This repository contains a script that is meant to be packaged and delivered to AWS Lambda to periodically collect Call of Duty Modern Warfare data via their RapidAPI interface.
lambda_function.py is the only script required and contains code to contact RAPIDAPI endpoint, gather data, and dump it to an appropriate S3 bucket and DynamoDB table.
-
Get your
API-KEYfrom RapidAPI by making an account. As of this writing, the Call of Duty Modern Warfare API is free to use. -
Create an AWS Lambda function with at least Python 3.6. Set any relevant tags or descriptions for you. Upload the
lambda_function.pyscript to the function. -
Create a DynamoDB table to store match data. Ensure the table is in the same region as your Lambda function. Save the table name.
-
Create an S3 Bucket in the same region as your Lambda function. Save the Bucket ARN.
-
Create a Rule on Amazon EventBridge in the same region as your Lambda function. The recommended event schedule is
rate(6 hours)for running every, you guessed it, six hours. Add the rule as a trigger to the function. -
Set the following Environment Variables in the Lambda function:
API_KEY: set to the RapidAPI key you receiveMWDynamoTable: set to the name of a DynamoDB table you createdMWBucketARN: set to the ARN of the bucket where you'd like to dump data
-
Configure a blank test event (literally
"{}") to be able to test the script. The reason the test event can be blank here is that the function does not perform any actions with data from the event. -
If you see
"Execution result: succeeded", then the function sucessfully ran and dumped data. Congrats!

{'message': 'You are not subscribed to this API.'}- got this multiple times when using an invalid API key. Check the key that is stored in your Environment Variables -
{'error': True, 'message': '404 - Not found. Incorrect username or platform? Misconfigured privacy settings?'}- more often than not, this is due to using an incorrect gamertag for the associated platform. I personally resolved this using my Activision ID.
