Tools for working with Fantasy Premier League data

FPL data loader

Python package for loading and transforming data from the Fantasy Premier Leage API.

Usage

The package provides two main classes: FplApiData and get_element_summary.

The FplApiData class can be used to download all relevant data from the FPL API, including:

• Players
• Positions
• Teams
• Game weeks
• Fixtures

To use the FplApiData class, first create an instance of the class:

from fpl_data.api import FplApiData

# make a request to the FPL API
api_data = FplApiData()

Then, you can access the data using the following attributes:

• elements: A list of all players in the current season.
• element_types: A list of all positions in the FPL game.
• teams: A list of all teams in the Premier League.
• events: A list of all game weeks in the current season.
• fixtures: A list of all fixtures in the current season.

For example, to get the list of all players in the current season, you would do the following:

players = data.elements

The get_element_summary function can be used to get all past gameweek/season info for a given player_id.

To use the get_element_summary function, you need to pass the player_id as an argument:

summary = get_element_summary(player_id)

The summary object will contain the following information:

• history: A list of all gameweek data for the current season.
• history_past: A list of all gameweek data for past seasons.

For example, to get all past gameweek/season info for the player with ID 1, you would do the following:

summary = get_element_summary(1000)

The history attribute of the summary object will contain a list of dictionaries, each of which representing a gameweek. The dictionaries will contain the following keys:

• gameweek: The gameweek number.
• points: The number of points the player scored in the gameweek.
• minutes: The number of minutes the player played in the gameweek.
• goals_scored: The number of goals the player scored in the gameweek.
• assists: The number of assists the player provided in the gameweek.
• clean_sheets: The number of clean sheets the player kept in the gameweek.
• bonus: The bonus points the player earned in the gameweek.
• red_card: A boolean value indicating whether the player was sent off in the gameweek.

The history_past attribute of the summary object will contain a list of dictionaries, each of which representing a gameweek from a past season. The dictionaries will contain the same keys as the history attribute.
