Scraping NFL.com Fantasy History

What does this project do?

1. Scrapes entire fantasy league history from NFL.com. It exports all standings and games as CSV files in ./output
2. Aggregates standings into a single CSV file like this.
3. Iterate through all games to find biggest blowouts and narrowest victories.

How to run this:

1. git clone https://github.com/PeteTheHeat/FF-Scraping
2. In constants.py, update with your league ID and start/end years.
3. In cookieString.py, update cookie string with an active NFL.com cookie. You can find this by inspecting a request in chrome dev tools (screenshot).
4. python scrapeStandings.py will scrape all standings. python aggregateStandings.py will aggregate into 1 CSV.
5. python scrapeGamecenter.py will scrape all games. python analyzeGamecenter.py will find biggest blowouts and narrowest margins of victory.

Known Issues:

1. If multiple team managers have the same name, their results will be aggregated together.
2. The script assumes top half of the league makes playoffs.
