Stats API ?
Hey, is there any api for stats on the game so cool community stats sites can be build ? Maybe you can link me to some documentation ? Thx!
Another day without an api. Devs can we get some feedback?
@shrtNme1 honestly don't think this forum gets any dev attention lol. Better off trying reddit or twitter.
I will keep on trying. Maybe one day they will pay attention to the community
I doubt this will happen anytime soon. At least not for the general public.
I looked into something similar for FIFA a year or two ago. There are websites that have up to date info and detail on players/cards/etc in the game but it would seem they have some sort of arrangement to pull that information. I've not found anything "publicly" available to do so with FIFA nor NHL. I don't see why Apex would be any different.
There are apex tracking sites but, again, they must have some sort of arrangement to get this info from them for their site. I'm not sure how that works.
You'd also have to take into account the server bashing that would take place if anybody could just query the hell out of the game. Is that something you'd want to see? Could cause unforeseen issues.
Don't get me wrong, as a software-bod I'd love to see it and would probably use it. But I can see why they wouldn't want this.

Most "api" that tracker.gg and the like use are just unofficial data requests that the client receives, no special arrangements there, just a bit of network RE. There was an api with tons of info that got removed by respawn which was a bit of a * move from them... not too sure why they did it tbf. I just want an official one
@shrtNme1 Tracker.gg monetises their service in various ways. I don't believe for a second EA is unaware of this and they are not somehow tacitly involved. Not for a second.

@RockDokRockIt states on their website that they are not involved in any way with EA or Respawn. And it is very believable - ea/respawn will not provide support for something that isnt public, regardless of what tiny money tracker gg is making (in regards to apex tracking specifically)

@shrtNme1 That's fine; doesn't mean they are not getting paid for it though. They are getting the data somehow.

Same! EA, can we please get an API?
hopefully i don't get banned for this, but I'll bump this daily exactly at 9 AM until we have an answer 🤐
I randomly searched for EAapp/Origin API and I'm glad to see more people interested in it. I just hope that EA makes such gamer-fiendly move some day.
sorry, forgot to bump for the past couple of days. EA, can we get this pls? ktnx
