Feeds and Data
Free to use with a link back. Daily fantasy football analysis over RSS and JSON Feed, plus the Pigskin rankings as an open JSON endpoint... 150 players deep, four scoring profiles, rebuilt every night.
News
Every article, full text, with the hero image attached as an enclosure. No truncated teasers. 28 published so far, and roughly one a day through the season.
/feed, /rss and /rss.xml all reach the same RSS document.
Rankings
One item per board rebuild rather than one per player, because a 150-item feed churning every night is noise. Each item carries the current top twenty-five and the largest rank changes.
Open data
The boards themselves, and the part nobody else gives away: rank, position rank, team, tier, the Pigskin score, projected points per game, the overnight rank change, and the written verdict for every player. CORS is open, so a browser tool or a Discord bot can read it directly.
profile = standard, ppr, half_ppr, gng_keeperpos = overall, QB, RB, WR, TElimit = 1 to 150

An RSS feed is a machine-readable list of everything a site has published, newest first. Point a feed reader at the URL and new articles arrive on their own, with no algorithm deciding what you see and no email address handed over. It is the oldest way to follow a site and still the most reliable.
If you have never used one, the readers people stick with are Feedly, Inoreader, NetNewsWire on Apple platforms, and Thunderbird if you already live in an email client. Paste either feed URL above into any of them.
Both feeds work as triggers in Zapier, Make, and IFTTT, which is how most people pipe a feed into Discord, Slack, or a newsletter. Most Discord RSS bots take the URL directly. The rankings feed is the more interesting one to automate: an item lands when the board is rebuilt, so a channel can be told what moved overnight without anyone opening a page.
Use any of it. Read the articles in a reader, aggregate the headlines, build a tool on the rankings, ship it commercially. The only ask is attribution to The GNG with a working link, and that the rankings are not presented as someone else's work. If a feed breaks or the API is missing a field you need, say so and it will get looked at.
The rankings are published under CC BY 4.0.
Yes. The RSS feed, the JSON Feed, and the rankings API need no key, no signup, and no payment. They are published under CC BY 4.0, so you may use them commercially. The only requirement is attribution to The GNG with a working link.
Yes. Request https://www.thegng.us/api/rankings.json and it returns JSON immediately with no authentication. Add ?profile=ppr, half_ppr, standard or gng_keeper to choose a scoring format, and &pos=QB, RB, WR or TE for a positional board.
The boards are rebuilt nightly. The rankings feed emits an item each time a board is rebuilt, so a feed reader or a Discord bot can report what moved overnight without anyone opening the site.
Four: Standard, PPR, Half-PPR, and the GNG Keeper league formula. Each is ranked 150 deep overall, with separate QB, RB, WR and TE boards.
Yes, including commercially. Build a tool on them, pipe them into a newsletter, or aggregate the headlines. Credit The GNG with a link and do not present the rankings as your own work.
