BF1 stats api request format?

Here is the information about a request I obtained from Firefox's developer tools. The request is made to:

 

Code:

https://companion-api.battlefield.com/jsonrpc/web/api_Stats.getCareerForOwnedGamesByPersonaId

using URL parameters:

Stats.getCareerForOwnedGamesByPersonaId

 

and POST data:

{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"Stats.getCareerForOwned GamesByPersonaId","params":{"personaId":"removed for this post"},"id":"removed for this post"}

 

(I removed my personaId and id for this post but there would be numbers in those spots)

 

I would like to make a simple C# or python program to request the json data for review but this is much different from how it is done in BF4 via Battlelog. If you guys have some ideas let me know. It may not be possible, I'm afraid...

 

I am thinking you have to have an api key.

That is no REST api, it requires a little bit more to get results.

If you have Google Chrome you can get the Postman extension to send requests to this api.

 

Go to

https://companion-api.battlefield.com/companion

and login via the web interface.

Open the Chrome developer tools with F12 and go to network

On the bottom of the companion website click on CARRER

In the developer tools Network tab click on the link to api_Stats.getCareerForOwnedGamesByPersonaId

Now you need Postman, you should find it here chrome://apps/

You can skip the account creation it is not needed

Enter the url https://companion-api.battlefield.com/jsonrpc/web/api

Change the left dropdown from GET to POST

Go to Headers

Copy from the developer tools: X-GatewaySession (that is the key and the string after the : is the value)

Go to Body

Copy from the developertools the Request Payload (after you click on 'view source')

In Postman click on Send

 

 

 

Hope this helps to understand a bit of it

Don't know if there is an offical docu for that api but that way you can reverse engineer some parts.

.

Seems like DICE locked everyone out of stats in BF1 like the servers themselves.

it seems that is all you need. i ended up favoring the https://battlefieldtracker.com/ api, but i still want to let you guys know what i found:

 

1. GET https://www.battlefield.com/login_po...Uri=/companion

gives redirect to https://signin.ea.com/p/web/login_ex...efield-CoreWeb

 

2. POST login /p/web/login_execution=e20593xxxxs1&initref=https%3A%2F%2 Faccounts.ea.com%3A443%2Fconnect%2Fauth_redirect _uri%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fwww.battlefield.com%252 Flogin_check%26locale%3Dde_DE%26state%3De958c9a9-5378-4199-807e-b71cf43b832c%26response_type%3Dcode%26client_id%3D Battlefield-CoreWeb HTTP/1.1

with email=xxx&password=xxxx&_rememberMe=on&rememberMe= on&_eventId=submit&gCaptchaResponse=

 

3. login should give you 302 redirect to https://accounts.ea.com/connect/auth...e-6f3c75f68632

and a 303 redirect to https://www.battlefield.com/login_ch...xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

 

4.?

 

5. post https://companion-api.battlefield.co...inFromAuthCode

with Companion.loginFromAuthCode=

 

response includes result->id. id is X-GatewaySession

I guess the only way to work with it right now is by authenticating as a user? Not a fan of keeping user creds in a configuration file... ugh

To my knowledge, EA has never had a publicly consumable API. They have had endpoints that people have piggybacked off of, but nothing in the way of providing approved credentials, like with OAuth.
