Python PUBG JSON API Wrapper and (optional) playback visualizer.
Also includes basic CLI functionality for replays, leaderboards, stats, and updating assets.
To install chicken-dinner, use pip. This will install the core dependencies which provide functionality to the API wrapper and CLI.
pip install chicken-dinner
To use the playback visualizations you will need to install the library with
extra dependencies for plotting (matplotlib
and pillow
).
For this you can also use pip:
pip install chicken-dinner[visual]
To generate the animations you will also need ffmpeg
installed on your
machine. On Max OSX you can install ffmpeg
using brew.
brew install ffmpeg
You can install ffmpeg on other systems from here.
Working with the low-level API class.

Visualizing telemetry data
from chicken_dinner.pubgapi import PUBG
api_key = "your_api_key"
pubg = PUBG(api_key, "pc-na")
shroud = pubg.players_from_names("shroud")[0]
recent_match_id = shroud.match_ids[0]
recent_match = pubg.match(recent_match_id)
recent_match_telemetry = recent_match.get_telemetry()
recent_match_telemetry.playback_animation("recent_match.html")
Recommended playback settings:
telemetry.playback_animation(
"match.html",
zoom=True,
labels=True,
label_players=[],
highlight_winner=True,
label_highlights=True,
size=6,
end_frames=60,
use_hi_res=False,
color_teams=True,
interpolate=True,
damage=True,
interval=2,
fps=30,
)
See the documentation for more details.
For CLI commands using the PUBG API, an API Key is required.
You may provide the API key via an environment variable
named PUBG_API_KEY
or with the CLI option --api-key
export PUBG_API_KEY=your_pubg_api_key
chicken-dinner [command] --shard=steam ...
OR
chicken-dinner [command] --api-key=your_pubg_api_key --shard=steam ...
A shard is optional, but the default shard is steam
.
To update local assets, including hi-res maps and asset dictionaries:
chicken-dinner assets
Display the leaderboards for a game mode (shard default is steam):
chicken-dinner leaderboard --shard=steam solo-fpp
Display player stats for lifetime or the current season (shard default is steam):
# Get the lifetime stats for chocoTaco in solo-fpp
chicken-dinner stats --shard=steam --lifetime --group=solo --perspective=fpp chocoTaco
# Get the latest season stats for chocoTaco in solo-fpp
chicken-dinner stats -g solo -p fpp chocoTaco
Generate html5 replays for matches (shard default is steam):
# Generate a replay for the latest win of chocoTaco in specified path
chicken-dinner replay --latest --wins-only --size=6 --path=/path/to/my/replays chocoTaco
# Generate a replay for the latest game of chocoTaco
chicken-dinner replay -l chocoTaco
# Generate a replay for all of chocoTaco's wins in recent games
chicken-dinner replay -w chocoTaco
# Generate a replay for all of the recent games of chocoTaco
chicken-dinner replay chocoTaco

Telemetry events and objects are generic class wrappers. They are constructed when the Telemetry instance is created. This makes them telemetry version-agnostic, but requires some work to inspect their contents and structure. The TelemetryEvent and TelemetryObject classes also transform the payload keys to snake_case.
TelemetryEvents are containers for event key-values and structures which contain a hierarchy of TelemetryObjects.
# Get all TelemetryEvents as a list

TelemetryObjects refer to entities such as players, items, locations, vehicles, etc.
