Flow:

1. Build Items List object using GetGameItems().

   API: http://api.steampowered.com/IEconDOTA2_570/GetGameItems/v0001/?key=api_key&language=en

   Item JSON Object

   {
   "result":{
      "items":[
            {
               "id":1,
               "name":"item_blink",
               "cost":2250,
               "secret_shop":0,
               "side_shop":1,
               "recipe":0,
               "localized_name":"Blink Dagger"
            }
         ]
      }
   }

2. Build Heros List object using GetHeroes().

   API: https://api.steampowered.com/IEconDOTA2_570/GetHeroes/v0001/?key=api_key&language=en
   Hero Image URL example: http://cdn.dota2.com/apps/dota2/images/heroes/antimage_lg.png
   

   Hero JSON Object

   {
   "result":{
      "heroes":[
            {
               "name":"npc_dota_hero_antimage",
               "id":1,
               "localized_name":"Anti-Mage"
            }
         ]
      }
   }

3. Build Abilities List object using npc_abilities.txt file. Steam doesn't provide any API to fetch the abilities, not sure why.

   Ability Image URL example: http://cdn.dota2.com/apps/dota2/images/abilities/antimage_blink_md.png

   Ability text Object

   {
      "DOTAAbilities":{
        "antimage_mana_break"
        {
          "ID"                  "5003"
          "AbilityBehavior"         "DOTA_ABILITY_BEHAVIOR_PASSIVE"
          "AbilityUnitDamageType"      "DAMAGE_TYPE_PHYSICAL"      
          "SpellImmunityType"         "SPELL_IMMUNITY_ENEMIES_NO"
          "AbilitySpecial"
          {
            "01"
            {
               "var_type"         "FIELD_FLOAT"
               "damage_per_burn"   "0.6"
            }
            "02"
            {
               "var_type"         "FIELD_INTEGER"
               "mana_per_hit"      "28 40 52 64"
            }
          }
        }
      }
   }
   

4. Get match details using GetMatchDetails(). For now, the match id is hardcoded.

5. Show data on the console.
