In ekholme/rdota: Functions to Get and Clean Data from the OpenDota API

rdota

rdota provides an interface to query the OpenDota API using R and return the data in a tidy format.

Installation

You can install rdota using:

remotes::install_github("ekholme/rdota")

Get Functions

rdota provides several functions to query the OpenDota API and return the data in a tidy format. Currently, the following functions are implemented:

• get_match()
• get_parsed_matches()
• get_player_account()
• get_player_recent_matches()
• get_pro_matches()
• get_public_matches()

Pull Functions

Although the get_*() family of functions do their best to return data as tidy as possible, some objects – primarily get_match() – will still return deeply nested data. The pull_*() family of functions are meant to help extract specific data elements from these objects. Currently, these functions include:

• pull_player_final_items()
• pull_player_heroes()
• pull_player_kda()
• pull_player_purchase_log()

Misc Functions

The retrieve_steam32_id() provides an easy way for users to find their Steam32 ID, which is required for any query involving a player id.

Constants

In addition to providing functions to query the OpenDota API, rdota also directly provides some game data that is relatively constant over time. These built-in datasets provide data on heroes, items, and abilities. They can be found in the following files:

• heroes,
• items,
• abilities,
• ability_ids, and
• item_ids
