Esports API?

Is there currently an API for gathering information on pro play? I've seen a couple of github repos but I'm not sure if they're outdated or not. If so, can anyone point me to a good one I can look at?

Hey there!

We don't have an official esports API within the public Riot API, but if the esports team ever rolls one out we'll be quick to hook it up into the Riot API! In the meantime, a lot of enterprising developers within the community have figured out a way to make an ad-hoc solution using the live data feeds for the lolesports.com website. While we can't guarantee that method will always work in the future or be reliable 100% of the time, it's been a good solution for a lot of community devs so far. You can go checkout our community developer support forums over at discussion.developer.riotgames.com for more info!
