Python tools for Dota 2
A thin wrapper around the Dota 2 WebAPI described (http://dev.dota2.com/showthread.php?t=47115)
This uses either the requests library (dota2py/api.py), or Twisted (dota2py/twisted/api.py)
To use the Web API you must have a valid steam API key. You can get one at http://steamcommunity.com/dev/apikey
More information about the API can be found in this thread and in the WebAPI dev forums
Examples code for both the standard and Twisted APIs can be found in the examples folder.
# Get all the most recent match played by the player 'acidfoo'
account_id = int(api.get_steam_id("acidfoo")["response"]["steamid"])
# Get a list of recent matches for the player
matches = api.get_match_history(account_id=account_id)["result"]["matches"]
# Get the full details for a match
match = api.get_match_details(matches[0]["match_id"])This contains a Python port of demoinfo2, but will probably be expanded into more useful tools for Dota 2 replays You will need snappy and Google Protocol Buffers installed
To run the parser either run parser.py or in Linux use the dota2py_parser script
To show a summary of useful information from a replay, run summary.py or dota2py_summary (this functionality is a work in progress)
Install via pip:
$ pip install dota2py
or, install via easy_install:
$ easy_install dota2py
There are a number of functional tests for the Web API. To run the tests you must set the environment variable DOTA2_API_KEY to your key. In windows:
> set DOTA2_API_KEY=YOUR_KEY_HERE
and in linux:
$ export DOTA2_API_KEY=YOUR_KEY_HERE
Once you have set your API key, the easiest way to run the tests is using nosetests (pip install nose).
To run all the tests:
nosetests dota2py
To run a specific test:
nosetests dota2py.funtests.test_api:ApiTest.test_get_steam_id
To print out debug information you can add the following flags:
-v -s --logging-config=debug_logging.cfg
