Please add ability upgrades to the API #1489

Open RGBKnights opened 7 years ago

The Ability Upgrade array includes information about timing for ability/level and is something we are very interesting in using.

You can get this data from the Steam WebAPI (GetMatchDetails call) The OpenDota project only stores the ability upgrades themselves (dropping the timing data) in order to save space.

Please reconsider this idea. you have timing information a large array of topics but it sucks having to query another API (the steam API sucks) and join that with yours only to get level up/ability timings.

Will consider it, but even if it's added it will only be available for future matches. Backfilling this data for the 1.4 billion old matches will take months.

Thank you and future forward is completely understandable.
