- ashbrahma 15y agoThanks. I think they have some rate limits in place. How do you get around it if you have a lot of users?
- xpose2000 15y agoI'm not sure there is a way around it. You can try asking in their forums, Sean is the go-to guy behind the API and is very helpful.
- euroclydon 15y agoThe API seems geared toward getting data for an existing Yahoo fantasy league/team/players, but can you get arbitrary sports game stats and player statuses out of it, or is it only useful if your application's users are Yahoo Fantasy Sports users?
- xpose2000 15y agoIt's only for Yahoo Fantasy Sports users. It does not have sports data in general. You'd have to find another stat provider like STATS Inc for something like that.
