Example captured 2026-06-09 · Rodri · auto contrast vs Florian Wirtz anchor · engine picks type (users cannot force fraud/contrast on frontend either — audit §1.2).

Data & usage policy

RT Developer API returns processed football intelligence — seasonal per-90 metrics, cohort percentiles, DNA similarity, verdicts, and shareable PNG cards. You send player identity and options; RT resolves all stat values server-side.

Underlying match and seasonal statistics are licensed from third-party sports data providers and transformed by RT. Display RT as the data source in your integration; follow your agreement if provider attribution is required.
