NFL league_ids yielding RuntimeError

[Phloot]

When attempting to return league_ids with a year specified, a RuntimeError is returned.

Code:

from yahoo_oauth import OAuth2
import yahoo_fantasy_api as yfa

oauth = OAuth2(None, None, from_file='oauth2.json')

if not oauth.token_is_valid():
    oauth.refresh_access_token()

gm = yfa.Game(oauth, code='nfl')
gm.league_ids(year=2020)

Returns:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "~/testing.py", line 18, in <module>
    gm.league_ids(year=2020)
  File "C:\Program Files\Python37\lib\site-packages\yahoo_fantasy_api\game.py", line 42, in league_ids
    t = objectpath.Tree(self.yhandler.get_teams_raw())
  File "C:\Program Files\Python37\lib\site-packages\yahoo_fantasy_api\yhandler.py", line 68, in get_teams_raw
    return self.get("users;use_login=1/games/teams")
  File "C:\Program Files\Python37\lib\site-packages\yahoo_fantasy_api\yhandler.py", line 25, in get
    raise RuntimeError(response.content)
RuntimeError: b'{\n    "error": {\n        "xml:lang": "en-us",\n        "yahoo:uri": "\\/fantasy\\/v2\\/users;use_login=1\\/games\\/teams?format=json",\n        "description": "Team key 39.l.15338.t.1 does not exist.",\n        "detail": ""\n    }\n}'

I am able to successfully return league information, team information, etc if I manually input the league ID, however it makes it much more difficult to automate the querying of data if I manually need to identify the game ID for the current year (it is 399 for 2020 NFL for example) and league ID.

I also do not recognize the game ID (39), or league ID (15338) being returned in the traceback.

Any thoughts?

Hmm, something is weird with that league. You are part of the league but the first team in the league doesn't exist. Are you able to to construct a league object for the league?

lg = yfa.League(oauth, '39.l.15338')
lg.teams()

[Demon-tk]

Is your team key object an array still? I had to concatenate mine into a string like this:

def yahoo_login():
    print("-- Logging to into Yahoo")
    oauth = OAuth2(None, None, from_file='oauth.json')
    game = yfa.Game(oauth, 'nfl')
    print("-- Logged in to Yahoo")
    game_id_array = game.league_ids(year=2020)
    game_id_str = ''.join(map(str, game_id_array))
    league = yfa.League(oauth, game_id_str)
    print("-- Created local Yahoo league to extract info from")
    return league

So that it would work properly, doesn't look as clean but works!

[spilchen]

@Demon-tk, league_ids returns an array in case you are in multiple leagues. What you have above only works if you are in a single league. You can just as easily reference the first element in the array and pass that through when creating the League object. @Phloot opened the issue because the league_ids call dies with a bad response from Yahoo!

I got a similar error with similar code.

    gm = yfa.Game(sc=oauth, code="nfl")

    league_ids = gm.league_ids(2024)

Trying to get leagues for 2024 and it has been working fine until one user got this exception. For other users, it's been working fine.

     league_ids = gm.league_ids(year)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages/yahoo_fantasy_api/game.py", line 55, in league_ids
    t = objectpath.Tree(self.yhandler.get_teams_raw())

    return self.get("users;use_login=1/games/teams")
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages/yahoo_fantasy_api/yhandler.py", line 25, in get

@spilchen - I wonder if some Yahoo users have corrupt data in their accounts?

Do you think there's a way for these users to log into their Yahoo accounts and fix the bad data?

If so, please let me know. Then I can give this user some instructions on how to resolve it.

[jangkim7]

I resolved by querying the Yahoo API directly because I am filtering by NFL and season. One request returns all the league info that I need.
