Chicken Dinner

Python PUBG JSON API Wrapper and (optional) playback visualizer.

Also includes basic CLI functionality for replays, leaderboards, stats, and updating assets.

Samples

Installation

To install chicken-dinner, use pip. This will install the core dependencies which provide functionality to the API wrapper and CLI.

pip install chicken-dinner

To use the playback visualizations you will need to install the library with extra dependencies for plotting (matplotlib and pillow). For this you can also use pip:

pip install chicken-dinner[visual]

To generate the animations you will also need ffmpeg installed on your machine. On Max OSX you can install ffmpeg using brew.

brew install ffmpeg

You can install ffmpeg on other systems from here.

Usage

Working with the low-level API class.

from chicken_dinner.pubgapi import PUBGCore

api_key = "your_api_key"
pubgcore = PUBGCore(api_key, "pc-na")
shroud = pubgcore.players("player_names", "shroud")
print(shroud)

# {'data': [{'type': 'player', 'id': 'account.d50f...

Working with the high-level API class.

from chicken_dinner.pubgapi import PUBG

api_key = "your_api_key"
pubg = PUBG(api_key, "pc-na")
shroud = pubg.players_from_names("shroud")[0]
shroud_season = shroud.get_current_season()
squad_fpp_stats = shroud_season.game_mode_stats("squad", "fpp")
print(squad_fpp_stats)

# {'assists': 136, 'boosts': 313, 'dbnos': 550, 'daily_kills':...

Visualizing telemetry data

from chicken_dinner.pubgapi import PUBG

api_key = "your_api_key"
pubg = PUBG(api_key, "pc-na")
shroud = pubg.players_from_names("shroud")[0]
recent_match_id = shroud.match_ids[0]
recent_match = pubg.match(recent_match_id)
recent_match_telemetry = recent_match.get_telemetry()
recent_match_telemetry.playback_animation("recent_match.html")

Recommended playback settings:

telemetry.playback_animation(
    "match.html",
    zoom=True,
    labels=True,
    label_players=[],
    highlight_winner=True,
    label_highlights=True,
    size=6,
    end_frames=60,
    use_hi_res=False,
    color_teams=True,
    interpolate=True,
    damage=True,
    interval=2,
    fps=30,
)

See the documentation for more details.

CLI

For CLI commands using the PUBG API, an API Key is required. You may provide the API key via an environment variable named PUBG_API_KEY or with the CLI option --api-key

export PUBG_API_KEY=your_pubg_api_key
chicken-dinner [command] --shard=steam ...

chicken-dinner [command] --api-key=your_pubg_api_key --shard=steam ...

A shard is optional, but the default shard is steam.

Assets

To update local assets, including hi-res maps and asset dictionaries:

chicken-dinner assets

Leaderboards

Display the leaderboards for a game mode (shard default is steam):

chicken-dinner leaderboard --shard=steam solo-fpp

Player Stats

Display player stats for lifetime or the current season (shard default is steam):

# Get the lifetime stats for chocoTaco in solo-fpp
chicken-dinner stats --shard=steam --lifetime --group=solo --perspective=fpp chocoTaco

# Get the latest season stats for chocoTaco in solo-fpp
chicken-dinner stats -g solo -p fpp chocoTaco

Replays

Generate html5 replays for matches (shard default is steam):

# Generate a replay for the latest win of chocoTaco in specified path
chicken-dinner replay --latest --wins-only --size=6 --path=/path/to/my/replays chocoTaco

# Generate a replay for the latest game of chocoTaco
chicken-dinner replay -l chocoTaco

# Generate a replay for all of chocoTaco's wins in recent games
chicken-dinner replay -w chocoTaco

# Generate a replay for all of the recent games of chocoTaco
chicken-dinner replay chocoTaco

Telemetry events and objects are generic class wrappers. They are constructed when the Telemetry instance is created. This makes them telemetry version-agnostic, but requires some work to inspect their contents and structure. The TelemetryEvent and TelemetryObject classes also transform the payload keys to snake_case.

TelemetryEvents are containers for event key-values and structures which contain a hierarchy of TelemetryObjects.

Telemetry Events

# Get all TelemetryEvents as a list
events = telemetry.events

# Get one of the events
event = events[0]

event.event_type
# log_match_definition

event.timestamp
# '2019-08-18T00:29:00.0807375Z'

# {'_D': '2019-08-18T00:29:00.0807375Z', '_T': 'LogMatchDefinition', 'match_id': 'match.bro.official.pc-2018-04.steam.duo-fpp.na.2019.08.18.00.e0b3cb15-929f-4b42-8873-68a8f9998d2b', 'ping_quality': 'low', 'season_state': 'progress'}

print(event.dumps())
# {
#     "_D": "2019-08-18T00:29:00.0807375Z",
#     "_T": "LogMatchDefinition",
#     "match_id": "match.bro.official.pc-2018-04.steam.duo-fpp.na.2019.08.18.00.e0b3cb15-929f-4b42-8873-68a8f9998d2b",
#     "ping_quality": "low",
#     "season_state": "progress"
# }

# Each event key can be grabbed as an attribute or key
event.ping_quality
# low

event["ping_quality"]
# low

TelemetryObjects refer to entities such as players, items, locations, vehicles, etc. Each TelemetryObject contains a reference attribute which is the key in the parent TelemetryEvent or TelemetryObject that refers to this TelemetryObject.
