What it does

This actor pulls live DraftKings daily fantasy sports data in two modes:

• Player salaries. For a sport or a specific draft group, it returns one row per draftable player: name, position, salary, roster slot, team, resolved opponent, home or away, the game and its start time, injury and news status, swap eligibility and the player headshot. This is the data you need to build lineups, model points per dollar and track salary movement.
• Slates. It lists the current draft groups (slates) for a sport with the draft group ID, contest start time, game count and slate tag, so you can discover which slate to pull salaries for.

It covers NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, PGA golf, soccer, NASCAR, MMA, tennis, college football, college basketball, WNBA and esports. Only upcoming and live slates are exposed by DraftKings, so results reflect the current slate calendar.

Billing and limits

• Pay per result. You are charged per record returned. Empty runs return no billable records, so a run that finds nothing costs nothing beyond the one-time actor start.
• Events. A one-time actor start, one primary result event per record, and an optional AI DFS insight add-on that is off by default, paid plans only, and charged only when the model returns usable output.
• Free plans are capped at 10 records per run and cannot use the paid add-on.
• Spend cap. Set a maximum spend per run and the actor stops returning records once that cap is reached, so you never pay past your limit.
• Anti-bot handling and proxying are managed internally. You do not configure or supply anything.

FAQ and troubleshooting

I asked for a sport and got nothing. DraftKings only exposes upcoming and live slates. If a sport has no slate on the board right now, there is nothing to return. Try a sport that is in season, or use slates mode to see what is live.

How do I get a draft group ID? Run in slates mode for your sport. Each slate record includes its draftGroupId, which you can then pass to salaries mode.

Why is fantasyPointsPerGame null for some players? DraftKings does not publish a projection for every player on every slate. The field is populated when the slate exposes it and left null otherwise.

Which sports are supported? NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, PGA golf, soccer, NASCAR, MMA, tennis, college football, college basketball, WNBA and esports titles.
