Help Accessing Box-Player Class

[Jfreundlich01]

Would like to start this off by saying how impressed I am with this API, been looking for something like this for a while, and am having a lot of fun digging around in it. I am relatively new to coding, have some experience with HTML, Java and SQL, but not super familiar with Python.

I am trying to access the Box Player class.

Once I import my league and attach it to a variable 'league' this is my code:

teams = league.teams
team = teams[0]

player = team.roster[0]
name = player.name
proj = name.projected_points

print(name, proj)

Not sure what I am doing wrong. Any help is appreciated!

Hey @Jfreundlich01, I am glad this package has been useful!

So after you have created a League object the players on a teams roster is from the Player Class which just has all of the general information of that player across the season. If you want to get matchup and specific week player data you can call the league.box_scores() interface which returns Box Score Class

I hope this helps!

So where in the documentation is "league.box_scores()"? I looked at the wiki and didn't see anything about it. Like how do I get info from all the matchups over the year?

You can find example of using box_scores on the main Football Page and little overview on the Football League Interface Page.

If you want to get info from all the matchups over the year you can loop through each week and call box_scores() For example

# your number of weeks in league
for week in range(16)
   matchup = league.box_scores(week)
