Age of Empires II API

A self-hosted REST API serving Age of Empires II game metadata — civilization bonuses, unit stats, technology effects, and structures. Look up any entity by numeric ID or by name. Powers the /aoe2 command in Storehaus and our own AoE II Encyclopedia.

Base URL: https://aoe2api.teamrespawntv.com/

Endpoints

Method	Endpoint	Description
GET	`/`	API info and example requests
GET	`/civilizations`	List all civilizations
GET	`/civilization/:id`	One civilization, by numeric ID or name
GET	`/units`	List all units
GET	`/unit/:id`	One unit, by numeric ID or name
GET	`/structures`	List all structures
GET	`/structure/:id`	One structure, by numeric ID or name
GET	`/technologies`	List all technologies
GET	`/technology/:id`	One technology, by numeric ID or name

:id accepts either the numeric ID or the entity's name, case-insensitive, with spaces written as a hyphen or underscore — e.g. /civilization/2 and /civilization/britons return the same civilization, and /technology/thumb-ring or /unit/chu_ko_nu both work.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need an API key to use these APIs?

No. Both the Halo Quotes API and the Age of Empires II API are free and public — no API key, token, or sign-up required. Just make a GET request.

Is there a rate limit?

Neither API publishes a hard rate limit today, but please be a good citizen: cache responses where you can and avoid hammering either endpoint in a tight loop.

Can I call these APIs from client-side JavaScript?

Yes. Both APIs send an Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * header, so they can be called directly from browser code as well as from servers, bots, and CLI tools.

What format do responses come back in?

Plain JSON over HTTPS. Every endpoint responds with Content-Type: application/json.

Are these APIs open source?

Yes. Both are open source on GitHub, so you can read the source, file an issue, or self-host your own copy instead of depending on our instance.

Is there a UI to browse the same data without writing code?

For AoE II, yes — our AoE II Encyclopedia page browses the same civilization, unit, technology, and structure data as the API. Halo Quotes has its own public website for browsing quotes.

These APIs are two of several open-source tools we build for the RTS and Halo communities, alongside Storehaus, our multi-game Discord bot.
