Authenticating ESPN

Still having issues authenticating ESPN. Has anyone else been able to get it to go through?

CBS import has been successful. Haven't tried Yahoo yet this year.

I'm still having issues authenticating ESPN. Yahoo has worked for me.

Not working for me either and draft is in an hour =/

Unfortunately, the ESPN authentication is not working.  I would highly recommend Yahoo! or FanTrax over ESPN.

Any chance of getting that workaround that you implemented to basketball monster? The one where you can upload your rosters via an html page?

ken_admin  3/10/2018 11:41 AM

Yes, we can do rosters, but I don't think there's a workaround for the draft tracker.

Hopeful_Cubsfan  3/10/2018 1:36 PM

Perfect. Already drafted via couchmanagers and just need it for the roster management

Do you think they'll eventually be a fix for this?

ken_admin  3/13/2018 3:51 PM

Yes, I believe so.  The solution is technically possible, just not for me at the moment.

We'll add an alternative team import in the next few days.

Awesome. Thanks again for all your hard work.

Ken, I'm having an issue authorizing Yahoo. This is what pops up, " an error occurred authorizing Yahoo!" Do you have any ideas why that might be happening? Thank you

ken_admin  3/19/2018 6:13 AM

Can you try authenticating Yahoo again?

jtcctj  3/19/2018 9:50 AM

I have to retry Yahoo a couple times occasionally, but it always ends up working in the end.

What is the work around for putting in rosters?

ken_admin  3/19/2018 3:37 PM

On Team Players, there's now an alternate method for uploading ESPN rosters.  Unfortunately, I don't have an ESPN league to test, but I believe it'll work.

Hopeful_Cubsfan  3/19/2018 4:33 PM

Works! Took me 2 tries but that's a tremendous time saver. Thank you Ken.

Works perfect today.  Thanks

Our draft is tomorrow, and unfortunately the league is set on using ESPN. Any chance I can be linked in to the ESPN draft with the draft tracker? I have used it with BasketballMonster, and it is great!

I tried authorizing ESPN on the 'Team Players' page, and it doesn't seem to work. Is the ability to connect to ESPN still broken?

ken_admin  3/26/2018 4:56 PM

Unfortunately, it's still broken with the draft tracker.  We do have a way to import rosters once you're finished however.

TooSteep  3/27/2018 11:51 PM

Finished our draft, and tried importing rosters from ESPN using the method outlined on the 'Team Players' page - exporting Rosters to HTML and importing the file. It works for a few seconds, but at the end fails with an error of "No teams were imported. Check your ESPN League Id."

I put the correct league ID in the field, but I cannot use the 'Import from ESPN' button, as the authorization fails. Any usggestions on how to import my league?
