Today I finished up the basic game cast api that is used when you click on the game cast for a matchup. The thing I care most about here is the percentComplete field for each event because I think taht will definitely help with the matchup win probability field. I can query that for each player my using the players team id and cross referencing which event that competetitor is in and see the percent complete.
Today we uncovered all the details of the schedule object that is revealed in mLiveScoring, mScoreboard, mMatchupScore and mMatchup. Go check it out at in depth analysis of the response data.
Because I love fantasy football, databases, and analytics, I've decided to do a deep dive through the ESPN Fantasy Football API this week to document how to get this data and demonstrate how to use Jackson and create SpringBoot apps and MySql databases in the process! Badass right!
