Rotoworld uses three types of IDs

[tanho63]

Hey Tom, thanks for reaching out! I'll have a look - our DB is primarily based as a compilation of other APIs with a dose of name-merging. MFL and Sleeper both seem to have Rodgers listed as 3118 for rotoworld ID, which I agree is a little unhelpful!

I'll see what I can do to find a source/scrape for the right ID - may have to crawl Rotoworld which isn't super ideal.

I may have spoken too soon! It looks like there is a way to use the IDs in your database (like 3118) to retrieve players by using this URL: http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nfl/{PLAYER_ID}

It redirects you to the canonical URL, which has a different ID. From there, you can parse the javascript to get the third ID you need for AJAX calls by looking for the 'currentPath' property in the drupal-settings-json.

Thanks for putting this together!

Neat! I'll have to remember/save that in a documentation somewhere :)
