CBS Sports Fantasy API

The CBS Sports Fantasy Platform REST API, version 3.0. Opened to third-party developers in January 2012 so apps could read league, team, player, draft, transaction and scoring data out of CBS Sports fantasy games. The developer program has been retired — developer.cbssports.com no longer resolves and no machine-readable contract is published anywhere — but the API host is still live: GET /fantasy/sports returns HTTP 200 with a JSON or XML envelope anonymously. League-scoped resources require an access token issued to a member of at least one league. Responses carry a statusCode / statusMessage / uri / uriAlias envelope; the version and response_format query parameters select the contract version (3.0) and JSON vs XML. api.cbssports.com/robots.txt serves `Disallow: /` to all user agents.
