To import data into MyFantasyLeague.com:

1. You're now importing data for the 2008 season. If you'd like to import data for another season, simply change the URL above from http://football.myfantasyleague.com/2008/import to another 4-digit year.
2. Select the data type you're importing (detailed explanations of the data types follow).
3. Enter the 5-digit league id of the league you're importing data for.
4. Press the "Import" button.
5. 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.
6. Much more data can be exported from MyFantasyLeague.com - see our export program documentation for more details.
7. Data types above that specify "Login Required" require you to first programmatically log into the site using the login program. The basic sequence of steps is this:
   1. Prompt for the customer's franchise id, and password - you might want to do this similar to how we do it on the login page.
   2. Programmatically call http://football19.myfantasyleague.com/2008/login?L=28923&FRANCHISE_ID=0001&PASSWORD=testing&XML=1, passing in a valid league id (L parameter), franchise id and password.
   3. If valid information is passed into the login program, the response will include a <status session_id="session_identifier_here"...>.
   4. If invalid information is passed into the login program, it will respond with an <error... status message.
   5. The above session identifier should be passed back in as via a standard HTTP header cookie in the format: "Cookie: USER_ID=session_identifier_here" in any subsequent calls to the import program.
