Stats output to text file

[sargonas]

Tri suggestion I pass on to you this idea:

Us streamers love to show stats on our overlay. With the new API on HearthStats.net I could write a simple program that pulls my API data to a text file, and then let my streaming software pull the text from the file into my overlay. However it might be more elegant, long-term, to add this functionality directly into the scanning app to limit moving parts.

Ideally, the uploader could poll the API for data when there is a change, and output all of your stats (or a subset based on selected config settings?) into a text file. Programs like XSplit and OBS can read entire files, or data set between customizable start/stop fields, so ideally each stat should be on it's own line encapsulated between a type container so that you can pick and choose which lines to read into your overlay.

Obviously not a high priority, but a solid feature once the core functionality works.

I like this idea a lot. I'll look into it eventually

Could I get some more information on exactly what is needed and in what format? I'm getting close to putting something like this in place.

Given that the top two streaming applications (OBS and Xsplit) can read in from multiple positions within a plain text file using markers, I would suggest the following based on my own personal needs:

Casual Wins [con] 50-50 (50%) [/con] Ranked Wins [ranked] 50-50 (50%) [/ranked] Arena Wins [arena] 50-100 (30%) [arena] Current Arena [currArena] 6-2 [currArena]

those are the most pertinent stats I can think of at the moment, and the ones I would most want to share. We could in theory do without the first part ("Casual Wins" etc) but it helps make the file human readable so you know what to point to. This format should also be easy to add more as needed.

I think this would be more of a task on my end? The app just has to make a request for new data after each game. On Feb 5, 2014 10:11 PM, "J Eckert" notifications@github.com wrote:

Yes @trigun0x2, I think it would be easiest if you just give me an API call I can make that returns the standard json response with data:[text file output including newlines]

[trigun0x2]

@JeromeDane I'm not sure if I should make it in text form because other applications may also use the API in the future. Chances are I'll return a JSON object which the app will have the process again.

[JeromeDane]

I want JSON returned. :-)

All API requests should definitely return JSON including status and data properties just like give been doing

[trigun0x2]

Sounds good. Actually the current api has some things you can test with right now:

http://beta.hearthstats.net/api/v1/arena_runs/show?userkey=xxxx
http://beta.hearthstats.net/api/v1/arenas/show?userkey=xxx

@trigun0x2 can we close this ? (I'm reviewing quickly all issues ...)

[trigun0x2]

Yea, it doesn't really belong here. It's more of a TwitchBot that needs to be made. Closed.
