Errors

You can check on the property .errors to determine if a response has errored and the subsequent message that follows. .debug will provide request and header information.

Example

{ errors: true,
  messages: 'The specified object could not be found.',
  region: 'na',
  debug:
   { url: 'https://api.dc01.gamelockerapp.com/shards/na/matches?page[offset]=0&page[limit]=50&sort=createdAt&filter[createdAt-start]=2017-03-02T00:28:32.721Z&filter[createdAt-end]=2017-03-02T03:28:32.721Z&filter[playerNames]=&filter[teamNames]=',
     status: 'https://api.dc01.gamelockerapp.com/status',
     headers:
      { 'Content-Encoding': 'gzip',
        'Content-Type': 'application/json',
        'User-Agent': 'js/vainglory',
        Accept: 'application/vnd.api+json',
        Authorization: 'Bearer aaa.bbb.ccc',
        'X-TITLE-ID': 'semc-vainglory' 
      } 
    } 
  },
  rateLimit:
    { limit: '10',
      remaining: '9',
      reset: '6000000000',
      requestId: 'some-arbitrary-id' } 
    }

Rate Limits

Rate limit information is attached to every request. All models will return .rateLimit, see the Reference for more information or if you need to increase your rate limit.

  rateLimit:
    { limit: '10',
      remaining: '9',
      reset: '6000000000',
      requestId: 'some-arbitrary-id' } 
    }

Telemetry

Telemetry data can be retrieved from the match model under assets. Assets is an array of asset.

Example

const matchId = 'f5373c40-0aa9-11e7-bcff-0667892d829e';
vainglory.matches.single(matchId).then((match) => {
  console.log(match.assets) // array of asset
}).catch((err) => console.error(err));

.resolve()

If you would like to resolve telemetry data, you can call .resolve() directly on the asset. Note that this currently returns the raw data that is associated with .URL.

const matchId = 'f5373c40-0aa9-11e7-bcff-0667892d829e';
vainglory.matches.single(matchId).then(async (match) => {
  const telemetry = await match.assets[0].resolve();
  console.log(telemetry);
}).catch((err) => console.error(err));

Status

vainglory.status

Returns API meta information.

vainglory.status().then((info) => console.log(info));

Example Response

{ 
  id: 'gamelocker', // From server
  releasedAt: '2017-02-24T20:44:05Z', // From server
  version: 'gamelockerd-v4.0.2', // From server
  clientVersion: '0.8.1' // From VaingloryJS
}

vainglory.players... // data from the region that was initialized (defaults to na)

setRegion

vainglory.setRegion

Tournament

vainglory.tournament

}).catch((err) => console.log(err));
 
// Or referencing Players
const playerNames = ['SOMEONE','SOMEONE_ELSE'];
 
vainglory.tournament.region('na').players.getByName(playerNames).then((players) => {
  console.log(players);
}).catch((err) => console.log(err));

Models

All results are wrapped with its respective data model.

  • .type - Returns the type of data requested
  • .id - Returns associated ID
  • .raw - Returns raw data from server

Remapped items vs server names

For fields in participant such as actor or itemGrants, server will return *1000_Item_HalcyonPotion*. The client will return Halcyon Potion automatically based on field mappings. If you would like the original response, instead of calling .stats directly, use ._stats or ._actor instead of .actor.
