Clash of Clans Public API Documentation

Clash of Clans is a popular strategy game available on mobile devices. The game provides a public API that developers can use to build applications that interact with the game data. In this post, we will explore the Clash of Clans public API documentation and provide example code in JavaScript.

Getting Started with the Clash of Clans API

To get started with the Clash of Clans API, you need to register and obtain an API key. Once you have the API key, you can start making API requests. Here are the basic steps to follow:

1. Register for an account and get your API key from the Clash of Clans Developer website.
2. Use your API key in the Authorization header of your requests.
3. Make API requests by sending HTTP requests to the API endpoint URLs.

Example Code in JavaScript

Here are some example API requests using JavaScript. In these examples, we will use the axios library to make HTTP requests. axios is a popular library for making HTTP requests in JavaScript.

Obtaining Player Information

To obtain information about a specific player, you can send a GET request to the player endpoint URL. Here is an example code snippet:

const axios = require('axios');

const apiKey = 'YOUR_API_KEY';
const playerId = 'PLAYER_ID';

axios.get(`https://api.clashofclans.com/v1/players/${playerId}`, {
  headers: {
    Authorization: `Bearer ${apiKey}`,
    Accept: 'application/json',
  },
})
  .then((response) => {
    console.log(response.data);
  })
  .catch((error) => {
    console.log(error);
  });

Replace YOUR_API_KEY with your actual API key and PLAYER_ID with the player's ID that you want to query. The response will be a JSON object containing information about the player.

Obtaining Clan Information

To obtain information about a specific clan, you can send a GET request to the clan endpoint URL. Here is an example code snippet:

const axios = require('axios');

const apiKey = 'YOUR_API_KEY';
const clanId = 'CLAN_ID';

axios.get(`https://api.clashofclans.com/v1/clans/${clanId}`, {
  headers: {
    Authorization: `Bearer ${apiKey}`,
    Accept: 'application/json',
  },
})
  .then((response) => {
    console.log(response.data);
  })
  .catch((error) => {
    console.log(error);
  });

Replace YOUR_API_KEY with your actual API key and CLAN_ID with the clan's ID that you want to query. The response will be a JSON object containing information about the clan.

Obtaining War Information

To obtain war information for a specific clan, you can send a GET request to the clan's current war endpoint URL. Here is an example code snippet:

const axios = require('axios');

const apiKey = 'YOUR_API_KEY';
const clanId = 'CLAN_ID';

axios.get(`https://api.clashofclans.com/v1/clans/${clanId}/currentwar`, {
  headers: {
    Authorization: `Bearer ${apiKey}`,
    Accept: 'application/json',
  },
})
  .then((response) => {
    console.log(response.data);
  })
  .catch((error) => {
    console.log(error);
  });

Replace YOUR_API_KEY with your actual API key and CLAN_ID with the clan's ID that you want to query. The response will be a JSON object containing information about the clan's current war.
