What the report says

Speed is essential in the data-driven world of esports, and we’re here to keep you ahead of the game.With two major updates to our Stats Feed API — 70% faster queries and enhanced support for complex data aggregations — you can now access insights faster and more efficiently than ever before.Let's examine what this upgrade means for you to understand its significance and how it can give you a competitive edge.Do you need Esports Insights? Meet the GRID Stats Feed API.The Stats Feed API is part of GRID’s data platform and provides access to processed and aggregated game statistics.

It’s a GraphQL-based API, meaning developers can use flexible queries to retrieve the specific data they need. It’s designed to be title-agnostic, working across the multiple games GRID supports.It’s distinct from the Live Data Feed, which provides raw, real-time event data. The Stats API sits after the data processing pipeline, providing ready-to-use insights, such as the pick/ban rates for each character across a series, a tournament, or a specific time frame.Unlocking Endless PossibilitiesThe GRID Stats Feed API offers key advantages. It saves time by providing direct access to pre-calculated game statistics, eliminating raw data processing.

Critically, these statistics are updated immediately following each match, reflecting the latest results and performance changes — for example, a team’s win rate/win streak will adjust right after a series win. These aggregated stats offer valuable performance insights, making trend identification easier.The API enables diverse data-driven applications, empowering various users.Developers, game publishers, and tournament organizers can use it to create data-driven content, infographics, and broadcast overlays that enhance viewer experience, quickly access historical stats, or generate comparisons between players.Bookmakers use the Stats Feed API to provide bettors with key performance indicators, like recent team performance and head-to-head matchup comparisons, to inform their wagering decisions.Teams and players can easily analyze performance metrics like win rates, kill/death ratios, headshot percentages, and more over specific time periods or tournaments, as well as improve strategic planning, player evaluation, and post-match analysis.Unrivaled Stats Potential: The Power of Official DataWe use official game data by partnering directly with game publishers and tournament organizers, ensuring accuracy and reliability.
