Python wrapper for the Fantasy Premier League API

I was browsing https://utopian.io/ earlier in the week and came across a great post by @emrebeyler where he showcased his Python wrapper for the Utopian API and this inspired me to make one for the Fantasy Premier League API!

The Fantasy Premier League is a game, with more than five million users, in which users assemble their fantasy team consisting of real footballers and score points based on those players' performances in real life. The game is also huge on Steemit, with @acidyo and @arsenal49 doing great work!

Personally I do a lot of programming in Python with the Fantasy Premier League API and have made this wrapper to make my life and other people's lives easier when doing this, as there surprisingly isn't already one (at least from what I could find). I've never done something like this before, so I've used @emrebeyler's API as a huge example for my first, basic version 0.2.0.

Installation

pip install fpl

Usage

import fpl
fpl = fpl.FPL()

print(fpl.user_picks("3523615"))

• Get specific user's cup information

print(fpl.user_cup("3523615"))

• Get specific user's transfers

print(fpl.user_transfers("3523615"))

• Get specific user's entered leagues

print(fpl.user_leagues_entered("3523615"))

• Get teams

print(fpl.teams)

• Get players

print(fpl.players)

• Get specific player

print(fpl.player("123"))

• Get gameweeks

print(fpl.gameweeks)

• Get specific gameweek

print(fpl.gameweek(20))

• Get game settings

Tests

$ python test.py 
..............
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ran 14 tests in 3.687s

OK

Improvements

In the future I will be looking at other Python wrappers like PRAW and python-twitter and improving my own wrapper to (hopefully) be of a similar quality as those two.
