SWGoH API client and CLI for Go

This project implements API client and command line interface (CLI) for Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes game. Data is retrieved from third party services provided by other developers:

• https://swgoh.gg/ and https://swgoh.gg/api/
• https://api.swgoh.help

The CLI uses https://api.swgoh.help and the https://crinolo-swgoh.glitch.me/statCalc helper to provide rich information about character, ships and mods.

A basic client for https://swgoh.gg/ (website crawling) and https://swgoh.gg/api/ is also provided. as of now this implementation is not extensivelly tested.

API client for Go lang

The API client for the Go programming language is available using the import

import "github.com/ronoaldo/swgoh/swgohhelp"

CLI

You can use this command line interface to parse your characters, ships, and mods. The data is cached as a JSON file that you can parse and use in other apps. The output to stdout can also be used for several purposes, such as feed data into a spreadsheet.

Install or Download

If you just want to use it, go to the Release Page and download the one for your operating system.

You can also install the tool using the Go toolchain:

go get github.com/ronoaldo/swgoh/cmd/swgoh

To see the full list of available options, run:

swgoh -help

Authentication

For each invocation you need to provide the https://api.swgoh.help credentials. The parameters -u "myuser" and -p "mypass" are mandatory.

Ships list

To list your ships, you can use the following command:

swgoh -u "myuser" -p "mypass" -a "allycode" -ships

The result is a CSV list of your ships, their level, and stars.

Character list

To list your characters, you can use the following command:

swgoh -u "myuser" -p "mypass" -a "allycode" -characters

The result is a CSV list of your characters, their level, stars, and gear level.

Mods

You can use the -mods switch to export all your mods to the standard output formatted as CSV:

swgoh -u "myuser" -p "mypass" -a "allycode" -mods

Character and Arena stats

It is possible to display single character or your arena team statistics using the -stats or -arena switches.

To display statistics from a single character, type:

swgoh -u "myuser" -p "mypass" -a "allycode" -stats -char Tarkin

And to display the current stats of your arena team, use the -arena option. Both character and ship arenas will be shown:

swgoh -u "myuser" -p "mypass" -a "allycode" -arena

Caching

Caching is done for several API consumed files. This serves two pourposes: avoid overloading the API endpoints and gives you a local copy of the JSON files for your parsing needs.

Cached data is stored in $HOME/.config/api.swgoh.help/ folder. You can change the value using the system variable $SWGOH_CACHE_DIR. This folder is created if does not exists.

In that folder, a file gamedata.json holds cached data for several game related info, such as unit names and other info.

The CLI also stores profile data in ALLYCODE.json files in the cache directory.
