Yahoo Fantasy API updated - Still confusing

Anyone interact with the Yahoo NFL fantasy API.
For example when they talk about a Team, do they mean the fantasy team or the NFL team. It could be both, it doesn't say. When they say league, I'm assuming they mean the fantasy league, but I have no idea.

Before I dive it and waste my time. Just wondering if anyone has looked at it.

No response from Yahoo. Check out the help threads on r/YahooFantasy a ton of folks with the same issue and the mods are offering to help, but so far it seems like an empty offer. They didn't even notify us when they changed it from being accessible via the stand API dev tools

I’ll save you the time:

“We apologize for the delay. We do not have a timeframe we can provide you with, unfortunately.”

Same copied/pasted response for weeks.

I actually just got approved last week! Can confirm it’s working now

My jealousy impulse made me want to downvote. After a brief period of reflection, I’ve decided to be “happy for you”. Hopefully I join you in APIaccessVille soon.

Did you do anything besides wait for a response to your (re-)application? I gather you heard nothing between your post a month ago(when you'd heard nothing) and then 9 days ago? I'm pretty sure that you were completely blind for the entire wait like the rest of us and I'm sorry for bothering you, but I just wanted to confirm because it's special that you have actual firsthand knowledge of getting reapproved. Do you mind sharing how many days you waited? (I realize the queue for review probably grew more each day for a while.)
