I've found a crude workaround the limiting of the prizepicks API. My solution uses a chromium webdriver to access the end point via a browser and scrapes the data using beautiful soup.

###########################################

requirements: download the version of selenium webdriver that matches with your google

chrome and paste it into your CWD.

link: https://chromedriver.chromium.org/downloads

###########################################

from selenium import webdriver
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import json

driver = webdriver.Chrome()

#Initializes a web driver and opens the page in a new chrome window
url = 'https://api.prizepicks.com/projections?league_id=7'
driver.get(url)

#Beautiful soup parsing through the page contents
content = driver.page_source
soup = BeautifulSoup(content, 'html.parser')
pre_tag = soup.find('pre') #finds the tag starting with "pre"

#Dumps the json contents into the filenamed "pre_formatted_predictions.json"
json_text = pre_tag.text
data = json.loads(json_text)
filename = "pre_formatted_predictions.json"
with open(filename, "w") as outfile:
json.dump(data, outfile, indent = 1)

Hey, your project is wonderful, I was having this error while starting the app:

I went to the API link that you left on the code and proceed to manually copy and paste that info into the pre_formatted_projections.json file and then it successfully started:

Is this expected? I am missing something or the format changed?

Thank you for this development, I was trying to do something similar but this is awesome.
