The Public Ovrstat API was shutdown on October 1st 2022 and this project has been archived. Please check out ow-api as a possible alternative.
ovrstat
is a simple web scraper for the Overwatch stats site that parses and serves the data retrieved as JSON. Included is the go package used to scrape the info for usage in any go binary. This is a single endpoint web-scraping API that takes the full payload of information that we retrieve from Blizzard and passes it through to you in a single response. Things like caching and splitting data across multiple responses could likely improve performance, but in pursuit of keeping things simple, ovrstat does not implement them.
To start using ovrstat on your local system, install Go and run go get
:
$ go get github.com/s32x/ovrstat
This will install the ovrstat service on your machine. Running the following will then launch the service.
$ ovrstat
Below is an example of using the REST endpoint (note: CASE matters for the username/tag):
http://localhost:8080/stats/pc/Viz-1213
http://localhost:8080/stats/xbl/Lt%20Evolution
http://localhost:8080/stats/psn/TayuyaBreast
http://localhost:8080/stats/nintendo-switch/Mario-70af1a16ae4913bde139d46edb43df55
package main
import (
"log"
"github.com/s32x/ovrstat/ovrstat"
)
func main() {
log.Println(ovrstat.PCStats("Viz-1213"))
log.Println(ovrstat.ConsoleStats(ovrstat.PlatformXBL, "Lt%20Evolution"))
log.Println(ovrstat.ConsoleStats(ovrstat.PlatformPSN, "TayuyaBreast"))
log.Println(ovrstat.ConsoleStats(ovrstat.PlatformNS, "Mario-70af1a16ae4913bde139d46edb43df55"))
}
