The goal of wowr is to provide functions to interact with the World of Warcraft API.
You can install wowr from Github with:
remotes::install_github("tutuchan/wowr")In order to use the functions in wowr, you need to:
- own a Blizzard account (or create a new one),
- add a Blizzard authenticator (if you don’t have one already),
- create a client on the developer portal and retrieve your client id and secret. These steps are explained in the Blizzard documentation.
These values can be passed to the wow_auth() function or, for
convenience, stored in your .Rprofile as the BLIZZARD_CLIENT_ID and
BLIZZARD_CLIENT_SECRET environment variables.
The wow_auth() function returns an authentication token that can be
passed to subsequent functions.
library(wowr)
token <- wow_auth(region = "EU")
wow_realms(token = token)

don’t provide a token, wowr will check if there is a cached token and
if there is, if it’s still valid. It is recommended to provide the token
as checking the validity requires a call to the Blizzard API every time.
