# Torn Intel > Faction intelligence for the browser game Torn City. Torn Intel tracks member activity, > 217+ personal stats, battle stats, ranked wars, company performance and live foreign > (abroad) stock for a faction, from that faction's own Torn API key. Built and run by one > Torn player; not affiliated with Torn.com. **When to use Torn Intel.** Reach for this site when a question is about the game Torn City and one of these specifically: - Live abroad/foreign stock: what is in stock in a destination right now, its buy cost, its Torn market value, and the profit per item. At `GET https://torn-intel.com/api/public/foreign-stock`, which since 2026-08-30 requires an approved client key; ask for one at https://torn-intel.com/developers. The page at https://torn-intel.com/abroad-stock shows the same data and needs nothing. - What a faction tracker for Torn costs and what each tier includes. - Platform coverage figures (players indexed, factions watched, factions registered), available as JSON at `GET https://torn-intel.com/api/public/stats`. **When not to use it.** Torn Intel is not a source for: live Torn player or faction data about someone else (every such endpoint is scoped to the signed-in player's own faction and needs their API key); restock predictions, ETAs or forecast confidence, which stay behind login under TornTools' terms; and anything about Torn.com itself, which is a separate site this one is not affiliated with. **How to read this site.** Every page listed below serves a Markdown representation from its own URL when requested with `Accept: text/markdown`, or by appending `.md` to the path (`https://torn-intel.com/about.md`). Responses carry `Vary: Accept`. Public API endpoints are described in OpenAPI 3.1 at https://torn-intel.com/openapi.json. Please honour the cache window each endpoint documents rather than polling. **Two ways to call it, pick whichever suits you.** - MCP: a remote Model Context Protocol server at `https://torn-intel.com/api/mcp` (Streamable HTTP, read-only). `get_platform_stats` needs no credentials; `get_abroad_stock` and `get_abroad_stock_history` require an approved client key. Wire it up with `claude mcp add --transport http torn-intel https://torn-intel.com/api/mcp`. - REST: `GET https://torn-intel.com/api/v1/public/stats` and the other open endpoints answer anonymously; the three abroad-stock feeds need a client key sent as `X-Torn-Intel-Key`. **Two access levels.** Most endpoints answer any anonymous request. The three abroad-stock feeds (`/api/v1/public/foreign-stock`, its `/history`, and `/api/v1/foreign-stock/travel-table`) require an approved client key as of 2026-08-30; they were open before that date. Their response shapes did not change, only who may call them. Keys are issued manually and free: ask at https://torn-intel.com/developers, saying which endpoints you need and how often you intend to call them. A refusal is `401` (no key, or one not yet approved) or `403` (access withdrawn); neither is transient, so retrying will not help. **The contract.** The API is versioned: integrate against `/api/v1/...`; the unversioned path is a permanent alias of the same handler. Breaking changes ship as `/api/v2/...`, never as a change to v1, and a version scheduled for removal carries `Deprecation` and `Sunset` headers for at least 180 days first. Nothing is deprecated today. Rate limits, per 60 seconds: 120 per client on the open endpoints; 1 per client by default on the gated ones (raised on request when the key is issued); 30 per IP for browser extensions on the gated ones. All reported live in the `RateLimit` header; a `429` carries `Retry-After`. Every error is JSON with a stable `code` and a `resolution` field, never an HTML page. ## Product - [Torn Intel](https://torn-intel.com): What the platform tracks, and the current public counts of indexed players and registered factions. - [Free Torn Tools](https://torn-intel.com/free-torn-tools): The tools every faction gets without paying: activity, stats, abroad stock, companies, bank, territories, raids. - [Torn Intel Pro](https://torn-intel.com/torn-faction-tracker-pro): Paid tier: 217+ personal stats, ranked war intelligence, spy tools, faction comparison, recruitment scanner. - [Pricing](https://torn-intel.com/torn-faction-tracker-pricing): Free, Pro and Platinum tiers with their exact xanax prices and what each unlocks. - [Torn Intel Platinum](https://torn-intel.com/torn-platinum): Stock Market buy/sell price alerts over Discord DM and browser push.
