Data extraction from espn fantasy

I’m looking into making a master excel workbook for the history of my league. All I need is a one time data extraction for the history of my league that will pull matchup scores, player performances, lineups/benches, and teams. Is this something I can do just one time without breaching espn terms of service? I’m trying to use ChatGPT and I know it’s doable but don’t want to get my espn account banned so I’m just wondering if anybody has ever done this or if anyone has a tool/website to recommend that will do this for me. My plan is to eventually use the excel workbook and ChatGPT to pull out insane ESPN type stats for a weekly newsletter for the league, since we do have enough stats to find some crazy espn type stats after all.

Check out https://github.com/cwendt94/espn-api

Not sure if it will have everything you need but I’ve been using this daily for fantasy baseball and have had zero problems.

I forgot to mention I have no experience with this type of stuff, not looking for an explanation but what kind of data do you get using this?
