New 2019 Maps are not stored in API
When trying to call new maps introduced in the 2019 season, the map name is not recorded. Here is the code I used to collect data from the API.
`matches = requests.get("https://api.overwatchleague.com/matches/21341") m = json.loads(matches.text) #Getting Match Data def get_match_data(m): try: map_1_name = m["games"][0]["attributes"]["map"] except KeyError: map_1_name = "None" map_1_type = MAP_TYPE.get(map_1_name) map_1_away_points = m["games"][0]["points"][0] map_1_home_points = m["games"][0]["points"][1]
try:
map_2_name = m["games"][1]["attributes"]["map"]
except KeyError:
map_2_name = "None"
map_2_type = MAP_TYPE.get(map_2_name)
map_2_away_points = m["games"][1]["points"][0]
map_2_home_points = m["games"][1]["points"][1]
try:
map_3_name = m["games"][2]["attributes"]["map"]
except KeyError:
map_3_name = "None"
map_3_type = MAP_TYPE.get(map_3_name)
map_3_away_points = m["games"][2]["points"][0]
map_3_home_points = m["games"][2]["points"][1]
try:
map_4_name = m["games"][3]["attributes"]["map"]
except KeyError:
map_4_name = "None"
map_4_type = MAP_TYPE.get(map_4_name)
map_4_away_points = m["games"][3]["points"][0]
map_4_home_points = m["games"][3]["points"][1]
try:
map_5_name = m["games"][4]["attributes"]["map"]
map_5_type = MAP_TYPE.get(map_5_name)
map_5_away_points = m["games"][4]["points"][0]
map_5_home_points = m["games"][4]["points"][1]
except (IndexError, KeyError) as e:
map_5_name = "N/A"
map_5_type = "N/A"
map_5_away_points = "N/A"
map_5_home_points = "N/A"
print("Map 1 Data: ", map_1_name, map_1_type, map_1_away_points, map_1_home_points)
print("Map 2 Data: ",map_2_name, map_2_type, map_2_away_points, map_2_home_points)
print("Map 3 Data: ",map_3_name, map_3_type, map_3_away_points, map_3_home_points)
print("Map 4 Data: ",map_4_name, map_4_type, map_4_away_points, map_4_home_points)
print("Map 5 Data: ",map_5_name, map_5_type, map_5_away_points, map_5_home_points)
` This calls the Vancouver-Houston game specifically. Here is the response from the API.
Map 1 Data: None None 0 2 Map 2 Data: None None 1 0 Map 3 Data: eichenwalde Hybrid 2 1 Map 4 Data: None None 1 0 Map 5 Data: N/A N/A N/A N/A
Compare that to the London-Shanghai game and we get:
Map 1 Data: nepal Control 2 0 Map 2 Data: kings-row Hybrid 0 3 Map 3 Data: temple-of-anubis Assault 1 0 Map 4 Data: route-66 Escort 0 3 Map 5 Data: ilios Control 1 2
Looking at the Vancouver-Houston game on the website, we see:
3 maps which are new to 2019 were played, but not recorded by the API.
