Introduction to Overwolf Electron APIs
Overwolf Electron APIs provide a powerful set of tools for developers to build desktop applications with access tailored specifically for gaming. These APIs extend the traditional Electron framework by integrating Overwolf's APIS to create desktop apps that respond to real-time game events, capture in-game data, and seamlessly interact with the Overwolf platform. Overwolf provides these capabilities on the Electron framework to enable developers to create deeply integrated apps that enhance gameplay without requiring low-level native development.
