Fantascraper

General scripts for fantasy EPL

fantascraper.py mostly works, needs more testing.

physioroom.py works, probably needs more testing.

Prereqs

1. python
2. pip
3. virtualenv (optional, but suggested)

Configuration

$ git clone https://github.com/soehlert/fantascraper.git

Use pip to install required pip packages

$ pip install -r requirements.txt

Edit fantascraper.conf by entering the proper things.

To find your league id and team id go to your roster page in fantrax. In the url bar you'll see teamID=xxxxx& where the xxxxxx (NOT INCLUDING THE &) is a random string that is your team id. The league id will look like leagueID=xxxxxxx& and same thing there.

Run fantascraper.py and let it create the team.csv file for you.

Edit the physioroom.conf file by entering a channel id and a token.

To get the channel id (works with public, private or DMs), go to groups.list page if you want to use a private room, IMs list page if you want to use a DM though you'll have to figure out user id numbers, or channels list page to use a public room. Once on the page, click Test method and then search for the room you want.

To get a token, go to this page and click Generate test tokens This is a little dirty to use test tokens like this, but I don't wanna figure out how to make it an app just yet.

Usage

usage: fantascraper.py [-h] [--version] [-c CONF_FILE] [-t TEAM_FILE]

optional arguments:
  -h, --help                        show this help message and exit
  --version                         Print version
  -c CONF_FILE, --config CONF_FILE  Specify config file location
  -t TEAM_FILE, --team TEAM_FILE    Specify team file location

usage: physioroom.py [-h] [--version] [-c CONF_FILE] [-t TEAM_FILE]

optional arguments:
  -h, --help                        show this help message and exit
  --version                         Print version
  -c CONF_FILE, --config CONF_FILE  Specify config file location
  -t TEAM_FILE, --team TEAM_FILE    Specify team file location

That should get you able to run the script once through no problem. If you'd like to set it to run on a schedule (once a day? once a week before the games start?), you'll need to use cron or something similar. (No promises any of this works on Windows).

TODO

1. Allow bulk import (ie whole team at once) √
2. OOP√ish
3. Automate filling out team list √
4. Add script to check starting lineups via twitter
5. Turn into an app so we can use oauth instead of test tokens
6. Switch to using premierinjuries.com (grab status from there too?) √
7. Grab status from premierinjuries.com
8. Should probably just be one big script
9. Use full name checks to avoid two guys with the same last name and initial or maybe use team name as part of a tuple with player name √
10. Move to python3
