This server is a simple way to get read-only information about players and heroes in Overwatch.
A live version runs on https://owapi.net.
OWAPI has a very simple RESTful API to get information.
As the API is read-only, the only method required is GET
.
See the doc for more information.
OWAPI has a few requirements:
- A Python version >3.5
- Probably a Linux-based server; I don't know about the viability of running it on Windows.
Installation steps:
-
Clone the repository.
git clone https://github.com/SunDwarf/OWAPI.git
-
Create a new virtual environment.
python3.5 -m venv ./venv
-
Setup a Redis server.
Redis should be running on the default port - 6379. You can override this in config.yml; however.
Redis is used for caching lots of data so that there's not a 10 second delay on EVERY request as the data is fetched and scraped; it is essential.For Debian/Ubuntu, you can install one with:
sudo apt install redis-server
You can enable it with:
sudo systemctl enable redis-server && sudo systemctl start redis-server
. -
Install the requirements.
For debian-based systems:
sudo apt install libxslt-dev python3-dev build-essential
source ./venv/activate && pip install -r requirements.txt
-
Start the OWAPI server.
PYTHONPATH=. asphalt run config.yml
Note: If you want the full speedups from Kyoukai you must run with uvloop enabled:
PYTHONPATH=. asphalt run -l uvloop config.yml
