Python tools for Dota 2

Web API client

A thin wrapper around the Dota 2 WebAPI described (http://dev.dota2.com/showthread.php?t=47115)

This uses either the requests library (dota2py/api.py), or Twisted (dota2py/twisted/api.py)

To use the Web API you must have a valid steam API key. You can get one at http://steamcommunity.com/dev/apikey

More information about the API can be found in this thread and in the WebAPI dev forums

WebAPI examples:

Examples code for both the standard and Twisted APIs can be found in the examples folder.

Find the latest match for a player

# Get all the most recent match played by the player 'acidfoo'
account_id = int(api.get_steam_id("acidfoo")["response"]["steamid"])

# Get a list of recent matches for the player
matches = api.get_match_history(account_id=account_id)["result"]["matches"]

# Get the full details for a match
match = api.get_match_details(matches[0]["match_id"])

Replay Parser

This contains a Python port of demoinfo2, but will probably be expanded into more useful tools for Dota 2 replays You will need snappy and Google Protocol Buffers installed

To run the parser either run parser.py or in Linux use the dota2py_parser script

To show a summary of useful information from a replay, run summary.py or dota2py_summary (this functionality is a work in progress)

Installation

Install via pip:

$ pip install dota2py

or, install via easy_install:

$ easy_install dota2py

Running the tests

There are a number of functional tests for the Web API. To run the tests you must set the environment variable DOTA2_API_KEY to your key. In windows:

> set DOTA2_API_KEY=YOUR_KEY_HERE

and in linux:

$ export DOTA2_API_KEY=YOUR_KEY_HERE

Once you have set your API key, the easiest way to run the tests is using nosetests (pip install nose).

To run all the tests:

nosetests dota2py

To run a specific test:

nosetests dota2py.funtests.test_api:ApiTest.test_get_steam_id

To print out debug information you can add the following flags:

-v -s --logging-config=debug_logging.cfg
