dota is a Ruby client for the Dota 2 WebAPI.

Requests

Valve provides a GetSupportedAPIList endpoint that returns all the available endpoints in their API you can use, along with the parameters they accept. The following are supported by dota:

  • GetLeagueListing
  • GetMatchDetails
  • GetMatchHistory
  • GetFriendList
  • GetHeroes
  • GetGameItems
  • GetRarities
  • GetTeamInfoByTeamID
  • GetLiveLeagueGames
  • GetScheduledLeagueGames

Unsupported endpoints (including GetSupportedAPIList) can still be queried via custom requests using Dota.api.get.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'dota'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install dota

Usage

Get your Steam API key here and make sure the gem is configured to use it. If you're using Rails, this might go in an initializer like config/initializers/dota.rb.

Dota.configure do |config|
  config.api_key = ENV.fetch("STEAM_API_KEY")

  # Set API version (defaults to "v1")
  # config.api_version = "v1"
end

Then use the client:

api = Dota.api

api.heroes(43)                   # => (Cached) A single hero - "Death Prophet"
api.heroes                       # => (Cached) All heroes

api.friends(76561198052976237)   # => All friends of user

Custom Requests

For the unsupported endpoints, you can use api.get. For example, the following code is similar to api.matches(789645621) except it will return the raw JSON payload instead of an array of Dota::Matches.

api.get("IDOTA2Match_570", "GetMatchDetails", match_id: 789645621)

Setting api_version here also overrides the current configuration:

api.get("IDOTA2Match_570", "GetMatchDetails", match_id: 789645621, api_version: "v1")

Matches

Caveat: Getting a list of matches via api.matches will call GetMatchHistory which has very few attributes for the matches returned (obviously for performance reasons), as opposed to getting info about a particular match via api.matches(id) which will instead call GetMatchDetails. In both cases, the matches returned will be instances of Dota::API::Match. In the future, there will be subclasses to distinguish the two.

When an instance method in a Dota::API::Match class returns nil, it most likely means the endpoint called doesn't provide it yet.
