Usage of the API requires the use of an API Key. You can acquire one by registering in the Development Area. Use of the APIs also requires that you agree to the Development Area Terms of Use.

Your API Key can be found on the "API Stats" page in the Development Area.

All API calls take on the following format:

Version Number corresponds to the version of the API being used. Because the API is currently in beta, the current version number is 0.

Method Name is the function of the API which will be called. (see below)

Format can be any of:

• json - Output is returned in JSON format.
• xml - Output is returned as an XML document.
• csv - Output is returned as a CSV file.

All requests to the API should check if HTTP Code 200 has been returned before doing anything else. If not, no API data has been sent. After confirming HTTP Code 200, should an error occur in an API request, an Error Code will be returned in the specified format.

For example, an API call returns the following message in JSON format:

This indicates that the database is too busy to process the request. Your application should check if "ErrorCode" has been returned, since this will always be the output in the event of an error regardless of the method called. The full list of error codes is listed below.

• 1000 - Unknown Error
• 1001 - Database Error
• 1002 - Database Busy
• 1009 - Unknown Method Name (misspelled in request?)
• 1010 - Invalid API Key
• 1011 - Access Denied (Too Frequently)
• 1012 - Access Denied (API Key Restricted)

Every record on the website, such as players, games, teams, etc., all have their own unique ID that can be found in their URL. For example:

The playerid is 1490.

In order to ensure continued access and fast load times to information on the site, restrictions on the API will be placed. You may only access the API at most once per second. Please store any information retrieved from the API locally, and refresh the information every once in a while.

Notes:

• For v0 of the API, "TeamId" and "TeamName" may not work as intended. The site currently has an unreliable method of determining team associations for individual and team earnings. This will be rectified in v1.
• "TournamentTeamId" refers to a team earning for a single tournament, while "TeamId" refers to a team record on the site.
• "TournamentTeamName" is the name of the team specifically for the associated tournament. It may include the title sponsor where appropriate (Fnatic.MSI for Fnatic), or may not be associated with a team at all, such as an all-stars match or two players pairing up for a 2v2 tournament.
• The "LookupTournamentTeamResultsByTournamentId" method should be called along with "LookupTournamentTeamPlayersByTournamentId". Use "TournamentTeamId" to associate players with their respective team earning.
