InsightsGG 0.7.5

The unofficial api for Insights.gg

InsightsGG

This is the unofficial python API for Insights.gg The API is written around the idea that you do have an account with the site that has PRO access, and are using this API for Overwatch. If you're looking to pull stats from smash, I'm sorry but I haven't dove into that section yet, but if you want me to, feel free to contact me C:

Credits

All of the code is being written currently by Aud (with some fixes/additions by Aplox), who is currently pursuing a career in esports coaching, and works in the OW Collegiate scene and does pick up coaching.

A lot of the API guidance has been from HSL's Aplox and HSL's Josh. Huge thanks to those two, who came to me looking to pump out this API for the entire scene. They've been here every step of the way and have offered so much guidance.

As for the API itself, while written all by Aud, there has been massive help from Norapuro at insights for answering the THOUSANDS of questions I've had about the program as a whole.

If you have any questions at all feel free to hit the HSL boys or I up:

Before you get started

Basic install

First off you'll need python which can be aqquired through apt (for debian linux users) or Here After that you'll need to install the API via the pip system by going into your terminal and running python3 -m pip install insightsGG or py -m pip install insightsGG if you're on windows

Python Requirements

The only library you'll need is requests, which can be pip installed by python3 -m pip install requests on Linux, or py -m pip install requests on windows Note this should install when you install the lib via pip, but if you are manually installing you'll need to hand install the dependencies

Login Requirements

All of the examples can be ran by inputting your username and password as parameters, for example: python3 filename.py [e-mail] OkBoomer, where [e-mail] is the your login email, and OkBoomer is your login password.

The examples also have the ability to use a login.json structure to prevent committing usernames and passwords. If you wish to run an example through this login structure either: create a file in the same directory as the program named login.json and populate it with the following data

  {
    "username" : "[e-mail]",
    "password" : "yourinsightspassword"
  }

or

Modify the example files and hand input your login information into the Login function.

All of code can be found in /Examples, if you want to see how we're using the API, take a gander at those
