APIs and Outside Sources

fspencer77 · July 7, 2022, 10:16pm

I am barely a novice coder, but is there some good documentation that could walk me through pulling API data from an API source, select/manipulate/display it?

I want to pull data from League of Legends to display either last game or current game info, even if only my character name and K/D/A. Along with the character portrait. I have worked with it before in python, and pretty sure they have all the data I would need in their API.

Any thing helps! Thanks!

Heres an incredibly simple example of pulling info from the us treasury and displaying it

github.com

AmillionAirs/Pixlet-Apps/blob/main/US_Treasury.star

load("render.star", "render")
load("http.star", "http")
load("encoding/json.star", "json")

NUMBERS_URL = "https://api.fiscaldata.treasury.gov/services/api/fiscal_service/v2/accounting/od/debt_to_penny?sort=-record_date&format=json&page[number]=1&page[size]=1"
GOLD_URL = "https://api.fiscaldata.treasury.gov/services/api/fiscal_service/v2/accounting/od/gold_reserve?sort=-record_date&format=json&page[number]=1&page[size]=5"

def main(config):

    PB_NUMS = http.get(NUMBERS_URL).json()["data"][0]["tot_pub_debt_out_amt"]
    GOLD_LOC = http.get(GOLD_URL).json()["data"][0]["location_desc"]
    GOLD_AMT = http.get(GOLD_URL).json()["data"][0]["book_value_amt"]


    return render.Root(
        child = render.Column(
            children = [
                render.Text(str(GOLD_LOC), font="tom-thumb"),
                render.Text(str(GOLD_AMT), font="tom-thumb"),
            ],
