  title: Sleeper Drafts Leagues API
  version: '1.0'
  description: The Sleeper API is a read-only HTTP API that exposes public fantasy sports data — users, leagues, rosters, matchups, transactions, drafts, draft picks, traded picks, and players. It is free to use and requires no API token, because no content can be modified through it. All endpoints are GET requests that return JSON.
