players stats returns empty stats for specific date

[tanierell]

I have been trying to fetch some players' stats at a given date from last season, and it returns '-' for all the stats, excluding small amount of players which receive the true stats. is there a problem with yahoo's api?

can you share the sport, player, and date in question?

you could also try entering the information here https://yahoo-fantasy-node-docs.vercel.app/resource/player/stats which is basically a raw implementation of the library so it might point to whether there's something wrong in your code or this library.

I have verified it their too, for example looking for NBA, players id 5317, on the 2023-10-25.

What is the game key you are using? I see the data for 428.p.5317

My guess is you're using nba.p.5317?

Indeed that was the problem, thank you

It's frustrating. When you're using the "current" season, you can default to the league key (nba, mlb, nhl), but if you're using a past season you need to use the game key for THAT season to get stats from that year.

Glad it's sorted :)
