Dota2-API

Introduction

This project is a fork from l2x /dota2api

It should be used to fetch information from the Dota webapi, but provides higher level wrappers, so it is easier to use.

Installation

go get github.com/Neirpyc/dota2api

Setup

Reads settings from the file config.yaml.

Here is an example:

---
Timeout: 10
SteamApiKey:  "<Your Steam API Key>"
SteamApi: "https://api.steampowered.com"
SteamUser: "ISteamUser"
SteamApiVersion: "V001"
Dota2Match: "IDOTA2Match_570"
Dota2Econ: "IEconDOTA2_570"
Dota2CDN: "http://cdn.dota2.com/apps/dota2/images"
Dota2ApiVersion: "V001"

Usage

This project is in active development, therefore, new functions will be added, existing one (mostly legacy function from l2x's code) will be removed, and new ones could be modified.

Yet, here are examples for the currently working non-legacy function:

Heroes

These functions should be used to get the name or the ID of a hero

heroes, err := api.GetHeroes()
if err != nil{
    panic(err)
}
h, found := heroes.GetById(10)
if !found{
    panic("ID not found")
}
fmt.Printf("Name: %s, ID: %d\n", h.Name.GetFullName(), h.ID)
h, found = heroes.GetByName("npc_dota_hero_antimage")
if !found{
    panic("Name not found")
}
fmt.Printf("Name: %s, ID: %d\n", h.Name.GetFullName(), h.ID)

Items

These functions should be used to get the name or the ID of a hero

items, err := api.GetItems
    panic(err)
}
i, found := items.GetById(10)
if !found{
    panic("ID not found")
}
fmt.Printf("Name: %s, ID: %d, Cost:%d\n", i.Name.GetFullName(), i.ID, i.Cost)
i, found = items.GetByName("item_blink")
if !found{
    panic("Name not found")
}
fmt.Printf("Name: %s, ID: %d, Cost:%d\n", i.Name.GetFullName(), i.ID, i.Cost)
