dota2api: wrapper and parser

Wrapper and parser in Python created for interacting and getting data easily from Valve's Dota 2 API. It supports Python versions 2.6 to 2.7+, 3.2 to 3.5+ along with PyPy/PyPy3

This library parses some ID's into the dictionary keys like hero_name and so on. See src.parse for details.

This also comes with a growing set of tests and some documentation for the API itself.

Look how easy it is...

>>> import dota2api
>>> api = dota2api.Initialise("API_KEY")
>>> hist = api.get_match_history(account_id=41231571)
>>> match = api.get_match_details(match_id=1000193456)
>>> match['radiant_win']
False

You can even store your API key as an environment variable instead of passing it through Initialise() to save some finger work.

$  export D2_API_KEY=83247983248793298732
