I'm Jack J and I'm the Founder & Lead Data Scientist for iTero Gaming. I've written an introduction the Riot API which I've been using for over 5 years, with sections such as:
- Getting set-up
- Your first API call
- Gathering Data
- Adding Arguments
- Dealing with Rate Limits
By the end of the guide you should be able to successfully build a script to takes any Summoner Name and print out information about their 100 most recent solo queue games, such as most kills in a game or best KDA on a champion.
If you haven't yet got Jupyter Notebooks (Python) to run the code, you can download it from here: https://www.anaconda.com/products/distribution
NOTE: the notebook was built on Python 3.9, but given the simplicity it should be OK with most 3.X versions.
