RuneScape API
Overview
The RuneScape API provides free access to game data for both RuneScape and Old School RuneScape (OSRS), including item prices, player hiscores, and quest information. No API key is required, making it easy to start building tools and trackers. It is widely used for Grand Exchange price monitors and skill progression calculators.
Beginner Tip
No authentication is required. The OSRS API and the main RuneScape API have separate base URLs, so make sure you use the right one for the game version you are targeting.
