FF Logs

What FF Logs is

FF Logs provides combat analysis for Square Enix's Final Fantasy XIV. Players can record encounters, upload reports, and analyze combat in real time. The site offers raid progress, speed, and execution rankings, along with job balance statistics. Deaths Statistics show how often players die, which mechanics are involved, and the amount of overkill. It also supports match history, player profiles, team statistics, rankings, and live statistics. The homepage links to a downloadable app, and subscribers receive ad-free viewing within uploader applications. The public GraphQL v2 API uses client credentials; access to private reports through its private API requires user permission. API authentication uses OAuth 2.0.

Higher tiers include features such as access to reports more than two years old, increased API limits, and Discord roles or channels. FF Logs supports web, Windows, macOS, Linux, and API access.
