Open Data API
Hi, I'm a data scientist and I'm looking to analyse my team's in-game data. I'm wondering if there are any in-depth APIs or if anyone has had any luck getting your data from Respawn themselves? I kn...

@Joshuabailey1111 You would need to be highly trusted user ill say that much. Even Apex Tracker is ran by public players and only 1 person at that. But these type programs have to hook into the game to get its stats. So with that being said I dont think it will be a easy task at all for them allow someone to do.
Not at all saying they would never or would not but being its hooked into the games actual source code i could see it being very troubling to them to allow it without closely monitoring it them self.

@E9ine_AC@E9ine_ACYou're not quite right.
Apex Legends accesses API data through JSON, which is a storable file that outputs mostly data. So for instance configurations, player data and more.
You request a web page the same way as you request API data in Apex Legends (talking about headers and making a POST/GET request.)
The way you could apprehend this is by looking into logs for some signs and use Fiddler to proxy all the data coming in your PC and read every single request headers and the headers they sent out by the game (since it HAS to get it's data from somewhere)
The data that he gets will approximately be the same data that anyone gets, even if they made an official API, this would still most likely be the same one he has found already unless they change the way of fetching multiple characters in an array.
@Joshuabailey1111Your best bet is just using the unofficial API's, EA seems not to be mad about the fact that people use their statistics, which is lovely for the developers.
Source: I managed to do exactly the same thing for another top 10 game which I'm not allowed to specify to get their hidden data with even hidden stats.
PS: I just realized how late I am to the party, but still hope it may help any other future folks that are looking into development, especially when there is no official API data.
It's plausible, but may take time.
It took me 3 years to get a hold of one API from another game because I was constantly looking in the wrong direction, so question yourself if it's worth it or not.
Use data that you already have! <3
I tried using fiddler but to no avail.
would you know how to extract the apex information?
could call in DM?
