lol_monitor

Powerful tool for real-time monitoring of LoL (League of Legends) players' activities.

🚀 Quick Install & Run

New to Python or unsure what is installed? Follow the Python install walkthrough first.

Install from PyPI:

pip install lol_monitor

Run the setup wizard:

lol_monitor --setup

The wizard asks for the Riot ID and region, the Riot API key and optional notifications. Review the settings before saving them. See Setup & First Run for how to get the Riot API key and the region codes.

For the manual single-file method, optional dependencies and upgrade commands, see Installation.

⚙️ Setup and Configuration

Common Commands

Use Quick Install & Run above for first-time setup. The table uses PyPI commands. For the manual script equivalents, see Run Individual Commands.

Replace the target placeholders with a Riot ID such as "Player#TAG" plus a region code such as euw1. Monitoring requires the Riot API key described in the setup guide.

Running the tool with no arguments offers the wizard if you have not saved a player. If a player is already saved, it starts monitoring that player.

The tool runs until interrupted (Ctrl+C). Use tmux or screen for persistence and run multiple copies to monitor several players.

For the API key, region codes, saved players and notification setup, see the full Setup & First Run guide.

For email and webhook setup, see Configuration. For notification choices, listing commands and output files, see Usage.

If a run fails, start with Doctor Preflight.
