fantasypremierleague.py's Introduction

⚽ FantasyPremierLeague-Api-Python

FantasyPremierLeague-Api-Python helps you access the data of the Fantasy PremierLeague game. It is intended for use by people who want to get statistical data around the game for fun. For now, there is a cool example where you can get interesting statistics about your mini league.

For now, you can get 2 main things out of the python script:

Distribution of players that are being picked in a specific League and GameWeek
Distribution of players being captained in a specific League and GameWeek

Getting Started

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine.

Prerequisities

After cloning the project, you need to have Python 2.7 installed on your machine. Go to Download Python 2.7.12

If you want to use Python 3, check branch python3.

You also need to have the requests, tqdm and unicodecsv library on your machine. Run the following on your terminal:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Or you can install individually by

pip3 install requests tqdm unicodecsv

Usage

For now, you can get 2 main things out of the python script:

Distribution of players that are being picked in a specific League and GameWeek
Distribution of players being captained in a specific League and GameWeek

Follow these easy steps to get these results for your league:

Go to https://fantasy.premierleague.com/ and login.
Go to leagues, and then click on the league you want to analyse
Check out the URL. It will be something like https://fantasy.premierleague.com/a/leagues/standings/336217/classic. Save the 336217 number, which is your league entry id.
Decide what GameWeek you want to analyse, let's say it's 2, and then check what type of league it is (whether h2h or classic)
Run the following command at the root of your project by inserting your specific league entry Id and GameWeek Number: python playersPickedInLeague.py --league 336217 --gameweek 2 --type classic or python playersPickedInLeague.py -l 336217 -g 2 -t classic. For h2h leagues, replace classic with h2h.

Warning: If you get an SSLError issue, then try using the python3 branch. More details about the issue can be found in #2.

Voila, you should be able to see 2 csv files created at the output folder of your project

Also if you want to run in debug mode now add argument -d True or --debug True in above command line

How to Contribute

This is just an example of what you can do with the fpl apis. I'm sure there are lots of cool ideas, so feel free to suggest by submitting an issue, or even write it yourself and send me a PR :)

DONE

This script is offered to website https://fantasyplayers.herokuapp.com where anyone can enter a league id to get players statistics

TODO

Idea: Output file with every player selected per manager in league

API changes

Hi mate, thanks for this code. I've used it for a while now with plotly & bokeh. Just wanted to mention (in case you weren't aware) the API has changed. At the minute, the classic league URL looks like this:
https://fantasy.premierleague.com/api/leagues-classic/10529/standings/?page_new_entries=1&page_standings=1

and the H2H URL:
https://fantasy.premierleague.com/api/leagues-h2h/213672/standings/?page_new_entries=1&page_standings=1

hope this helps.

KeyError: 'elements'

Hey there,

I've tried with both Python 2 & Python 3 and when I run the command as indicated in the Readme file I receive the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "playersPickedInLeague.py", line 87, in <module>
    for element in allPlayers["elements"]:
KeyError: 'elements'

Appreciate your help and many thanks for developing it!

SyntaxError: invalid syntax with print str(e)

I'm using Python 3 and I get the following problem

File "playersPickedInLeague.py", line 134
print str(e)
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Authorization error

Sometimes following error occurs

classic league mode
Errors occurred in getting entries/managers in the league.
'standings'
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "playersPickedInLeague.py", line 112, in <module>
    entries = getUserEntryIds(leagueIdSelected, pageCount, leagueStandingUrl)
  File "playersPickedInLeague.py", line 35, in getUserEntryIds
    managers = jsonResponse["standings"]["results"]
KeyError: 'standings'

Its because of authorization error in new django api
