RiotWatcher v3.1.1

|pypi| |docs| |coverage| |lgmt| |black|

Check for full (read: slightly better) documentation here <http://riot-watcher.readthedocs.io/en/latest/>__!

RiotWatcher is a thin wrapper on top of the Riot Games API for League of Legends <https://developer.riotgames.com/>__. All public methods as of 10/3/2020 are supported in full.

RiotWatcher by default supports a naive rate limiter. This rate limiter will try to stop you from making too many requests, and in a single threaded test environment does this rather well. In a multithreaded environment, you may still get some 429 errors. 429 errors are currently NOT retried for you.

To Start...

To install RiotWatcher:

::

pip install riotwatcher

OR for development/testing, clone and run:

::

pip install -e .[dev]
pre-commit install

You also need to have an API key from Riot. Get that from here <https://developer.riotgames.com/>__.

Using it...

All methods return dictionaries representing the json objects described by the official Riot API. Any HTTP errors that are returned by the API are raised as HTTPError exceptions from the Requests library.

.. code:: python

from riotwatcher import LolWatcher, ApiError

lol_watcher = LolWatcher('<your-api-key>')

my_region = 'na1'

me = lol_watcher.summoner.by_name(my_region, 'pseudonym117')
print(me)

# all objects are returned (by default) as a dict
# lets see if i got diamond yet (i probably didnt)
my_ranked_stats = lol_watcher.league.by_summoner(my_region, me['id'])
print(my_ranked_stats)

# First we get the latest version of the game from data dragon
versions = lol_watcher.data_dragon.versions_for_region(my_region)
champions_version = versions['n']['champion']

# Lets get some champions
current_champ_list = lol_watcher.data_dragon.champions(champions_version)
print(current_champ_list)

# For Riot's API, the 404 status code indicates that the requested data wasn't found and
# should be expected to occur in normal operation, as in the case of a an
# invalid summoner name, match ID, etc.
#
# The 429 status code indicates that the user has sent too many requests
# in a given amount of time ("rate limiting").

try:
    response = lol_watcher.summoner.by_name(my_region, 'this_is_probably_not_anyones_summoner_name')
except ApiError as err:
    if err.response.status_code == 429:
        print('We should retry in {} seconds.'.format(err.response.headers['Retry-After']))
        print('this retry-after is handled by default by the RiotWatcher library')
        print('future requests wait until the retry-after time passes')
    elif err.response.status_code == 404:
        print('Summoner with that ridiculous name not found.')
    else:
        raise

Use with kernel

RiotWatcher can integrate with the API proxy/caching server kernel <https://github.com/meraki-analytics/kernel/>__. This can be done by providing the kernel_url parameter to the LolWatcher constructor.

.. code:: python

from riotwatcher import LolWatcher, ApiError

lol_watcher = LolWatcher(kernel_url="https://your-kernel-instance") # should not contain trailing slash
# use watcher as normal

Testing

Unit tests can be run with the following command from the RiotWatcher folder:

::

tox

Known Issues

Rate limiter has some race conditions when used concurrently.

Changelog

Add support for Valorant recent match API.

Add support for LoR MatchAPI. 

v3.1.0 - 9/1/2020

Add support for Clash API's

Add support for generic Riot APIs through riotwatcher.RiotWatcher class (note: old deprecated class has been repurposed - you have been warned)

Add support for valorant APIs

Cleaned up documentation. Quite a bit.

v3.0.0 - 3/3/2020

LoR APIs added through riotwatcher.LorWatcher class.

TFT APIs added through riotwatcher.TftWatcher class.

Added support for LoR APIs through riotwatcher.LorWatcher class.

No more python 2 support. Finally. If you need support for python 2, please use v2.7.1.
Also Python 3.5 is no longer supported. Please use 3.6 or newer.

riotwatcher.RiotWatcher class has been deprecated - It has been renamed to LolWatcher.
The riotwatcher.RiotWatcher class has been maintained for backwards compatibility, but
will not exist forever.

custom_handler_chain parameter for LolWatcher (previously RiotWatcher) no longer exists. 
It has been replaced with the parameters rate_limiter, deserializer, and error_handler.
This is part of the goal to decouple riotwatcher's external APIs from requests.

Removed long-deprecated classes.

Fixed issue with using kernel on regions other than NA.

v2.7.0 - 7/30/2019

General cleanup

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Removed deprecated v3 endpoints

Add support for league v4 entry/by-summoner and entry/queue/tier/division endpoints


Added warning log when deprecated endpoint is used

Added support for timeout parameter. Example:

.. code:: python

    from riotwatcher import RiotWatcher, TimeoutError
    
    watcher = RiotWatcher('<your-api-key>', timeout=2.5) # timeout is in seconds
    try:
        watcher.summoner.by_name('na1', 'pseudonym117')
    except TimeoutError:
        print('timed out getting summoner')

v2.5.0 - 1/7/2019
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

version and locale directly as parameters. Should instead use URL. This API is undocumented,
but technically broken by some ddragon related changes.

python version supported.

Moved source into src folder.

Added integration tests.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

fixed issue with __init__.py not importing the correct packages

v1.2.4 - 2/13/2015
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Added current-game-v1.0 and featured-games-v1.0 api's

v1.2.3 - 12/31/2014

Fixed bug/undocumented feature when getting a single summoner with space in the name. Also added static method RiotWatcher.sanitize_name(name) for stripping special characters from summoner names.

v1.2.2 - 12/22/2014

Tiny changes, function signature of get\_summoner changed, to get by ID
the keyword is now ``_id``, not ``id``, tests updated to reflect this

Some game constants updated, if anyone has actually been using them.

v1.2.1 - 10/14/2014

Add lol-status API. not a huge thing but i had time to do it.

v1.2 - 9/4/2014

Added Match and MatchHistory APIs! Also are somewhat tested, but query
parameters are not tested.

Added some new constants. Probably not useful, but who knows. Maybe
someone will want them.

Some code changed to look slightly nicer too.

v1.1.8 - 9/4/2014

Updated APIs supported. Updated APIs:

• league-v2.5
• team-v2.4

Don't worry, support for match data is coming. I just wanted to commit these changes first, since they already had tests.

v1.1.7 - 8/10/2014

Fixed issue #4 (forgot to change a number, oops) and made it much much
less likely for me to do it again (moved api version part of url into a
different method just to be sure I don't mess it up).

Also there are now TESTS!! WOO! Everyone rejoice. They aren't very good
tests though, so don't be too excited. BUT if they should detect if
there's a clear issue in the API wrapper.

Oh and some better formatting done (spaces not tabs, more consistent
indentation, etc.). Should be no functional difference at all.

v1.1.6 - 6/19/2014

Added support for regional proxies, because EUW broke without it

v1.1.5 - 5/9/2014

Cause what do version numbers really mean anyways?

Actually add endpoints to league API that I just forgot to add. Change
is NOT backwards compatible, any use of the old league api calls will
need to be changed, in addition to the riot changes.

Newly supported API's: - league-v2.4 - team-v2.3

v1.1.1 - 5/3/2014

Fix issue with static calls, namely that they didn't do anything right before. Now they work.

v1.1 - 4/29/2014

Updated to latest API versions, now supported API's are:

-  champion-v1.2
-  game-v1.3
-  league-v2.3
-  lol-static-data-v1.2
-  stats-v1.3
-  summoner-v1.4
-  team-v2.2

Changes are NOT backwards compatible, you will need to update any code
that used an old API version. Check `Riots
documentation <https://developer.riotgames.com/change-history>`__ for
more information on what changes were made

v1.0.2 - 2/25/2014

Added Riots new methods to get teams by id. In methods 'get_teams(team_ids, region)' and 'get_team(team_id, region)'.
