python dota2 data 3 download winner data

Goal: Download five heroes from each winner or loser for subsequent analysis.

Because get_match_history() does not include wins or losses in the return, but also uses get_for each matchMatch_Details() query, less efficient.
Use another API to query the contest, get_match_history_by_seq_num():

{
    status
        1 - Success
        8 - Matches_requested must be greater than 0
    statusDetail        - Message explaining a status that is not equal to 1
    [matches]           - See get_match_details()
}

This function queries directly from the specified sequence_The game started with ID and returned contains get_Match_Contest details in details ().(sequence_id and match_id is different)

Take Start Competition Sequence_The ID is 310000 000 000, queried for November 16, 2017, a few days after the release of version 7.07.
There is a file for this numberLatest.datFor reading and updating before and after each query, to facilitate interruption and continued download.

Get the data and process it so that each row stores the ID of the winner's five heroes, then the ID of the loser's five heroes, and finally the sequence of the match_Id, stored in this formMatches.datMedium.
