Games & Comics — entry 062 of 77
Riot Games
Riot Games' developer portal issues API keys for pulling League of Legends and Teamfight Tactics data — match history, ranked leaderboards, summoner profiles, and live game status — with newer titles like Valorant, Legends of Runeterra, Riftbound, and 2KXO also listed, though their public data APIs remain thin. Keys come in three tiers: a 24-hour development key for prototyping, a rate-limited personal key for small non-public projects, and an approved production key (500 req/10s, 30,000 req/10min) for public apps.
