Will update with more information as I find more...

@peteywhit now that the new season has "started", I am able to do something like

const currentSeason = await fetch(
  'https://site.api.espn.com/apis/common/v3/sports/football/college-football/season',
).then((res) => res.json())

const { year: currentSeasonYear } = currentSeason

const espnBody = await fetch(
  'https://site.api.espn.com/apis/common/v3/sports/football/college-football/seasons',
).then((res) => res.json())

const currentYearData = espnBody.seasons.find(
  (season: Season) => season.year === currentSeasonYear,
)

const regularSeasonWeeks = currentYearData.types.find(
  ({ type }: SeasonTypes) => type === 2,
).weeks

const currentWeek = regularSeasonWeeks.find((week: Week) => {
  const startDate = new Date(week.startDate)
  const endDate = new Date(week.endDate)
  return currentDate >= startDate && currentDate <= endDate
})

Although it would be nice to be able to do something like

https://site.api.espn.com/apis/common/v3/sports/football/college-football/season?seasontypes=2

or

https://site.api.espn.com/apis/common/v3/sports/football/college-football/season/seasontypes/2

I was trying to follow something similar to https://www.espn.com/college-football/schedule/_/week/1/year/2024/seasontype/2 but no dice. However, I did find

https://site.api.espn.com/apis/common/v3/sports/football/college-football/seasons?startingseason=2024

Which that is definitely better than getting back ALL seasons 😅 so going to play around with that and revise some of the code up above

Anyone have a beat on the ESPN Fantasy API? My previous calls are no longer working that point here: http://fantasy.espn.com/apis/v3/games/ffl/seasons

I would imagine they updated it somehow but I'm unable to source it. Any help would be appreciated!

Any ideas for Olympics API ? for medals or things like that
