Path of Exile

API

Official API for Path of Exile game data

Overview

The Path of Exile API provides RESTful endpoints for accessing official game data including items, leagues, character profiles, passive skill trees, ladder rankings, and item base types. Responses are formatted in JSON. Use cases include building player tools (item analyzers, build planners), community platforms displaying league statistics, third-party apps tracking character progression, and integrating game data into content creation workflows. Authenticated endpoints (via OAuth) allow access to user-specific data like character inventories and progression.

script.js JS


fetch('https://www.pathofexile.com/developer/docs')
  .then(res => res.json())
  .then(data => console.log(data))
