list_playersReturns a page of NFL players (player_id, name, position, team), optionally for one position, paged with next_cursor. Use it to browse a position group; to find a specific player, search_players is faster. Free plan.
search_playersFinds players by full or partial name (case-insensitive) and returns each match's exact player_id ("First Last#POS"), team and position. Use it first whenever you have a name but not the id the other tools need. Defenses match by team code or nickname too ("TB", "Bucs", "Tampa B…
get_playerReturns one player's profile by id: name, team, position, injury status, jersey and cross-system ids, plus per-season data on Basic and above. Use it to check a player's current team or injury status. Free plan (profile fields only; season data needs Basic).
get_projectionsReturns projected fantasy points for every player in an NFL week (1-18), in PPR, half-PPR or standard scoring, optionally for one position or team. Use it for start/sit, rankings and "top N at a position this week". Each row also has gridiron_projection, GridIron Data's own mode…
get_player_by_espn_idReturns the player whose ESPN athlete id this is (the numeric id ESPN and many sportsbook feeds use), as the same record get_player returns. Use it to join ESPN or sportsbook data to GridIron player ids. Free plan.
get_prop_probabilityReturns the probability a player goes over or under a stat line (passing, rushing or receiving yards, TDs, attempts, completions, interceptions, receptions), with fair no-vig American odds for each side, the projected mean and spread, the week's game and betting line, and the mo…
get_defense_vs_positionReturns what each NFL defense allows per game to QBs, RBs, WRs or TEs: fantasy points plus yards, TDs, receptions and targets, from ESPN box scores, ranked so rank 1 allows the most (the best matchup). Use it for matchup-based start/sit and streaming, optionally over the last N…
get_player_statsReturns a player's actual stats for one season (2020 to now): fantasy points week by week and in total in the chosen scoring, plus the raw stat line and snap share each week. Use it for "how did X do" questions, game logs and comparisons with projections. Basic plan and above.
get_deviationsReturns how a player's actual fantasy points compared with his projections: the average deviation and each week's projected vs actual. Use it to judge boom/bust tendencies or whether a player keeps beating (or missing) his projection. Basic plan and above.
get_snap_shareReturns a player's offensive snap share each week (the % of his team's offensive plays he was on the field for), the season average, and a trailing average with its change vs the season. Use it to spot role changes before they show in the box score (a committee back taking over,…
get_matchupsReturns a player's past games and fantasy points against one opponent. Use it for matchup questions like "how does he do against KC?". Basic plan and above.
get_player_newsReturns recent news headlines for one player, newest first, each tagged by impact (injury, role, transaction or general). Use it for "any news on X?" and injury or role questions about a specific player; for the whole league use get_latest_news. Basic plan and above.
request_news_scrapeQueues an on-demand news pull for a player who has no news coverage yet and returns at once (202); the headlines appear in get_player_news shortly after. Use it only when get_player_news comes back empty. Asking twice is harmless. Basic plan and above.
get_latest_newsReturns the league-wide NFL news feed across every tracked player, newest first: signings, trades, cuts, injuries and depth-chart moves, filterable by time, impact, position and team, paged with next_cursor. Use it for "what happened today/this week" or a team's or position's la…
get_ros_projectionsReturns each player's projected fantasy points for the rest of the current season (weeks already played and his bye are skipped), with games_remaining and points_per_game. Use it for trades, waiver pickups and dynasty or keeper decisions. Filter by position, team or one player.…
get_scheduleReturns the NFL regular-season schedule: week, home and away teams, kickoff time (UTC), status and final score, for a season, one week or one team (with that team's bye week). Use it for "who plays whom", kickoff times and results. Basic plan and above; Pro keys also get each ga…
get_byesReturns every team's bye week for a season, and the teams on bye each week. Use it to plan lineups and spot bye-week holes on a roster. Basic plan and above.
get_injury_changesReturns players whose injury status changed since a time (default the last 24 hours, up to 14 days back), with previous_status, status and detected_at. Statuses are checked against ESPN every 2 minutes from 8am to 1am ET. Use it for "who got hurt or cleared today?" and game-day…
get_player_by_gsis_idReturns the player with this NFL GSIS id (e.g. "00-0034857", the key nflverse and NFL data use), as the same record get_player returns, with an ids map (gsis, pfr, pff, nfl, espn, sleeper) from the daily nflverse crosswalk. Use it to join nflverse or NFL data to GridIron. Free p…
get_depth_chartReturns NFL depth charts as of the daily nflverse refresh (as_of), for one team or all 32, optionally one position or group (CB, LB, EDGE, ...) or starters only. Each entry has the player, ids, position, formation, slot, depth within the slot (1 = starter), a starter flag, and t…
get_inactivesReturns the NFL's official game-day inactives for a week (default the newest week published), by team, with gsis, espn, sleeper and pfr ids. Published after the games, usually days later. Use it for audits and backtesting, not as a pre-kickoff list (teams_published vs teams_play…
