[Data Bug] CBS Ids truncated for 2024 Players

[jplata]

Describe the data bug
It would appear cbs_id column for many (all?) new players for 2024 are missing the final digit.

Which file is having trouble?
db_playerids.csv

Expected data
Example:

• Jonathon Brooks cbs_id in file: 2673070

• Jonathon Brooks actual cbs_id: 26730706

• Malik Nabers cbs_id in file: 2669776

• Malik Nabers actual cbs_id: 26697761

Hm, this is strange. I think we get these IDs from the MFL API. Do you have a list of all the ones that are wrong ?

[jplata]

I don't have a full list, I was pulling in 2024 Draft Data for a league, and noticed it was not matching on the 2024 rookies - so my assumption is any new players added in 2024 could be wrong.

[jplata]

Should we open a ticket w/ MFL to see if they can resolve the CBS player ids? Or any other known solutions?

[tanho63]

Yeah, it could be worth trying with MFL support, would you like to give that a go?
