# PvPScout – PvP ratings in your tooltip

PvPScout shows a player’s PvP ratings from Blizzard’s official leaderboards directly in unit tooltips and via a simple chat print. Data is pre‑fetched outside the game (WoW AddOns can’t access the internet) and shipped with the addon.

## Features

- Tooltip ratings for 2v2, 3v3, Solo Shuffle, Rated Battlegrounds (10v10), and Blitz RBG

- Polished header: region + season, optional “Updated X ago”, optional stale‑data notice, optional color‑by‑rating

- Shuffle/Blitz spec logic:

- For your character: uses your current specialization only

- For other players: shows their best available spec (best rank; tie → highest rating)

- Options panel: enable/disable, show rank, trend (optional 7‑day delta), per‑bracket visibility and ordering, stale threshold, minimap icon

- Minimap button: draggable, native hover glow, right‑click quick menu (Enable, Show Rank/Header/Updated Age/Trend, per‑bracket toggles, Share to chat)

- Slash commands: `/pvpscout` prints target ratings; `/pvpscout enable|disable` toggles

- Region auto‑detect (EU/US/KR/TW); lightweight & privacy‑friendly (only public ladder data)

## How it works

- The addon ships with a `Data.lua` containing ladder snapshots built primarily from Blizzard’s official Game Data APIs. When credentials aren’t available, a polite HTML fallback collects the same public leaderboards.

- A cloud workflow refreshes the data on a schedule (about every 3 hours) and publishes alpha builds. Tagged releases upload to CurseForge and always include fresh data.

- The WoW client cannot make web requests; to receive updated data you install a new addon build.

## Usage

- Hover a player to see ratings for the enabled brackets (if the character appears on the leaderboards).

- Share ratings (chat): target a player, right‑click the minimap button → “Share ratings to chat”; a compact line is inserted into your chat box to send or edit.

- Commands:

- `/pvpscout` → print ratings for your current target (or open options when not applicable)

- `/pvpscout enable` | `/pvpscout disable` → toggle the addon

## Installation

- Recommended: Install via the CurseForge app

- Manual: Download the ZIP and extract to:

- Windows: World of Warcraft/_retail_/Interface/AddOns/

- macOS: /Applications/World of Warcraft/_retail_/Interface/AddOns/

## Supported game versions

## Known limitations

- Only characters present on the official leaderboards will show ratings.

- Realms are normalized to match in‑game formats; report mismatches on GitHub.
