Where the data comes from
One source of truth: the official Clash Royale API — plus curated, cited game data. Nothing scraped, nothing invented.
Clashest has exactly one live data source: the official Clash Royale API operated by Supercell. Player profiles, battle logs, clans, river races, leaderboards, tournaments, and the card catalog all come from it.
All API calls happen server-side — the API token never reaches your browser. Card art is served from the official API's asset URLs.
Two kinds of pages
| Kind | Examples | Freshness |
|---|---|---|
| Live API pages | Player profiles, clans, leaderboards, tournaments | Fetched on request (with short caching to respect rate limits). |
| Aggregate stats pages | Deck rankings, card stats, tier list, meta dashboard | Computed from the battle corpus — see ingestion & freshness. |
Curated game data
Per-level card stats, evolution details, and ability descriptions are typed content files maintained with the site, transcribed from cited public sources (official material and community wiki stat tables). Each card page lists its sources. See per-level stats.
Balance history comes from the news archive, where every post cites its sources.
