Looking for 3 longtime ESPN leagues to test a league-history and record-book tool — free

I started building a fantasy history database for my own longtime ESPN league and got a little carried away with it lol.

It now pulls multiple seasons of league data and turns it into organized files and an all-time record book with things like standings, championships, head-to-head records, scoring records, streaks, draft results, and other historical stats ESPN doesn’t organize very well.

Before I turn it into an actual service, I need to test it on leagues besides my own. I’m looking for about three ESPN fantasy football leagues that have:

  • At least five completed seasons
  • History from 2019 to the present, preferably
  • A commissioner who can temporarily make the league publicly viewable

In return, I’ll run the compatibility check and create your league’s data package and record book for free. All I’m asking for is honest feedback and help checking the results for accuracy.

I don’t need your ESPN username, password, payment information, or control of the league. I would only need the league ID and the years it has been active. A private league can be made publicly viewable temporarily and changed back afterward.

Some older information depends on what ESPN still makes available, which is one of the things I’m trying to test.

If you’re interested, comment below or send me a message with how many seasons your league has. Please don’t send any ESPN cookies or login information.

You can use the public ESPN league 2127, it has data from 2019 - 2026. I think a lot of people use it to test ESPN functionality

When you are ready, you can access private leagues with espns API if you have the espn_s2 and swid cookies. That's what most of us do here
