OpenDota API

API

Free REST API for Dota 2 player stats, match details & global rankings

Overview

The OpenDota API provides RESTful access to Dota 2 data including player stats (win/loss ratios, hero preferences), match details (team compositions, kill feeds, item builds), and global rankings. Endpoints like /players/{account_id}/stats return player performance metrics, while /matches/{match_id} offers granular match data. Responses are in JSON format. Ideal for building stats trackers, esports analysis tools, community platforms, or in-game overlays to enhance engagement with Dota 2’s competitive ecosystem.
