Input Schema
TableJSON Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| name | Yes | Persona / display name to search for. | |
| limit | No | Max players to return (default 10). | |
| _apiKey | No | Optional — your own OpenDota API key (free, from https://www.opendota.com/api-keys) for higher, PER-KEY rate limits. The endpoint is keyless: omit this and calls still work, but OpenDota rate-limits by calling IP and the shared Worker egress IP is frequently already at quota from unrelated traffic — a caller-supplied key escapes that. |
