Basic implementation of Blitz take home
Usage:
RIOT_API_KEY=<...> mix summoners <player> <region>The Riot API requires an API key.
We don't want that stored in the repo so we access it from the shell environment
via System.get_env("RIOT_API_KEY") in the config/runtime.exs.
Not config/config.exs because that grabs the value at COMPILE time.
The most elegant way to supply this to the HTTP request is as the header: X-Riot-Token.
We want to publish an update to this console every 60 seconds for an hour. We accomplish this by:
:timer.send_interval(60_000, :minute)in the GenServer `init`` function. [reference] (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/46869458/running-a-task-on-a-timer)
The Riot API has two rate limits: 10/second and 200/minute We enforce this using [Hammer] (https://hexdocs.pm/hammer/readme.html).
To find a player to test it on, I hopped on twitch.tv and looked for an active LOL streamer.
Found imaqtpie on the na1 server.
Riot seems to have two different notions of server: one is regional and the other is continental.
Some folk seem to have blank names so substituting <puuid> instead.
