free-agent-sleeper

Automate adding of free agents in fantasy football leagues.

This was developed to automate the adding and dropping of players on a fantasy football team. This allows users to automate this process so that when waivers clear (normally around 4 AM Eastern Time), fantasy owners can continue to sleep in their beds.

How to use

1. Install Ruby
2. Clone this repo
3. Install and run bundler gem:
   • gem install bundler
   • bundle install
4. Modify your script to log into fantasy sites along with adding/dropping players.
5. Run RSpec: rspec spec\yahoo\add_free_agent.rb

Scheduling

This spec does not schedule execution on its own. It is recommended that you run RSpec via cron job or scheduled Windows Task. A Windows Task would look something like:

• Start a program: C:\Ruby22-x64\bin\rspec.bat
• With arguments: spec\yahoo\add_free_agent.rb > free-agent-sleeper.log
• Start in: <root directory of repo>
