Welcome to the cbs-sports-api wiki!

Currently this package only works for March Madness brackets. I'm planning to add support for other CBS fantasy sports as time allows, if there any you want me to prioritize please let me know.

I have only tested this with the men's bracket, but I think it would also work for women's.

Getting Started

You'll need the id for your pool. This is in the url for the standings page of the pool. For example:

https://picks.cbssports.com/college-basketball/ncaa-tournament/bracket/pools/kbxw63b2gezdknbsgqyds===/standings

The id is: 'kbxw63b2gezdknbsgqyds===' or 'kbxw63b2gezdknbsgqyds' (the === can be left in or out)

You can initialize your league like this:

import cbs_sports_api

my_league = cbs_sports_api.League(pool_id='kbxw63b2gezdknbsgqyds')

and then for example to print the pool name you would do this:

print(my_league.pool.pool_name)

which returns:
