Welcome to the TornAPI

Usage

Torn's API is split up in sections, with each section having their own unique selections. Selections can be combined, allowing you to query more data while only using a single API call.
Format for the url: https://api.torn.com/:SECTION/:ID?selections=:SELECTIONS&key=:KEY

Common Query Parameters

Query parameters are used to control the data your receive. Some of them are common on all selections or a lot of them.

Automatic Limits

In order to have the game and the api keep running smooth, Torn applies some limits on their api. These limits are all rolling limits, meaning that they don't have a specific reset point.
Call Limit
Each user can make up to 100 requests per minute across all of their keys. Multiple requests using invalid keys may result in a temporary IP ban - you must account for this by removing disabled or invalid keys upon error.
IP Limit
Alongside the call limit per user, there is also an IP limit of 1,000 calls a minute on a single IP.
Cloud Limit
Some data is stored in the cloud. Endpoints that pull that data have an additional limit of 50,000 rows a day (rolling 24 hours), for a specific category. These limits also exist in-game, but they are now separated and reaching the api limit will no longer. The different categories are faction news, events, activity log and personal stats.
Cache
Calls to the API are cached. This cache lasts 29 seconds, so you can space your calls 30 seconds between them. Changing the section, selection or id will have a different cache, but other parameters like to and from won't. Like always, there are exceptions to this which will be documented on the specific selections. You are NOT allowed to bypass the cache by using multiple API keys.

Access Levels

Which selections can be accessed using a specific API key depends on their access levels. There exist 4 predefined access levels, namely public, minimal access, limited access and full access.

It's also possible to create an API key with custom access, using https://www.torn.com/preferences.php#tab=api?step=addNewKey with query parameters. These parameters are title and the separate sections, like user, where the value is a comma-separated list of selections.
Example: https://www.torn.com/preferences.php#tab=api?step=addNewKey&title=TornAPI&user=basic,bars,cooldowns,notifications&faction=basic,contributors&torn=bank
