Does Leaguepedia have an API?

Yes, the Cargo API on its MediaWiki: you query wiki tables with a SQL-like syntax. Heavy use runs into rate limits and needs a bot account.

What is the difference from the LoL wiki API page?

That page covers wiki-style data in general; this one maps Leaguepedia's Cargo tables to the REST endpoints that replace them.

Do I need a bot password?

No. One API key in the x-api-key header; the limits are on the pricing page.

Which leagues are covered?

The LCK, LPL, LEC, LTA and the international events, plus regional leagues tracked by the LoL esports schedule.

AlternativeLoL wiki API

Leaguepedia API alternative: REST, not Cargo.

Leaguepedia is the reference wiki for pro League of Legends, but its API is Cargo: SQL-like queries over wiki tables, anonymous rate limits, and a bot password once you need volume. The same questions as one REST call each: league history and champions, schedules, results, rosters and team records.

Seamless Integration with our MCP Server

Give Claude, Cursor and ChatGPT the League of Legends esports data. One command writes the MCP config; agents call live match, team, player and schedule tools with real ids instead of guessing them, and your key stays on your machine.

Cargo table to endpoint

Leaguepedia (Cargo)	Endpoint
Tournaments / TournamentResults	GET /lol/leagues/{league}/history
MatchSchedule	GET /lol/leagues/{league}/matches/upcoming
ScoreboardGames	GET /lol/matches/{matchId}/games
TournamentPlayers / Players	GET /lol/teams/{slug}/roster
RosterChanges	GET /lol/teams/{slug}/roster/history

When Leaguepedia is still the right tool

Leaguepedia covers more history and more obscure leagues than any API, and its editors are fast. For deep historical research it is the reference.

For an app, a bot or a model that needs the same data every day, a REST API with stable ids and a known rate limit is less work than maintaining Cargo queries.
