Details Regarding XML Data Types Available:

  1. draftTracker: Deprecated - use TYPE=adp instead.
  2. players: All player IDs, names and positions that MyFantasyLeague.com has in our database for the current year.

Our player database is updated at most once per day, and it contains more than 2,000 players - in other words, you're strongly encouraged to read this data type no more than once per day, and store it locally as needed, to optimize your system performance.
