API

Official API for League of Legends game data

Overview

The Riot Games API provides access to real-time and historical data for League of Legends, including summoner profiles, match details, champion stats, league rankings, and esports results. It uses RESTful endpoints with JSON responses. Developers can build stats trackers, esports dashboards, strategy tools, or community platforms using endpoints like summoner info, match history, and champion mastery. Authentication via API key is required, with rate limits varying by tier (basic vs production).
