Not tracking full list of players?

[OkDruid]

Hey, firstly thanks for making this.

I am running two separate instances, one with PC_NA and one with PC_EU as discord is fairly evenly split between the two and people switch between them depending on who is playing.

I have added 25 players to the users.json in each instance - When I run the the main.py it only goes through about 5 of them and those are the only ones whos matches get tracked? it seems to ignore the rest of the list (using the !players command displays the full player list).

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks

I'm not 100% sure but is it possible you're hitting the PUBG API limit? It's currently set to 10 Requests Per Minute and with 25 players I can see that happening.

[OkDruid]

Oh could be? I thought you could query multiple players using one request though? I atleast used two different API's for NA / EU though.

@Haza I contacted PUBG API support in regards to an increase in API rate limit and they provided some useful suggestions that I think would be more useful if I passed on to you:

Hello, How often does your application poll for changes to the player record? I understand that the point is to post match results as soon as they are available, but even then you shouldn't need to query more than every 3-5 minutes at most for each player considering match times. With that said, if the requests for each tracked player were spaced out on individual timers, you would easily be able to support 25 or even more on only 10 requests / minute. This is aided by the fact that the /matches endpoint is no longer rate limited which cuts the number of your requests that are rate limited in half.
Basically, what I am suggesting is that you set a flag after a new match is found for a player, to not check them again for at least 5 or more minutes.
Cheers,
PUBG API Support

Thanks for testing.
I am sorry to hear that you have some issues using this bot. You need to understand that this is still more a WIP project than a full stable bot.

That being said, when you launch the bot, if a user does not have a match, if should be displayed on the console (see prefly.py, the line "print('No match found for ' + player.name)")

I could be possible you're facing an API limit. Right now, all the player list is taken, and a query is made to the API (so 20 users means 20 requests).
There are some tricks in the code to limit requests made to retrieve the matches (if multiple of you users are in the same match, the match data will only be queried once).

Adding something (don't really know how/what right now) to be able to run the bot with more users is a must have. But no ETA for this on my side right now.

This is the output based on a list of 25 users but seems to only go through 3 of them:

Could you provide your users file so I can test it?

Thanks

I tested with you user list.
The API is only retrieving a very limited set of you users.

You can test yourself by using
curl -X GET "https://api.playbattlegrounds.com/shards/pc-na/players?filter[playerNames]=%20ChaosxChoalition%2CClayed%2CCrazygunner101%2CDeadWolves%2CDonoman02%2CFallenUpwards%2CJay-Red%2CLijaKiller%2CManumanu54%2CMatranse%2CSirClayedTV%2CSoC-Suzy%2CTommy-G%2CWalahfried%2CWardogYasa%2CWiggo-91%2Cbruce-jenner%2CccKeyserSoze%2Ccrazynads%2Ch4wkeye%2Cm1k1zZz%2Cmierneuker%2Cmondaysgiraffe%2Cmrstandalone%2Ctomcw" -H "accept: application/vnd.api+json" -H "Authorization: Bearer <API KEY>"

It return only 3 players. (I removed the matches).

This is really what the API is returning while searching for players.
Does the other players have played in the current shard ? (NA)
If yes, does they have played recently ? I've heard that the API only retains 1 ou 2 weeks of matches data (it has changed lately, I didn't really followed that).

[OkDruid]

for NA I know I know these have all played within last 2 weeks (likely more of them but these I've seen play):
ChaosxChaolition
Clayed
Crazygunner101
Donoman02
Matranse
SirClayedTV
WardogYasa
ccKeyserSoze
mrstandalone

Some played EU and NA aside from maybe Tommy-G I think all of them have played within the last 2 weeks
