APIFree Dota 2 API for player stats, match details, and rankings
Overview
The Dota 2 API (powered by OpenDota) offers RESTful endpoints to access comprehensive Dota 2 data, including player stats (win rates, hero preferences), match details (team compositions, kill feeds, item builds), and global rankings. Responses are JSON-formatted. Key endpoints include /players/{id}/stats (player performance metrics), /matches/{id} (detailed match breakdown), and /rankings (leaderboards by region/hero). Use cases: Build custom stat trackers for players, analyze esports strategies, create community dashboards, or integrate into apps to monitor progress. It leverages Valve’s public data and community contributions for accurate, up-to-date information.
