The main goal of v1.4.6 is to patch some minor bugs, introduce a unified dependency on nflreadr, and add some support for kicker scoring.
ff_template()
adds a template connection for ff_starter_positions()
,
ff_scoring()
, and ff_scoringhistory()
to more easily pull common scoring

The main goal of v1.4.5 is to comply with CRAN somehow testing our examples.
ff_league()
for ESPN now works for non-ppr leagues.try()
in all examples because apparently \donttest
doesn't do
anything anymore 😡 (fixes #308)The main goal of v1.4.4 is to patch minor bugs and to add some minor extensions such as an HTML cleaning function. v1.4.4 is also served from a different github organization and website domain.
mfl_getendpoint()
and similar get_endpoint functions have an improved print
method that tells you whether the request was successful.ff_starters()
, ff_transactions()
,
ff_rosters()
, espn_potentialpoints()
, ff_draft()
. Fixes #297, thanks for
the report @jpiburn!ff_transactions()
now correctly handles leagues using waiver priority,
fixes #299 - thanks for the report @BarkovMVP!ff_league()
for Sleeper now identifies best ball leagues, fixes #300ff_scoring()
for MFL now has a points_type
column that is either "each" or
"once" - this helps delineate fantasy points awarded for meeting
thresholds/bonuses from points awarded per-stat, fixes #301ff_scoringhistory()
for MFL applies the new ff_scoring()
points_type
column to calculate scoring history. This should result in more sensible results
for leagues with bonus scoring! Fixes #301.dp_clean_html()
to clean html from names (cough MFL cough)ff_starter_positions()
now handles a "range" inside of the total_starters
column for MFL, resolves #304The main goal of v1.4.3 is to patch some minor bugs.
ff_league()
now has a column that returns the platform's season - this is
most useful when running ff_league in batch. Thank you to @joeflan for the
contribution! (Fixes #287)ff_schedule()
for Sleeper now should extend into playoff weeks. (Fixes #289)ff_draft()
for Sleeper now has an auction_amount column if it is an auction
draft. (Fixes #291)dp_cleannames()
now can flip names originally presented in LastName, FirstName
order into First Last, and also has a custom name database to convert common
alternate names to a unified one.nflfastr_stat_mapping
and dp_name_mapping
are namespaced within the package,
so that they can be used internally and externally a little more robustly.The main goal of v1.4.2 is to patch some minor bugs.
espn_rosters
now has a week
argument to return a specific week of data.
(Fixes #276, thanks @scottfrechette!)ff_scoringhistory
now tries to return a platform-specific player ID, where
available. (Fixes #275)sleeper_players()
- gsis_id gets str_squish
applied to it to resolve some
stowaway whitespaces.mfl_players()
- add any_of
handling for columns to handle column name
changes.sleeper_transactions
now handles offseason transactions correctlyThe main goal of v1.4.1 is to patch some issues raised by CRAN checks and also
correct some bugs in the new experimental ff_scoringhistory
and
ff_starter_positions
functions released in v1.4.0.
nflfastr_stat_mapping
is a dataframe that maps nflfastr columns to fantasy
scoring rules, and is now exported for end-user usage. It is primarily used
inside of ff_scoringhistory()
.release_questions
to help remind me to maintain test infrastructuremfl_starter_positions
now correctly calculates offensive starters (first via
"iop_starters" if defined and then otherwise by subtracting idp starters) as well
as kdst_starters (Resolves #264).ffscrapr_env
relocated from being a child of the base environment to being a
child of the empty environment (Resolves #269)ff_scoringhistory
refactored and adds better support for MFL's fumbles and
firstdowns. (Resolves #265)The main goal of v1.4.0 is to add preliminary support for connecting ffscrapr to nflfastR weekly data, and to clean up bugs from v1.3.0. Huge thanks goes to Joe Sydlowski for his contributions on scoring history (and everything else DynastyProcess!)
nflfastr_weekly()
imports weekly offensive statistics from nflfastR's
data repository.nflfastr_rosters()
imports team rosters from nflfastR's
roster repository.ff_scoringhistory()
connects your league's scoring settings to the nflfastr
data (c/o the functions above), and allows you to reconstruct historical scoring
for your league!ff_starter_positions()
describes the starter rules for each player/position,
including min and max starters at each position accounting for flex spots. This
should be useful for calculating things like value over replacement!ff_scoring
for ESPN loses the "override_pos" which only had a value of 16 for
D/ST specific rulesff_scoring

transaction. (#246).mfl_transactions
- adds numeric string parsing to fix bug in auction bid
amountmfl_draft
now calculates age as of timestamp and also adds an overall
column. (#259, #260)The main goal of ffscrapr 1.3.0 is to add support for the ESPN platform. It also includes several bug fixes, code quality improvements, and a major refactor of tests to reduce overall package size.
A huge thank-you goes to Tony ElHabr for his contributions to the package for the ESPN methods.
custom_players
arguments are deprecated for MFL - it will now return them by
default.ESPN is a tricky and undocumented API. Private leagues are accessible if you use the SWID/ESPN_S2 authentication arguments, which are a lot like API keys - see the ESPN authentication vignette.
Unsupported functions:
ff_draftpicks()
- this does not apply to ESPN primarily because it does not
support draft pick trades.ff_userleagues()
- ESPN does not support looking up user's leagues, even
when authenticateddp_cleannames()
is a utility function for cleaning player names that removes
common suffixes, periods, and apostrophes.espn_potentialpoints()
calculates the optimal lineup for each week.httr::RETRY
instead - this adds some robustness
for server-side issues. As suggested by Maelle Salmon's blog post on
not reinventing the wheel.ff_playerscores()
function so that it correctly pulls
older names. (Resolves #196)ff_starters()
function - bad default arg, bad players
call. (Fixes #202)ff_rosters()
by adding a week parameter (Fixes #215)ff_transactions()
bid_amount into a numeric (Fixes #210)ff_starters()
(Fixes #212)Minor patches to dp_import functions to address issues discovered by CRAN checks.
~~Also adds minor helper function, dp_cleannames()
, which is a utility function
for cleaning player names that removes common suffixes, periods, and apostrophes.~~
Messed up the export here, whoops. Fixing for next release.
dp_values()
and dp_playerids()
functions to use httr backend
for compat with httptest, preventing CRAN errors.sleeper_userleagues
to be a character
column (because of cran no-longdouble support)The main goal of ffscrapr 1.2.0 is to add a full set of methods for Fleaflicker. This release also adds improved caching options, including writing to your filesystem for persistent caching (see the vignette!), and one hotfix for sleeper_getendpoint.
sleeper_getendpoint()
now behaves more like the other getendpoint
functions - first argument is the endpoint and any further args are passed as
query parameters.All functions now have Fleaflicker methods! Here are notes about what isn't the same:
fleaflicker_players()
requires a connection/leagueID by default - acts a
little oddly on game days as of right now.ff_playerscores()
- Fleaflicker's API returns season level data easily,
week-level is not readily available yet without some workarounds. Everything
else seems to be okay.The main goal of ffscrapr 1.1.0 is to add a full set of methods for Sleeper. Also
adds two new generics: ff_userleagues()
and ff_starters()
.
Here is a list of new functions available at the top level (ie for all platforms)
ff_userleagues()
returns a list of user leagues. This is deployed slightly
differently for MFL and Sleeper - MFL requires authentication to access user's
leagues, while Sleeper doesn't have authentication so you can look up any user
you like.ff_starters()
returns a list of players started/not-started each week. MFL
will return the actual score of each player each week and calculate whether they
were optimal, while Sleeper just returns the player themselves.Almost all functions now have Sleeper methods - implemented in what hopes to be relatively familiar manner to MFL. Outlining the specifics of what isn't the same:
sleeper_userleagues()
is a wrapper on ff_userleagues()
that makes it
easier to look up user leagues without first creating a connection object.ff_playerscores()
is not available for Sleeper because Sleeper removed
the player stats endpoint - it will generate a warning (rather than an error).
Thinking about creating some functions to calculate scoring based on
nflfastr.sleeper_getendpoint()
is a little more simple than MFL's equivalent -
just pass a string url (minus api.sleeper.app/v1) or pass in chunks of code, the
function will automatically paste them together with "/".ff_userleagues()
- Sleeper league IDs are more
annoying than MFL to handle, so the more intuitive way is to look up the user's
league_ids by username first. MFL does have a parallel feature even if used for
different purposes.ff_userleagues()
ff_standings()
(#69, nice.)ff_starters()
as requested by #76 (thanks, Mike!)httr::handle_reset()
call to fix login-caching bug.This is the first (major) version of ffscrapr and it is intended to build out the full set of functions for the first API platform: MFL.
Future versions will add more platforms via methods mapped to the same functions.
Functions include:
ff_connect
(and sibling mfl_connect
) to establish connection parameters and
ratelimitingmfl_getendpoint
as a low-level function for making GET requests from MFLff_draft
gets draft resultsff_draftpicks
gets current and future draft picks that have not yet been
selectedff_franchises
gets franchise-level identifiers and divisionsff_league
gets league-level summaries of rules, players, and franchisesff_playerscores
gets playerweek-level scoresff_rosters
gets franchise-level rosters complete with namingff_schedule
gets weekly fantasy schedulesff_scoring
gets scoring rulesff_standings
gets league-level season summariesff_transactions
gets a list of all transactions and cleans them into a data
frame.
