Quick Tutorial

First, install the valaw module. See Installation for directions. After you have installed valaw, you can import it into your project:

import valaw
import asyncio

Then, initialize the client with your API token and the cluster closest to you:

client = valaw.Client("Riot_API_Token", "americas")

Note

Before you can use the client, you will need a Riot Games API token. If you don’t already have one, follow Getting a Riot API Token to get one.

After you have initialized the client, you can use it to make requests to the API. For example, to get the content for the na region:

async def main():
    content_data = await client.GET_getContent("na", "en-US")
    await client.close()

asyncio.run(main())

Note

All API methods are async and must be called inside an async function. Always call client.close() when you are done to cleanly shut down the session.

A full working example:

import valaw
import asyncio

async def main():
    client = valaw.Client("Riot_API_Token", "americas")
    try:
        content_data = await client.GET_getContent("na", "en-US")
        print(content_data)
    finally:
        await client.close()

asyncio.run(main())

Raw Request Data

If you want to get the raw JSON data instead of a typed object, pass raw_data=True:

client = valaw.Client("Riot_API_Token", "americas", raw_data=True)

This will return the raw response as a dictionary instead of a typed object.
