It is python wrapper for League of Legends api that watch out to not exceed rate limit.

Tested on python 3.5

Full api documentation: link

Package is available on PyPI so just use:

pip install lol_api

or to install from source:

git clone https://github.com/gradam/lol_api.git

python setup.py test

python setup.py install

First you need to set up few thing. To do so import settings.

from lol_api.settings import settings
settings.API_KEY = 'your_api_key'
# If you do not wont to pass region to each api call just do:
settings.REGION_DEFAULT = 'some_region'
# Now if you are going to use watcher daemon you have to pass server info:
settings.DAEMON_SERVER = ('server_ip', port)
# If you prefer to use local watcher instance
settings.initialize_watcher()

from lol_api.settings import settings
from lol_api.api.champion import champion

settings.API_KEY = 'mysecretapikey123'
settings.REGION_DEFAULT = 'eune'
settings.initialie_watcher(production=True)

data = champion(champion_id=2)

To use Daemon for watching request count run him in another python instance.

from lol_api.daemon import ApiDaemon
daemon = ApiDaemon()
daemon.run()

Additional arguments:

• port - Port to run on. Default(8877)
• host - Host for socketserver.ThreadingTCPServer. Default('localhost')
• production - set requests limit for production limits. Default(False)
• unlimited - do not count requests. Default(False)
• log - printout information about inquiry. Default(True)

To specify the region pass region='your_region' as the argument to method, if not specified region_default passed to Client will be used.

If lol api accept optional arguments, it should be pass as a keyword named exactly as expected by api. eg.

lol_api.api.lol_static_data.champion(champData='all')

• error_codes - Explain error codes that you can get from requests
• regions - map region names to shortcuts
• platforms - map region shortcuts to platform name
• queue_types - map queue names to short descriptions
• api_versions - map APIs to versions

Wrapper automatically watch to not exceed requests rate limit per region. Default value is 10 per 10 seconds and 500 per 10 minutes. This is default limit for non production keys. Id order to use production limit ( 3000 per 10 seconds and 180000 per 10 minutes ) set PRODUCTION to True in settings.

lol_api.settings.settings.PRODUCTION = True

You can also turn this off by setting UNLIMITED=True.

If Rate limit is exceeded ``lol_api.exceptions.RateLimitExceededError`` will be raised.

Requirements for tests are in tests_requirements.txt file.

To run tests:

pip install -r tests_requirements.txt

py.test

or run:

python setup.py test

• Better documentation
• Add possibility to cache responses
• Add inplace translation champion name to id
• Queue for requests when limit exceeded
