OpenDota API

API

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

Overview

The OpenDota API offers RESTful endpoints to access comprehensive Dota 2 data, including player statistics (win/loss ratios, hero performance), match details (team compositions, item builds, timeline events), and global/regional rankings. Responses are in JSON format. Key endpoints include /players/{account_id} for player profiles, /matches/{match_id} for match breakdowns, and /rankings for leaderboards. Use cases include building stat trackers, match analysis tools, or integrating Dota 2 data into fan sites. It leverages Valve’s official API and community data to ensure accuracy.
