahoo doesn't expose their player projections via any API. A bit more discussion about it here https://github.com/mattdodge/yahoofantasy/discussions/34. Screen scraping is probably your best bet if you want to grab historical projections for your league I'm afraid, this library won't be able to help though
