Path of Exile API

Games & Comics / OAuth Advanced HTTPS
Varies by plan (check documentation)

Overview

The Path of Exile API gives you access to game data for the popular action RPG, including character builds, items, and league standings. You need to authenticate with OAuth to access player data and account information. It is great for building tools like build trackers or price checkers for PoE players.

💡

Beginner Tip

Start by reading the official developer docs to understand OAuth scopes before making requests. Public endpoints like league listings require no auth, so test those first.

Available Data

Use case: Integrate path of exile game information data into web and mobile applications
Path of Exile data via REST API
JSON-formatted response data
Requires OAuth authentication

const url = "https://www.pathofexile.com/developer/docs";
// Replace headers or query params with the values required by this API.
const response = await fetch(url, {
  headers: {
  "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_API_KEY"
  }
});
if (!response.ok) throw new Error(`Request failed: ${response.status}`);
const data = await response.json();
console.log(data);

Common Errors & Troubleshooting

401 Unauthorized Missing or expired OAuth token for protected endpoints
Complete the OAuth 2.0 flow to get a valid access token and include it as Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN
403 Forbidden OAuth token does not have the required scope for the requested data
Re-authenticate and request the necessary scopes (e.g., account:profile) in your OAuth authorization URL
429 Too Many Requests Exceeded the rate limit for the API
Check the X-Rate-Limit-* response headers and implement exponential backoff between requests
