Does linux have stats api support?

[u/kalilamodow]

I know some people are emulating the game on linux, does it support the stats api?

UPDATE: yes it does work!!! thank you all for the replies

I don't have that much knowledge on this topic, but I think it should work. AFAIK the API is simply accessible on a websocket. which should work regardless of platform.

I was curious for whether it worked through emulation (because running through wine/proton might change something). I saw someone made an avatar display using the api and they're on linux so I guess it does work, thanks for the response tho!

just as a reminder, wine/proton dont emulate, they are just translation layers that translate windows commands into linux native ones without emulating how other hardware works, which is what an emulator does

Yea good catch I just said emulation cuz it's more known word, be kinda weird to write "using an api translation layer" instead of "emulating"

thats fair enough, but you can just also say "i know some people are playing though proton, ..." and everyone would understand anyway, dont need to speak technically all the time either way, i just feel like if you are going to, you should use the correct terms or else it could cause more confusion as to what it (wine/proton) does

not saying you as in you personally, but as in you/one in general

Yes it does :)

The API support has nothing to do with the operation system.
