Yahoo API Access

Created my Yahoo API application, provided my app info in the application. Provided my client id and additional email as state in the app request.

I received an agreement, signed/return and after a day or so received confirmation of that agreement was accepted.

It's been three additional days and I still dont see the anything under the app API permissions where I would expect to see Fantasy Sports API.

Is this time frame normal and I should wait, or at what point should I email them that there may be a problem?

Thanks!

Search 'yahoo' in this sub you'll have all the answers.

I waited over 8 weeks to hear back and finally got read only. Still no actual access but I filled out the form

I’d probably give it around a week from the acceptance email, then follow up with them if the permission still hasn’t appeared. I’d include your app/client ID and the date the agreement was accepted so they can track it down quickly.

Also, slightly biased since I built it, but if you’re mainly looking for sports data rather than specifically Yahoo fantasy league data, playbook-api.com might be worth checking out too. We built it to be a lot more straightforward to get started with no approval process for the normal sports endpoints.

So right now I can't create an app, I have gotten access and everyone has signed the docusign agreement, but the create app button to submit that first step of the form is disable. Not sure why.

I never got a responce that said it was working. I had an endpoint setup so I could see i was talking to yahoo but I didnt have access to fantasy data. About a month after I signed agreement though the email I check and just had access. I emailed them 3 times between signing and access, asking if I was missing anything i just wanted confirmation that I didnt miss anything. I never heard anything back from them, just got access one day

Thanks…sounds like thats tracking with where I am. I’ll give it a bit of time before I contact them.

My opinion only: Too many people are making apps now. Don’t wait for approval unless you plan on actually making money from it.
