Examples

Basic player lookup

Fetch a player's name, real name, country, and social media handles.

import vlrdevapi

info = vlrdevapi.player.info(player_id=438)
print(f"{info.name} ({info.real_name})")
print(f"Country: {info.country}")
print(f"X: {info.x_handle}")
print(f"Twitch: {info.twitch_handle}")

Check aliases

A player may have played under different names in the past. The aliases field lists all known former names.

import vlrdevapi

info = vlrdevapi.player.info(player_id=438)
aliases = info.aliases if info.aliases else ["(none)"]
print(f"{info.name} has also been known as: {', '.join(aliases)}")

Curried access

Use the curried player object to access info without passing the player ID each time.

import vlrdevapi

player = vlrdevapi.player(438)
info = player.info()
print(f"{info.name} - {info.country_code.upper()}")
