🏈 Sleeper NFL Fantasy Public API Scraper

🚀 Export Sleeper trending NFL adds and drops with positions, injury status, and depth chart, straight from the public Sleeper API.

🕒 Last updated: 2026-06-05 · 📊 14 fields per record · Every active NFL player · Trending adds and drops · Positions, injuries, depth charts

The Sleeper NFL Fantasy Public API Scraper turns the api.sleeper.app public endpoint into a clean dataset. It calls the public API with whichever filters you supply, then flattens each record into one row.

Coverage spans every active nfl player · trending adds and drops · positions, injuries, depth charts. Each row carries the most useful identifiers, names, scores, and timestamps the upstream feed exposes.

📋 What the Sleeper NFL Fantasy Public API Scraper does

• Calls /players/nfl/trending/add or /players/nfl/trending/drop with hours and limit filters.
• Joins trending counts with the full Sleeper /players/nfl player database.
• Exposes fantasy positions, team, injury status, depth chart order, age, height, weight, and college.
• Casts numeric counts cleanly.
• Surfaces upstream errors as a clean error record.

💡 Why it matters. Sleeper is the largest free NFL fantasy platform. Its trending endpoints expose what every fantasy GM is doing in real time.

{"direction":"add","hours":24,"maxItems":25}

Example 2, Trending drops.

{"direction":"drop","hours":24,"maxItems":25}

⚠️ Good to Know. The Sleeper API is public and unauthenticated. The /players/nfl payload is large, so the first run may take a few seconds.
