FAQ

Before you sign in

Who can use Open Access?

Students, academics, hobbyist developers and early-stage projects. You declare your category and intended use when you register.

Can I use it in a commercial product?

No. Open Access is for learning and experimentation. If your project is ready to commercialise, there are paid and application-based tiers. Contact GRID to find the right one.

Can I use it for betting or gambling?

No. Betting and gambling use is excluded, and you confirm this when you register.

Why is live data delayed?

Riot Games Open Access data is delayed to protect game integrity. The delay does not affect data granularity and should provide data at a sufficient speed for the early stages of a project.

Where do I get help?

Documentation and the GRID community on Discord are available once you have signed in.
