To use MyFantasyLeague.com XML Data:

1. We'll shortly start using 5-digit player IDs! See this blog post for more details!
2. You're now looking at data for the 2008 season. If you'd like to see data for another season, simply change the URL above from http://football.myfantasyleague.com/2008/export to another 4-digit year.
3. Select the data type you'd like to see XML data for (detailed explanations of the data types follow).
4. Optionally, enter the 5-digit league id of the league you'd like data for. Data types that have an (L) listed next to them require a league ID to be entered.
5. Optionally, enter the week number of the week you'd like data for. Data types that have an (W) listed next to them optionally allow the week parameter to be entered. If the week is not entered, the system defaults to the current week.
6. Press the "Get XML" button.
7. We're always interested in improving our XML export functionality - if you're using this feed, and would like to see more data added to it, please let us know by submitting a support ticket to us!
8. Note: To prevent either intentional or unintentional abuse of this facility, we're limiting you to 5000 requests of this program per league in any given rolling 24 hour period.
9. If you're a developer with experience on any of the popular smartphone platforms (iPhone, Blackberry, Android, etc.), we'd love to hear from you to discuss the possibility of offering a native application on one of those platforms.

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. All other data types refer only to player IDs, so if you'd like to later present any data to people, you'll need this data type for translating player IDs to player names. 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. Sample Document
3. allRules: All scoring rules that MyFantasyLeague.com currently supports, including: if the rule is scored for players, teams or coaches, as well as an abbreviation of the scoring rule, a short description, and a detailed description. If you plan on using the 'rules' data type, you'll also need this data type to look up the abbreviations to translate them to their detailed description for people. Sample Document
4. injuries: The player ID, status (IR, Out, Questionable, Doubtful, Probable) and details (i.e., 'Knee', 'Foot', 'Ribs', etc.) of all players on the official NFL injury report.

The week parameter defaults to the most recent week that injury data is available, but can be passed in to get data for a different week. Sample Document (Week number is an optional parameter)
5. nflSchedule: The NFL schedule for one week of the season, including the scheduled kickoff of the game, how many seconds remain in the game, the home team (and their score), the away team (and their score).
