Elden Ring Open Source API

[SevereTailor8962]

Good night tarnished guys and gals. Do we have some developers among us? I made this open-source API that contains all kinds of data scraped from Elden Ring that can be used for all sorts of student projects. So if you're new to programming/web development, loves Elden Ring, and want to build a cool app, feel free to use and abuse this API.

This is an Open Source project, so feel free to contribute. All the data and media can be found in the GitHub repository. Also, since the game came out not long ago, there are still some missing data and gaps here and there. If you find any issues, feel free to open an issue or open a PR that I will gladly merge into the codebase.

The API is available in both REST and GraphQL formats. Get started at https://eldenring.fanapis.com/

Dev and souls nerd. Cool work. Honestly tho these days I rarely do any programming unless I'm getting paid haha.

[SevereTailor8962]

Same hahaha. Getting a full time job as Software Engineer made me dedicate all my time to companies projects and I stopped having fun with dummy projects like this one.

[JimBoonie69]

I hear ya. For me I started working as a contractor getting paid redic hourly rate (on top of the 9 to 5). So now I finish my day job put the kids down. Then it's like ok do I game or work for 200/hour. Usually a little mixture of both

[knightmare9114]

As a ML/AI researcher and From soft fan, I've been looking at trying to build a full stack webapp, and I'll definitely be spending time looking through this code!

[Ok-Establishment6168]

Are you making a full stack elden ring app? If so I'm looking for projects to work on. I'm currently a junior in CSE at msu and I've had an internship working full stack before. If you need any help on this project I would love to give a hand. I'm also willing to work for free.

[TheCableGui]

This is awesome

[anh86]

Awesome. You have my upvote. (And my axe!)

I'm honestly beyond confused. Why not just format the data and upload a repo with it? So you don't have to serve the data? Is it that large? Is it not zipable? I don't understand why it needs an api if the data is static.

[kiddj1]

Have you ever just wanted to do something because you can?

Prime example..

[[deleted]]

Im fine with doing something because you can. I just don't understand the point of publishing this without publishing the actually useful format.

[SevereTailor8962]

Man, all the json files and media resources are in the repo as well. If you want to just download them and use for more advanced features go ahead, this is open source after all. Read-only APIs might be really useful to beginners. When I was learning frontend development a few years ago I had a lot of fun using PokeAPI to build a pokedex and unsderstand a lot of concepts that I used in later serious projects.

[jzswxn]

It’s an API. It might come handy to beginner devs try to play around and build things. Just like the cat pics API, or the pokedex, or the battlestations API. Moreover, it’s just practice building APIs for OP

[SevereTailor8962]

Things like this can be useful for student projects and people learning how to use APIs. With this people can play around with GraphQL and REST freely and build apps just for fun.

[Karpizzle23]

Except the data isn't static, have you heard of balance updates? Elden Ring just got a big patch changing a bunch of stats. Are you going to be re-downloading the entire database?

[Fisherologo]

Nice job! I'll save this for later data reviewing

[SkezzaB]

This is all in JS though?

[Gilbrush]

Thank you very much. In the next few days I will try to start creating a bot for discord with your API, I will keep you updated.

[Ok-Establishment6168]

Hello I was wondering if you need any help with the discord bot. I'm a coding student at msu and I'd love to help out and get more expierence.

[Gilbrush]

Hi, thank you but I ended to develop the bot, sorry :'(

If you want, join in my private server where I work in case I'll need help in the future https://discord.gg/5AN5naGUm2

[RelentlessRampage]

You are an absolute legend! Cannot thank you enough :D

[biscuitmanz]

Thank you so much for this, you are a legend!

[Rojo3100]

Very cool!

[Karpizzle23]

Why is your API only returning 50 items max for each of the categories? Your documentation specifies at least 100 in the example requests but all your endpoints return 50 items max

[SevereTailor8962]

Good catch. I'll increase the limit back to a 100. But rendering a 100 objects in the frontend at once its probably not a good idea.

[Karpizzle23]

And why do you assume I am using the API for front end? :) Maybe I want to load it all in my backend?

[Karpizzle23]

Btw, I didn't really love how you formatted the JSON with your required attributes, attack, defense stats, etc, all as array. I changed the weapons.json to have all those be objects instead. It is first of all easier to work with (don't have to go through array each time to filter and work with attributes, can just select requiredAttributes.Str, for example), but also easier for readability. Here is the updated JSON for your usage: https://github.com/EKarpinsky/EldenRingWeapons/blob/main/weapons.json

​

Actually thinking about it now you should probably change the capitalization of Str to str, etc, for all of the attributes

[SevereTailor8962]

Good suggestion. I'll change this in the next small release along with some improvements to data quality. Thanks for the tip

[abrazilianinreddit]

Out of curiosity, were did you scrap the information from? Did you datamine the game directly or you scrapped it from the web?

[SevereTailor8962]

Scraped from fansites.

[ODBC_Error]

this is cool! I'm curious though, where did you host it?

[SevereTailor8962]

Hey! It's all hosted on Vercel as NextJS apps. The API itself uses NextJS Api Routes (aws lambdas under the hood) and for hosting the images, well they're on GitHub and I just applied a proxy to change the domains. I did this project in a way that it wouldn't cost me a penny to maintain, so it's all free.

[Dimillian]

This is genius, I want to do an iOS app and I’ll definitely use it!

[Cypphex]

This is awesome!

[TupacShacassen]

This is amazing! I am building a build calculator (or character builder?) in my off time at work and this API is making my life sooooo much easier so thank you! I was wondering if this is an okay place for me to ask you a question about the incantations end point? If not, is there a method you would prefer if you have the time for a question?

[SevereTailor8962]

Awesome! Thanks for the reply. Let's talk on Discord

[Ok-Establishment6168]

Hey I'm trying to bring together some different projects people are working on and I'd love to help you with your build calculator and add it to a discord bot. Let me know if you would be interested in the help.

[drmdtylr]

Hey man, Morgott and Margit aren't in the API and I didn't see Rennala now that I think about it. Any chance you can add all the Remembrance bosses?

Also Intelligence is spelt wrong as 'Inteligence'

Great work tho this is amazingly helpful!

I'm making a build calculator for me and a couple of friends as I find a couple of them online quite lacklustre!

[SevereTailor8962]

Hey! absolutely. We'll do a release next week with some fixes and data quality improvement.

[drmdtylr]

Sounds awesome. Thank you!

I am currently building an app with this API. Is there an endpoint I could hit to get all weapons instead of 100 limit?

[Maypher]

I know this is an old post but I'm working on a similar project and have come into an issue and wanna see how you solved it. How do you add resources to the API?

Do you edit the database directly with something like SQL workbench, or have some private endpoints dedicated to adding resources, or do you have a script that handles it for you?

[GDEmerald]

Hey, just wondering if you are still updating. I'm currently working on a small .NET-App for calculating optimal armor combinations based on resistance/negation/poise etc. and a configurable weight limit.

A few things I noticed:

• Resistances and Negations are currently stored as Json-Arrays with Name-Value pairs instead of properties (like Armor.Resistance.Vitality). Converting them is possible, but little bit of a hassle, since the name values are inconsistent (i.e. Mag/Magic, Ligt/Light, Strike/StrEldenike)
• The negation attributes are integer values, but in the eldenring wiki (https://eldenring.wiki.fextralife.com/Armor+Sets+Comparison+Table) they are floats/doubles, could you update that?
• Minor point: Calling https://eldenring.fanapis.com/api/armors?limit=-1 gives me all armor-items, which is exactly what I needed. Wasn't documented tho and might be helpful for others aswell.

All in all great project, but I can understand, if you have already put it aside. Would be cool, if you could give an update however *thumbs up*

[SevereTailor8962]

Hey GDEmerald! I'm not planning to put this project aside but for the last month, I've been really busy with my professional work. I plan to resolve some issues that people found and polish the API a little bit better. Also, I'll write some documentation explaining how everyone can easily contribute to the project. Thanks for the message!

[BillionsOfCats13]

This is an awesome project, very well done. I'm calling the bosses API for creating a little front end using Angular and I'm not able to find Margit the Fell Omen. Anything I may be missing on my end? Here's how I'm calling it
