Bypass 3-legged Yahoo Fantasy OAuth
There are two companies right now (that I know of) importing Fantasy data
with just basic name/pw auth in their apps: FantasyBuzzer and FantasyPros.
Judging from the documentation I've found online, it would appear the only
way to get a users Fantasy data is via 3-legged Oauth which requires
sending the user to Yahoo to log in, grant access, THEN copy and paste a
code back to the app asking for access. How are these companies able to
get access to a users fantasy data without all that extra BS in front?
I'm trying to put something together that just gets a list of the users
fantasy team members, and it's not feasible for me to send the user to
yahoo within my app and then wait for them to grant access, and then copy
and paste a unique code back into the app... If anyone has any insight, it
would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
