NextPart 1: What is the Riot Games API?

Last updated 6 years ago

Hello, and welcome to this 3-part series on getting yourself up and going with the Riot Games API. This series is aimed at people who have little or no programming experience, but some parts will still be useful for more experienced developers who are new to the Riot Games API.

By the end of this series, you will have created a basic website where a user can enter a summoner name and it will show them basic information about that summoner.

This tutorial series will closely align with the Riot Games API’s page. You can think of this as a companion guide that expands on the basic concepts described there.
