Question 1

How to handle OAuth user tokens with blizzard.js?

Accepted Answer

Blizzard.js does not handle user tokens; for protected WoW profile data, you need to use an OAuth library like Passport to obtain user tokens via Authorization Code Flow and pass them manually to the client, as stated in the README.

Question 2

Is blizzard.js better than making direct API calls to Blizzard?

Accepted Answer

Blizzard.js simplifies authentication, token management, and URL encoding, making it easier for Node.js projects, but direct calls might be preferred for minimal dependencies or full control over request handling.

Question 3

How to install and use blizzard.js with Express.js?

Accepted Answer

Install via npm or yarn, then import the game client (e.g., wow) and create an instance with your API credentials in an Express route handler to fetch and serve game data, as shown in the usage examples.

Question 4

Does blizzard.js support Overwatch 2 or only Overwatch 1?

Accepted Answer

The library lists an Overwatch (ow) client, but support for Overwatch 2 depends on the Blizzard API; check the Overwatch wiki page for specific endpoints and updates.

Question 5

How to change the region or locale for requests in blizzard.js?

Accepted Answer

Set the origin and locale in the createInstance configuration or override them per request using method parameters, as demonstrated in the flexible configuration options.

Question 6

What are the rate limits when using blizzard.js?

Accepted Answer

Rate limits are imposed by the Blizzard API itself; blizzard.js does not add its own limits or handling, so refer to Blizzard's documentation and implement retry logic manually if needed.
