The infrastructure behind SmiteStats.com

This project is now deprecated, consider this archived.

I built SmiteStats.com as I regularly play Smite game with friends. The initial aim was to create a clan based smite stats site just for fun. However it has evolved into quite the project and stores around 4GB of player data including over 5,400,000 match records.

Smite stats relies on the official Hi-Rez Smite, Paladins and Realm Developer API (more details can be found here). The API provides a source for all player and match data. Consequently if the API became unavailable then the site would cease to provide real time data. In that case it would be more of an archive of smite stats data.

The Arduino board we have been using is WiFi ready, due to its secure ECC608 crypto chip accelerator. This is perfect as we can use the readily available Arduino WiFi library in our code.
