Overstat

Forked from Oversmash

API wrapper for Blizzard's Overwatch player stats. Uses promises.

Blizzard does not expose an official API, so this library relies partially on scraping, using cheerio.

Please also keep in mind there is no builtin rate-limiting support, so it's on you to use the library responsibly.

Differences from Oversmash

• Actively maintained (we use this as a core dependency for fireteam.gg)
• No ES Modules, No Babel
• Converted async/await to promises for integration with our core project

Note: See Releases for release details

Features

• Ability to retrieve basic user information, such as name, portrait, level and accounts
  • Correctly identifies the platform and region for each account
• Ability to retrieve detailed stats for a player, for a given region and platform
  • Includes all stats available on playoverwatch.com
  • Includes the player's current competitive rank
  • Includes full list of achievements, with details on which the player has completed
  • Stats are retrieved and grouped automatically per career type (quickplay/competitive), hero, and group (e.g combat, awards, etc)
  • Supports new heroes and new types of stats as they're added, no changes required to the code
• Supports normalizing names and values (e.g converting achievement names to snake_case, properly handling floating-point values in stats, etc)
• Minimalist and straightforward API

Usage

Install through npm:

$ npm install --save Overstat

Example:

import overstat from 'overstat'
 
// Create a new overstat object. `overstat()` accepts an options
// object (see below)
const ow = overstat()
 
// Get basic details about a user, including their platform/region accounts.
//
ow.player('bob-12345').then(player => {
  console.log(player)
})
 
// Output:
// { name: 'bob-12345',
//   accounts:
//    [ { level: 440,
//        portrait: 'https://blzgdapipro-a.akamaihd.net/game/unlocks/xyz.png',
//        displayName: 'bob#12345',
//        platform: 'pc' } ] }
 
// Get detailed stats about a user (for a specific region), including
// achievements unlocked, per-career and per-hero stats, and their
// current competitive rank
ow.playerStats('bob-12345', 'us', 'pc').then(player => {
  console.log(player)
})
