FFScouter is a free tool. It is a tool designed to help estimate the difficulty and battle stats of your opponents. Using this tool will not expose any information about yourself to other players, nor will you be able to view information about others except battle stat estimates. Your actual battle stats, and those of others, will remain private and are not stored in the raw form (see bss_private definition below). Any stat estimates made are available for any person or group to access and use, free of charge, for any purpose.
FFScouter is not affiliated with Torn, it is an independent community tool.

Regardless of the key access level from this list, the same data/functionality is provided:
|
Torn API selections requested (Core FFScouter): basic, battlestats, attacks, hof
Additional selections (Post 16th September 2025): profile, cooldowns, refills, faction (members, rankedwarreport, warfare, wars, rankedwars), torn (rankedwarreport, rankedwars)
Data Stored: player_id, bss_private (*), bss_private_timestamp (*), bss_public (**), bss_public_timestamp (**), API key, created_at, last_updated
Basis for request selections:
Attack history is used with your bss_private (a score only you can see and is stored on FFScouter) to estimate opponents' bss_public (a score everyone can see). We never store who updated a public score, except temporarily to help diagnose any errors we encounter and will share it with Torn Admins. This will be deleted when it is no longer required, but no later than 30 days after it was saved in any case.
Your attack logs are not saved to the database at any point; they are deleted once analysed (usually within 1–2 seconds of a request being made using your key, exceptionally up to 10 seconds). Attack logs are never saved to the database, shared, or sold.
(*) Your bss_private is calculated from your battle stats using the formula found on the Torn Wiki (Fair fights). It is stored by FFScouter to provide you with an accurate estimated "Fair Fight" score of your opponent. It is never visible to other users, sold, shared or used except to enable you to use the service. The bss_private_timestamp is used to schedule updates to your bss_private score by storing the last time it was updated.
(**) Your bss_private is then used, alongside the Fair Fight score from each attack requested, to estimate the bss_public of your opponents where they are known (i.e. not stealthed). This bss_public is stored against their profile, but with the exception of fixing bugs (noted above), we do not store that your score provided this estimate. A bss_public also has a "bss_public_timestamp" associated with it, so we know when it was last updated to prevent old estimates replacing newer ones.
Your own bss_public is not updated by registering for this service. You will likely have a bss_public even if you never sign up to FFScouter, as this data is generated by the estimates of other users. You may view your own stat estimates when using FFScouter by requesting it for your own ID.
Warning: This action is irreversible. Once you remove your API key and private information, you will be unable to use FFScouter until you sign up again with a new API key. This also does not remove your data from the volunteer data gathering service if you have signed up for it.
Your public stat estimates (if any) and your player_id will remain in the database as they are generated by other users, all other data will be removed immediately.
Using this form will remove all of your API keys and private information from the database. If you wish to remove an individual API key, do this by disabling it in the Torn API Settings page. This also does not remove your data from the volunteer data gathering service if you have signed up for it, which must be done via the volunteer data gathering service page.
