DailyFBB-Engine 2.0

NEW (3.20.16) - Bug Fixes:

1. Fixed Numberfire Crawler

2. Optimized lineup generator algorithm

3. Simplified Script to run as one file

4. Removed Excess files from repo

Purpose

The Purpose of DailyFBB-Engine is to generate "the best lineup", or the lineup with the highest projected point output in a given day. The data powering this script is from numberfire (www.numberfire.com).

The current iteration of this script only works with numberfire data & fanduel (www.fanduel.com) pricing. Would love for collaborators to help broaden the scope of this project. Refer to the bottom for contribution ideas - Would appreciate the help!

Hopefully this script can help set the best lineup without effort.

1. Download all files from this page.

2. In Terminal, move into the folder (cd /Downloads/DailyFBB-Engine )

3. Make sure to install all packageds (npm install)

4. Once the output file is updated, run crawler/nf.js in terminal

That's it.
