Kez

A Rust crate for interacting with Valve's Dota 2 Web API. Named after the newest hero added to Dota 2 as of this crate's creation date (2025-01-09).

Motivation

Existing Rust crates like dota2_api and dota2_webapi_bindings are no longer active maintained and lack support for newer API features. While building a Dota 2 match finder, I needed an API they didn't provide, so I created Kez.

Supported APIs

• get_match_history_by_seq_num: Fetch up to 100 sequential matches. Ideal for bulk data collection.
• get_match_history: Search for matches by player, hero, or other criteria (limited filtering support).
• get_heroes: Retrieve metadata for all heroes.
• history: This is a thin wrapper around get_match_history_by_seq_num, which returns a list of Matches with more detailed information.

TODOs

• add more dota2 related types, LobbyType/GameMode/Item/...
• add more APIs? GetTopLiveGame?
• add more documents and comments about varies fields of response
• other things...

Disclaim

Don't use this crate for anything serious, it is fundamentally unstable since every game update could potentially break this crate.
