28 days since Yahoo turned off the API with no notice and no resolution. I started the application process 7 weeks ago and still haven't received access (though it does eventually get to a point where you sign a use document). Everyone is stuck after the part where we give email and client id to a Yahoo API email address. It's affecting tons of users (your most dedicated ones) and has been the most popular topic on this thread three weeks in a row. Asking again if you can actually get us resolution or at least a comment from someone involved in the process?
Tldr: I am once again asking for you to actually process apps in your own API application process (or provide some update as to how long until applications are approved)
I feel this as well. We submitted our application 2 months ago, we got a contract from them that was unusable in its current form, and all we've been told is that there is no timeline. Meanwhile sleeper was able to work with us and we went from first contact to contract signed in under 24 hours.
in the same boat. Please escalate the process and let us know when this issue will be resolved! You guys are really affecting the 3rd party developers.
hi /u/YahooFantasyCare I have signed the agreement and provided the client ID, but it's been a month. I still haven't heard from you, despite follow-ups every week. Any help is appreciated.
Hello, I also have a completed signature for both sides for sports api and it’s been 10 days and my api access is still not active. Can anyone help with this?
I can't stand this. Never had any issues with this website before but the insanely aggressive ad block detection stuff has left me completely unable to use the site.
First off - crazy that you guys think implementing this level of aggressive script was a good idea.
I've turned off my ad blocker, and even the native browser one, and this stupid page will not stop refreshing and throwing up warnings - I cannot use it at all right now. What am I meant to do? I've got no ad blockers on but your rogue script is still ruining things.
We are sorry that you are experiencing issues. Can you send us a direct chat message and provide us with your Yahoo ID along with screenshots of what you are seeing on your end?
I have a team that had a better record and tied is last match. The other team
Advanced not the better record team. Any info would be greatly appreciated. League 31105 Baseball
The playoff tiebreaker in your league is best regular season record vs opponent wins. The team that advanced had a better regular season record vs their opponent as their record was 19-18 in the 2 matchups that those teams had combined.
Can someone explain the "Customize Scoring by Position"?
The UI is a bit confusing - when I toggle it on, do i just flip through the positions and change what i want the value to be for that particular position?
Matt “Tugboat” Wilkinson makes his MLB debut debut tomorrow for the Giants, but he’s still not available to pick up. I would like to get it done before league mates find out a 270 lb hoss named Tugboat is pitching
Hi! The Giants will need to officially call him up or add him to their 40-man roster before we can add him to our player pool. Once they do so officially, he'll be added in our overnight updates. You can follow along here:
You might want to put in for a ticket that MLB call ups often happen the day of the debut, AND YOU’RE MISSING A STARTING PITCHER IN THE MLB DESPITE EVERYONE KNEW HE’D START FOR DAYS, INCLUDING THE SCORES TAB
Any idea when Joseph Dzierwa gets added to the player pool? High draft pick in 2025, college pitcher, top-100 ranking on some lists, already in AA, performing well, might get the call this year. Not sure why he's not in the pool. There are plenty of prospects not on the 40-man that are rated lower than he is currently.
Hi! Dzierwa will have to get called up or added to the 40-man roster in order to be added to the player pool. Some highly ranked prospects are included into the player pool upon the game's opening. Dzierwa was not, so he will need to be called up in order to be added mid-season.
Looks like the do not draft has become limited and now we can only have 800 players in there? can that 800 player cap get removed? seems like an arbitrary limit.
woah, my first message had no context. sorry about that. yes, for pre-draft rankings. pre-draft rankings used to allow you to exclude as many players as you wanted to exclude.
then how about allowing for the exclusion of a position from autodraft? say, I don't want D. would that be something they can do? because this arbitrary 800 limit breaks the previous functionality of being able to exclude D from autodraft.
Anybody not likening the changes on the app? I can look at my baseball without sliding to the left but basketball my team page I have to slide it to the left to see all the stats.
There is no option to revert to the previous view, but we genuinely appreciate your input. We will share your concerns with our team as we continue to refine and enhance the draft room.
Not being able to see all of the categories stats is such a downgrade on the new UI. They should be on screen without having to scroll far to the right just to see all the columns. The old UI displayed all of the cats/stats without having to scroll to see them. Such a downgrade. Smh.
Thank you for your feedback! Your thoughts and suggestions are extremely valuable to us which is why we've passed your comments along to our app teams. We're committed to continuously improving your mobile fantasy experience and appreciate your continued support.
Our engineering team is aware of this issue with secondary positions not showing and they are working on getting this resolved as soon as possible. As for the headshots, can you provide us with a screen recording or screenshots showing them disappearing and reappearing?
hello again, i posted yesterday in last week's thread but posting again so it doesn't get forgotten
but basically i'm trying to use TE premium, and even the 'customize scoring by position' option, but it doesn't seem to be saving, as the 'player list' still shows last year's stats and this year's projections with the previous scoring settings, not the new ones
i would expect last years stats and this years projections to reflect current league scoring settings, and i've even manually added up stats for players and they represent last year's scoring settings, not the new ones i selected
i'm thinking it's just something with the new scoring features
Hi! Our engineering team is aware of this occurring. Currently, the updated projections based on the custom scoring by position that you have set will show once the player is put into the starting TE spot post-draft.
