CbsFantasySportsApiTokenFetcher

This gem can be used to fetch your API key from the CBS Fantasy Sports website.

CBS' fantasy sports sites feature an API that allows you to access data about your league. The API is deprecated but is still available. Check out the documentation.

The API was originally intended for the use of app developers to build add-on applications to sell alongside CBS fantasy sports games. However, there are lots of valuable things you can do with the API to retrieve league data such as league rosters on a given date or add-drop transactions, etc.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'cbs_fantasy_sports_api_token_fetcher'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install cbs_fantasy_sports_api_token_fetcher

You need to belong to at least one league to request an API key. If your fantasy baseball league's CBS name was wundersport (check your URL), here's how you would fetch your token:

token = CbsFantasySportsApiTokenFetcher.new(
  league_name: "wundersport.baseball",
  password: "myvoiceismypassport",
  user_id: "me@example.com",
).fetch

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
