Endpoint Playground

Try the OpenDota live Dota 2 games API

Returns OpenDota's current top live Dota 2 games: match and league IDs, team names, score, game clock, net-worth lead, player names when exposed, raw hero IDs, the upstream team code (`0` or `1`), and team slot (`1`, `2`, `3`, `4`, or `5`). The source mixes public matchmaking with tournament games; `league_id` is `0` when no league is associated, so its presence alone does not certify a professional event. `delay_seconds` and `last_update_time` report source freshness. Live player K/D/A is not provided by this endpoint. Resolve `hero_id` values with opendota_heroes.

Response behavior

- The response can include ordinary public matchmaking and tournament games. `league_id` is `0` when no league is associated; a nonzero ID does not by itself prove a professional event. - `delay_seconds` and `last_update_time` describe the source snapshot. The source is best-effort and its observed delay varied. A missing update time stays omitted; a zero timestamp remains zero. - Player `team_code` values are `0` and `1`. `team_slot` values are `1`, `2`, `3`, `4`, and `5`. These are raw OpenDota codes. - `hero_id` is an OpenDota hero identifier. Use [opendota-heroes](opendota-heroes.md) to resolve the current IDs and names. - The source does not provide live player K/D/A on this endpoint. An empty `matches` list is valid when no games are live. - The endpoint caches the source snapshot for up to one minute to stay within OpenDota's anonymous API limits.
