RD2 Weekly

A scraper that generates weekly summaries for the Reddit Dynasty 2 fantasy baseball league.

Requirements

  • Python 3.9 or newer
  • Docker
  • A CBS account with access to the Reddit Dynasty 2 fantasy baseball league
  • An internet connection

Running the weekly summary

  1. Clone the repository
  2. Create a Python virtual environment
python3 -m venv .venv
  1. Activate the virtual environment
# instructions for bash; follow your shell's instructions
source .venv/bin/activate
  1. Install project dependencies
pip install --upgrade . -c constraints.txt
  1. Run the script. It takes a while to scrape data from CBS and compute the optimal all star lineups
./src/main.py -s <scoring period> -u <your CBS username> -p <your CBS password>
  1. Resolve multiple all star lineups. Because of how the scraper gathers data, it will pull all optimal lineups and won't attempt to deduplicate them; this is up to you to do
  2. Copy-paste the results into the league subreddit
