}About the draftsharks.com API
The DraftSharks API exposes 5 endpoints covering fantasy football rankings, player profiles, strength-of-schedule analysis, team depth charts, and news. The get_rankings endpoint returns up to 500 players with tier, ADP, and projection data filtered by scoring format (PPR, half-PPR, non-PPR), position, and league type (standard or superflex), including dynasty redraft modes.
Rankings and Player Profiles
The get_rankings endpoint accepts parameters for scoring (ppr, half-ppr, non-ppr), position (QB, RB, WR, TE, or all), is_dynasty (true/false), league_type (standard or superflex), and depth (rankings or analysis). Each player object in the response includes rank, tier_overall, tier_positional, is_rookie, team, and game-level data. Note that some parameter combinations — such as dynasty + analysis + non-ppr — are not supported and will return an empty or error response.
The get_player_profile endpoint takes a numeric player_id (e.g. 9962 for Josh Allen) and returns the full playerPageAppVar object: bio details, weekly predictions, season projections, consensus projections, and scoring configurations. Dynasty-focused responses also include a dynasty_trade_values object with labeled scores and a dynasty_analysis text block when available.
Schedule and Team Data
get_strength_of_schedule returns a teamData array covering all 32 NFL teams. Each team object includes id, abbr, bye week, and a full season schedule with per-opponent matchup details. The currentWeek field tells you where in the current NFL season you are. The position parameter accepts qb, rb, wr, te, or k, making it useful for position-specific matchup analysis.
get_depth_charts accepts a team_slug (e.g. buffalo-bills) and returns the team's depth chart organized into sections — Offense, Defense, and Special Teams — each listing positions with an ordered array of players. get_news_articles requires no inputs and returns a list of recent articles with title, link, date, summary, and optional player association metadata.
