I forked this hobby project from leej11/fpl_draft_league ⚽️
The starter code in this project from leej11 provided a solid foundation of calling the Premier League's Fantasy API and creating chart visualizations for user groups.
I have extended the project to email myself a generated report of players that have been added to the league, injury/transfer status updates of players, and weekly charts for the latest gameweek - as a scheduled job.
The job runs daily using cron. It is scheduled on my local machine and works to compare the api information of the previous day from an updated sqlite table with the currently fetched api extracts.
An example of the configuration file/variables required to run the project are located in fpl_newsletter/configuration/example-config.json.
The entry point program that gets run when being scripted is fpl_newsletter/main.py.
I am currently running this project on Python 3.10.9 with all my downloaded packages installed with pip and frozen to requirements.txt.
After downloading the correct version of Python and creating a virtual environment, you can easily setup these packages with this command: pip3 install -r requirements.txt.
