v2.0.1

• Quick fix to make the daysSinceLastMatch value more accurate after talking with the API dev

v2.0.0

• Moving to becoming a wrapper for OpenDota's new API
  • This means all prior versions of node-dota-api will no longer work
• mostPlayed and recentGame values currently not accessible (will be re-added soon!)

nodeDotaApi.playerStats(playerID, callback)

Takes a PlayerID value as a string or integer, passes back a playerInfo JSON object through the callback with the following format:

{
    "status": "",
    "daysSinceLastMatch": "",
    "soloMMR": "",
    "partyMMR": "",
    "estMMR": "",
    "name": "",
    "winLoss": {
        "wins": "",
        "losses": "",
        "winrate": "",
        "totalGames": ""
    },
    "mostPlayed": [
        // CURRENTLY DISABLED IN 2.0.0
    ],
    "recentGames": [
        // CURRENTLY DISABLED IN 2.0.0
    ],
    "profileURL": "",
    "profileImage": "",
    "isPrime" : BOOLEAN or "No apiKey provided"
};

Status Reports

If the user is valid, but their profile shows less than 20 games, the status will return as "Partial Match History". This is likely due to match history not being shown, or an extremely new account.

If the user is valid, but their profile's last parsed game is over 14 days ago, the status will return as "Outdated Match History".

If the user has NO match history at all, the status will return as "No Match History/Invalid Account", as either are possible (invalid ID number, or no exposed data).

If there an invalid value passed in, status will return as "Invalid".

If it is a server error, status will return as "Error".

Prime Check sees if a ranked game was played after timestamp "1493948227" (roughly around when the prime update went live).
