I realize that my question might be a bit too specific. Nevertheless, let me quickly give an intro to the problem.
Some background info: Dota 2 is a Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA) game developed by Valve. The game runs on the Source 2 engine. As far as I understand, there are two components to the game: the client and Valve's server.
Dota 2 has guilds which can include up to 50 members. The guild could be thought of as a Discord channel. Guild members can chat and queue (arrange a guild party of 5) to play the game.
Each guild member is expected to earn game points by just playing with other guild members.
The problem: The game itself has a very rudimentary guild management and statistics system. I'm interested in a way to pull guild-wide accessible data from the Dota 2 client. The data points I'm interested in are "player name" and "player's points".
Possible workarounds: I could collect this data by hand for all 50 members, but this is very tedious, especially if I want to do that on a weekly basis.
I know that Dota 2 has a console (similar to a console in CS:GO, Team Fortress, Left 4 Dead and Half-Life). I've scanned through console commands but couldn't find anything relevant.
I'm also aware of the OpenDota API. However, it seems it is for gathering match statistics rather than guild data.
My question is: Is it somehow possible to dump data from the Dota 2 client and then parse it using Python? Perhaps, more generally, how would I find out potential ways of getting the guild data?
Here is the guild table in Dota that I would like to pull:
