FAQ

Q: I am getting something like "{"status", %{"message" => "Forbidden", "status_code" => 403}}"

A: Make sure you exported RIOT_API_KEY variable before going into iex -S mix shell. Otherwise, you'll have to rm -rf deps && rm -rf _build and restart again with exporting RIOT_API_KEY first then going into iex -S mix shell.

Q: After running Blol.monitor_summoner_matches/3 command, I don't see updates of summoners joining matches.

A: Wait for it. Matches take about a half hour to complete, so it will take about that time to see anything pop up in the terminal. You can also try to find more active users to test the API with here: https://developer.riotgames.com/apis#spectator-v4/GET_getFeaturedGames.
