How to get champion ID by Name ?

[elreco]

Hello!

Is there a way to get a champion ID with a given name?

Thank you!

I found a solution,

$champions = DataDragonAPI::getStaticChampions();
foreach($champions['data'] as $c){
    if(strcasecmp($c['name'], $champion) == 0){
     $champion = intval($c['key']);
  }
}

Hello @elreco, I'm sorry for responding so late 😞 There are also dedicated functions in DataDragonAPI for finding champions by their keys/IDs (not their actual names, e.g.: Annie, Wukong, …, you have solved that correctly):

• For champion string names (e.g.: Annie, MonkeyKing, …) you can use DataDragonAPI::getStaticChampionById($champion_name) (this isn't mistake, it really is Id.)
• For champion integer IDs you can use DataDragonAPI::getStaticChampionByKey($champion_id) (this isn't mistake, it really is Key.)

Then you can easily access all their attributes - name, key, id, …
