espn-api

An unofficial espn "api" attempt for Node.js that gets data by scraping the espn ff page. Its not really usable at this point especially since the ESPN fantasy football website is always changing. Feel free to use any of the code in this if you are attempting to make your own web scraper for ESPN.

Install

npm i espn-api

Usage

require

const espn_api = require("espn-api");

const espnApi = require("espn-api").espnApi;
const api = new espnApi("username", "password", "462787");
(async()=>{
        await api.login();
        const standing = await api.getStandings();
        const scores = await api.getScores();
        await api.closeBrowser();
