A python interface for <OPENDOTA/> API

The :code:`OpenDota` class provided with the package serves as a python
interface for the original OpenDota API in the form of a thin wrapper.
The class assumes some familiarity with the OpenDota API.

All method calls return serializable python objects, as return by the API,
in most cases a dict or a list. Response data is stored as JSON in a local
directory (Default: :code:`~/dota2`), to prevent the load on OpenDota API.


* Free software: MIT license
* Documentation: https://pyopendota.readthedocs.io.


Features
========

* Transparent wrapper for majority of the API calls
* Ability to authenticate using API key
* In-built and cusomizable limit to protect against frequent API calls
* Local file-based storage for frequent requests
* Basic CLI using :code:`fire`

Usage
=====

Use <OPENDOTA/> API in a project
--------------------------------

.. code-block:: python

    import opendota

    # Initialize the API-connection object
    client = opendota.OpenDota()

Get Common Entities
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.. code-block:: python

    client.get_matches('match-id')
    client.get_player('player-id')
    client.get_team('team-id')

Search Functionality
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.. code-block:: python

    players = client.search_player('Dendi')
    teams = client.search_team('Alliance')
    heroes = client.search_hero('Crystal')
    leagues = client.search_league('International')

PostgreSQL Query
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

OpenDota API supports arbitrary PostgreSQL query.

Check Database Schema:

.. code-block:: python

    client.get_schema()           # Lists all tables
    client.get_schema('matches')  # Lists schema for a specific table

Arbitrary PostgreSQL Query:

.. code-block:: python

    client.explorer("select * from matches where limit 1")
