About the PUBG API

The PUBG API enables developers to gather PUBG post-match game data about matches or players’ season stats. Anyone can use the PUBG API to create awesome PUBG applications for their own enjoyment or for the community. Get inspired by taking a look at the spotlight posts that we’ve done in the past, highlighting some of the best Featured Apps that the community developers have created so far.
