DOCS / GAMES / APEX LEGENDS

Apex Legends coverage. Coming soon.

Apex Legends is seeded in the catalogue at /v1/games/apex with status: coming_soon. Fixtures, results and brackets flip on when the game goes live — ALGS Pro League, Championship, LCQ and the Esports World Cup stop all land under the same game=apex filter.

Coming-soon games still return a real catalogue row at /v1/games/apex; the status field is the source of truth for what is live. Fixture and match endpoints return 200 + an empty data array with a meta.note until the cutover.

Battle-royale match shape

Apex match data uses a different shape than the head-to-head titles:

matches.format            = "br_squad_20"
matches.score             = null           // no two-sided final score
matches.forfeit           = false
match_participants.score  = 1..20          // per-squad placement

Branch on matches.format in your consumer. PUBG uses the same pattern with br_squad_16 for its 16-squad lobby size.

What will land

GET /v1/tournaments?game=apex

GET /v1/matches?game=apex

Matches by game (lobbies)

20-squad lobbies with per-squad placement. Cursor pagination, never offset. Up to 200 per page.

GET /v1/matches/:id

Canonical record — squads, placement, broadcast, scheduled time, map (when published).

GET /v1/teams/:slug

Team / squad page

Roster, recent placements, head-to-head, regional Pro League affiliation.

Capability flags

Apex will launch with fixtures, results and brackets. match_stats (per-lobby kill leaderboard, damage breakdown) is coming soon. Asking for a capability that isn’t live yet returns 200 with meta.note rather than 402, so the omission is visible without becoming a billing error.

Catalogue

The Apex catalogue indexes the in-game objects referenced in fixtures and match prose:

legends — the playable character roster (Wraith, Bloodhound, …)
maps — the rotating pool (Olympus, Storm Point, E-District, World’s Edge, …)
weapons — the weapon roster (R-99, Wingman, Kraber, Devotion, …)
modes — Battle Royale, Ranked, Mixtape

Watch this space

/v1/games is the canonical view — read it once at startup (or poll it) to discover when Apex flips to live.
