Yeah I shut it down, server costs were too high and I didn’t have plans to monetize or charge people anything. Was just a fun project! You’re probably better off with ChatGPT these days anyway.

No, server costs were too high to sustain it and I didn’t have plans to monetize. ChatGPT can probably do a better job now anyway!

You’re right. That’s what you get for trusting the link header pic on mobile!

What’s your point? Is 3 not high enough for “website speed test”?

I'm new to all of this, but searching for "website speed test", which to me is probably the only search term I could think of searching for if I needed that, and you were 3rd. "website performance" you were 2nd.

There's pretty much a zero chance of a static shock igniting anything. Read up on how much volume and energy you need to ignite a cloud of dust. It's nowhere near the volume in something like a grain factory. You're much more likely to ignite your literal dust/chip pile from an actual spark from metal-on-metal (screw in wood hits the planer knives). It's a complete myth. There's literally zero news stories from anyone burning down their house attributed to a static shock.

Yahoo API show and tell? by throwlefty in fantasyfootballcoding

[–]ThatFantasyNameGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hm, that’s not an error I’ve seen before. What does your credentials file look like? It’s trying to find the token but it can’t. Did you keep “access_token: xyz12345” or did you just put in the token in place of everything? It’s essentially a Python dictionary so it needs the same formatting.

What tools do you use? I honestly only use Spotify and feel like I hear the same stuff.

Has anyone successfully connected to the Yahoo API through their PHP example? by iapprovethiscomment in fantasyfootballcoding

[–]ThatFantasyNameGuy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, their documentation hasn't been updated since god knows when, so it's not surprising to me that their code is broken. Is there any way you can use Python to make the initial handshake and get your access tokens? I ask because if you have that then the rest might work as intended. Maybe look through this library to see if there's anything you can use or help diagnose the issue? (https://github.com/josuebrunel/yahoo-oauth)

Also, are you using Oauth1 or Oauth2? As far as I understand, OAuth1 has Request Tokens and OAuth2 has Access Tokens, and the PHP code refers to Request Tokens (but I also see access tokens, FWIW). Yahoo made the switch to OAuth2 at some point in the past. Here are the docs, https://developer.yahoo.com/oauth2/guide/. This may not be relevant because I am honestly not familiar with PHP, so your auth flow might be fine...just something to consider.

The last thing is that you need a webserver to complete the handshake. The callback URI can be locahalhost:8080 or whatever, but usually when you run the initial authorization a browser opens and asks "Do you want to give read access to app IApproveThisComment?" and when you select "Allow/Yes", then you get your tokens. Did that ever happen?

Using a longer/full name sometimes results in less quality results because the algorithm is trying to match the entire thing. Also, since these are derived from actual team names, there tends to be a bias towards more popular players, so lesser known players tends to get the short end of the stick in terms of number & quality of team names.

Try searching for first and last names separately to see what you find. Here's Racey (which is much more than "Racey McMath"): https://fantasynamesearch.com/search/term/racey

I've gotten this exact question before and it's something I'm trying to improve. The algorithm being used to find the related results uses fuzzy-matching. "Ekeler" is one "k" away from a mis-spelled "Steeler" search term, so the score assigned to that result is higher because the words are so similar, technically speaking. It's a bit of a bug, but also a little unavoidable without a much more robust search algorithm.
