Yahoo Fantasy Football Transaction Email Notification

Uses YFPY, MongoDB, and Heroku’s cronjob clock process to email reports when new transactions occurs.

Setup

Make sure Python3 is installed.

Create a virtual environment and install the dependencies.

venv env
source env/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

Create an .env file using the following variables.

consumer_key=
consumer_secret=
mongodb=
receiver_email=
sender_email=
sender_password=
league_id=

You will need to register your app at Yahoo Developer to obtain a consumer_key and consumer_secret.

You will also need a MongoDB database connection string. Sign up at MongoDB to setup a free cluster.

Heroku Deployment

Before deploying you will need to manually authenticate the app with Yahoo. This will generate a token.json file required to make requests.

Create a Heroku app and a clock process. By default the job will run every 30 seconds and can be configured in job.py.

heroku create
git push heroku master
heroku ps:scale clock=1
heroku logs --tail
