GRID Esports, the official esports and gaming data platform, is pleased to launch its GRID Open Platform which will provide access to high-quality esports and gaming data for free. As the first of its kind, the GRID Open Platform has been created from a vision to enable community-driven innovation. Developers and fans looking to build data-driven products will be able to sign up to the platform and access data from 70+ esports data rights holders including BLAST, Epic Events, and WePlay Holding.
GRID Open Platform is the next step toward achieving GRID’s vision of sustainable growth across the ecosystem, facilitating the relationship between official rights holders and their communities. With access to accurate, only official data across esports and gaming, otherwise inaccessible for independent developers, GRID has identified the need for the Open Platform and now aims to inspire ground-breaking innovation that translates into the long term growth of the entire industry.
