vlrdevapi

Python library for VLR.gg Valorant esports data

Documentation · ReadTheDocs · PyPI · GitHub

Access Valorant esports data from VLR.gg with a clean, type-safe Python API. Get tournament info, match schedules, player stats, team data, and series/match-level details.

Features

• Complete Data Access - Events, matches, players, teams, and series
• Type-Safe - Pydantic models with rich type hints and field descriptions
• Production-Ready - Retry logic, rate limiting, and LRU-cached enrichment
• Curried Access - Bind a player/team/series ID once, then call sub-methods without re-passing
• Managed with uv - Fast dependency resolution and virtual environment management

Installation

# Using uv (recommended)
uv add vlrdevapi

# Using pip
pip install vlrdevapi

Requires Python 3.11+

Quick Start

Module-level (no client needed)

import vlrdevapi

# Single-shot fetches via module-level access
info = vlrdevapi.player.info(player_id=11225)
print(f"{info.name} - {info.country}")

series = vlrdevapi.series.info(series_id=542272)
print(f"{series.team1.name} vs {series.team2.name}")

event = vlrdevapi.event.info(event_id=2863)
print(f"{event.name} - {event.subtitle}")

Sync client

from vlrdevapi import VLRClient

with VLRClient() as client:
    # Curried access - bind a player once
    player = client.player(11225)
    print(player.info().name)
    print(player.teams().current_teams)
    print(player.agents(timespan="all").agents[:3])

    # Team data
    team = client.team(1034)
    roster = team.roster()
    placements = team.placements()

    # Event data
    event = client.event(2863)
    stages = event.stages()
    matches = event.matches()

API Modules

Matches

matches = client.matches.upcoming(page=1)
live = client.matches.live()
completed = client.matches.completed(page=1)

Players

p = client.player(11225)
info = p.info()                           # Basic info
teams = p.teams()                         # Current / past teams
agents = p.agents(timespan="60d")         # Agent stats
matches = p.matches(limit=20)             # Match history
profile = p.profile()                     # Consolidated profile

Teams

t = client.team(1034)
info = t.info()                           # Name, tag, socials
roster = t.roster()                       # Players + staff
placements = t.placements()               # Event placements + winnings
transactions = t.transactions()            # Join / leave history
completed = t.completed_matches()          # Completed match results
upcoming = t.upcoming_matches()            # Upcoming match schedule

Events

e = client.event(2863)
info = e.info()                          # Event details
matches = e.matches()                    # Match list
standings = e.standings()                # Standings / prize distribution

Series

s = client.series(542272)
info = s.info()                          # Series overview
vods = s.vods()                          # VOD links
players = s.players(game_id=1)           # Per-game player stats
rounds = s.rounds(game_id=1)             # Round-by-round data
performance = s.performance()            # Advanced performance stats
economy = s.economy(game_id=1)           # Economy data
