Get StartedAPI Reference
import valaw
import asyncio

async def main():
    client = valaw.Client("YOUR_RIOT_API_TOKEN", "americas")
    try:
        # Get account by Riot ID
        account = await client.GET_getByRiotId("Player", "TAG")
        print(f"Found: {account.gameName}#{account.tagLine}")
        
        # Get match history
        matches = await client.GET_getMatchlist(
            account.puuid, 
            "na"
        )
        print(f"Matches: {len(matches.history)}")
    finally:
        await client.close()

Get started in minutes

Install Valaw and make your first API call

1

Install the package

Install Valaw using pip or uv:
pip install valaw
2

Get your Riot API key

Create a free developer account at developer.riotgames.com and generate your API key. Keep it secure and never commit it to version control.
Development API keys expire after 24 hours. For production use, apply for a production key through the Riot Developer Portal.
3

Initialize the client

Create a client instance with your API key and preferred cluster:
import valaw

# Choose your cluster: americas, asia, europe, or esports
client = valaw.Client("YOUR_RIOT_API_TOKEN", "americas")
Select the cluster closest to your server location for best performance.
4

Make your first request

Query the API and get typed responses:
import asyncio

async def main():
    client = valaw.Client("YOUR_RIOT_API_TOKEN", "americas")
    try:
        # Get game content
        content = await client.GET_getContent("na", "en-US")
        print(f"Acts: {len(content.acts)}")
        print(f"Characters: {len(content.characters)}")
    finally:
        await client.close()

asyncio.run(main())

Acts: 15
Characters: 25
