General Discussionhow to get dota 2 data?

Dota 2 API only provides basic match stats like who won, who played, what’s their KDA. In order to get more data you will need to parse replay files - this is what Dotabuff Truesight does: https://secure.dotabuff.com/truesight

^ how to get detailed data like TrueSight?

im pretty sure you need to talk to the dotabuff admins about this

I'm guessing they won't share it to me because it's like telling someone their "trade secret"

TRY IT!

Hi there,

We don't do custom data sets because we can't afford to spend developer/server time on requests, and our data is not really built for it. If you want more detailed, truesight data you can always try parsing a few replays on your own. Our parser is open source: https://github.com/dotabuff/yasha
For less detailed match data I recommend just using Valve's APi.

^ I didn't thought that they have this in GitHub,.. this should be cool! Thanks!

np, excited to read your results!

I am profane of programming, i remember this other project to parse replay, don't know how it work or if it's still running.

just want to say big respect whoever build turesight.

Not quite what you were looking for but it would be nice to extract these stats:

- Hero damage breakdown per skill, item & autoattacks
- Total enemy stun time per hero
- Total enemy slow time per hero

These stats are printed into the console at the end of the game so I presume they can be extracted from the replay somehow. I've not looked at the format so I couldn't necessarily tell how easy it would be to do.

@Lawliepop how do I get the raw data? Is it this protobuf dota2demo thing I need to work on?

Basically, I just want to work on raw data sets so I can transfer them to my environment..
At the moment, I'm not really interested in building a full-fledged parsing program

I just want to run some pattern matching algorithms on the mouse clicks :-/
