Description

I wanted an easy way to get my friends ratings in PUBG. This command-line program uses https://pubg.op.gg/ as a means of obtaining a person's stats.

In order to obtain a person's stats we require an id to access pubg.op.gg api. However, I couldn't be bothered to go through and find all of my friend's id's and decided to make a webscraper instead.

Heres how the program functions:

1. Grab pubg usernames from input.json.
2. Grab the cached username to id mapping from id-mapping.json if it exists.
3. Start aggregating data by iterating through username array:
   • If the username doesn't have an id mapping then webscrape from pubg.op.gg by using phantomJS.
   • If the username DOES have an id mapping then call pubg.op.gg's api directly (this saves a lot of time)
4. Update the cached data so future runs are quicker.
