This module is no longer maintained. Pull requests will still be accepted.

Access all information that Riot provides using thier API. This is an extremly simple node module that allows you to gather information from Riot.

Please refer to the Riot Games Official API. Also, please note that when an update occures to a specific API that you are using, it will most likely break. If this happens, please report it on the github repo.

Quick Example

riot.champion.id(
    '21',
    {},
    function(err, data) {
        if (err instanceof Error) {
            console.log("Error 1: " + err);
            return 0;
        }
        else {
            var rankedEnabled = data.rankedPlayEnabled;
            if (rankedEnabled == true){
                console.log('Champion 21 (Miss Fortune) can be played in ranked');
            } else {
                console.log('Champion 21 (Miss Fortune) can not be played in ranked');
            }
        }
    }
)

Configuration

• httpProtocol (string)

Which HTTP protocol to use: http (default) or https

• timeout (integer)

Destroy the request after this number of milliseconds. Default: 30000 (30 sec).

• developerKey (string)

Example:

var riot = require('riot-games-api-nodejs')
riot.developerKey = '1234578-1234-1234-123456789000'

Callbacks

Each method takes a callback function as last parameter. When everything seems alright err is null, otherwise err will be instanceof Error for tracing.

function( err, data ) {
	if( err instanceof Error ) {

	} else {
		console.log( data )
	}
}

Properties:

err.message   : the error message
