Is it possible to get transactions (add / drop) via the API?

Came here for this! the old API had a recentActivity param that returned player transactions and pending trades. Any word on this?

The current API has this route that seems to return the transactions we're looking for, albeit in a very inscrutable format:

https://fantasy.espn.com/apis/v3/games/ffl/seasons/2019/segments/0/leagues/<LEAGUE_ID>?view=mPendingTransactions

Requires dozens of follow-up requests to get the player names, positions, team name/owner... Who the heck designed their API?

@rektdeckard I checked out that route and the recent activity webpage. The route you've specified was not returning any transaction data.

I tried spying on the recent activity page and matched up this route to the data: https://fantasy.espn.com/apis/v3/games/ffl/seasons/2019/segments/0/leagues/<LEAGUE_ID>/communication/?view=kona_league_communication. However, this route is batshit and maps out each transaction (called a topic) to some UUIDs that are coming from somewhere. I have no idea where these are getting matched up.

Since transactions are a bit crazy, I'm going to push transactions off for now
