Raider API

Beginner's Pick Games & Comics / No Auth Required Beginner HTTPS
Free to Use Varies (check documentation)

Overview

The Raider.io API provides detailed World of Warcraft character and guild rankings for Mythic+ dungeons and raid content without requiring any authentication. You can look up any character's Mythic+ score, best runs, and raid progression. It is great for building WoW performance dashboards or guild recruitment tools.

Beginner Tip

All requests are public and need no API key — just include the character name, realm, and region as query parameters. Use region=us, realm=your-realm-name (lowercase, hyphens for spaces), and name=CharacterName.

Common Errors & Troubleshooting

400 Bad Request Missing required query parameters or incorrect parameter values
Ensure you include all required parameters: region (us/eu/tw/kr), realm (slugified), and name (case-insensitive character name)
Could not find requested character The character name, realm, or region combination does not exist or has never been indexed by Raider.io
Search for the character on raider.io website first to confirm it has a profile; the character must have logged a Mythic+ run to appear
Empty fields in response The fields parameter was not included or the character has no data for the requested field
Add the fields parameter to your request (e.g., fields=mythic_plus_scores_by_season:current) to retrieve specific data sections

Metadata Score Breakdown

Estimated from metadata — endpoint not independently tested

This score is estimated from observable metadata — HTTPS support, authentication model, declared CORS, and documentation reachability — because the API requires authentication or exposes no publicly testable endpoint. The five-signal breakdown is only shown for live-tested APIs.
