I'm looking to build a tool to do some more advanced roster management than what ESPN allows (practice squad, player contract/salary, etc). How can I use this tool to feed data into my website? |

That's a great question. This package will essentially allow you to get all of your League data programmatically, including which players are on free agency. From there you can try to build a more advance roster management with that information. However, I can see it being difficult as the package will always reflect your Leagues current data. You would need to store and manage your new advance roster on its own. |

Will this export that data in a web-friendly format like JSON? |

Not at the moment, right now all of the raw ESPN API data is wrapped into Classes. The Wiki shows functionality and the data you can access. At some point (when I have some extra time) I am planning on exposing the internal ESPN request wrapper that I created and used through out this package to make the API requests. This would allow users if they want, to get the raw JSON data from ESPN's API. I still need to make it more user friendly and write documentation for the request module. Here is the majority of the ESPN request code if you want to take a look https://github.com/cwendt94/espn-api/blob/master/espn_api/requests/espn_requests.py |
