Finding and Recovering Accounts

RoyaleAPI has a big database of Clash Royale players that can be useful to locate old accounts. Our search tools allow users to search accounts by name, while most other tools only allow you to use player tags.

Finding the player tag of an account (e.g.: #PQLPQLP), is usually the first step of the recovery process.

Name search engine

You can search by name in the main search bar of RoyaleAPI, or you can visit the dedicated search pageopen in new window.

This page will show the additional option of "Case-sensitive exact name match". Using this may be useful to narrow down search results.

Banned accounts

Banned accounts also appear through this name search tool, but will be displayed with a red "Banned" label to indicate their unavailable status.

Limitations

  1. Top 100 results

To prevent abuse, we only show the top 100 most relevant results. If this restriction is cutting out the account you are looking for, the case-sensitive toggle we mentioned earlier may help.

We can't provide you extented lists of search results.

  1. Untracked accounts

Not every account of the playerbase is available in our search engine. If an account has never been logged in RoyaleAPI, our search won't be able to find it.

Generally this means that accounts that have been inactive since 2018 are less likely to be available.

  1. Name changes

Our search engine is based on the last account name that we logged. This has 2 main implications:

  • Searching by old names won't find the account

  • If an account has been renamed since our last log, searching by current name won't find the account

Our recommendations

Other search paths

Player name search is the most straightforward way to find an account, but not the only one. Other potentially useful paths are:

  • Search by clan name

  • Look at old screenshots, some may be stored in cloud storage services

  • Ask your friends if the account is listed in their "Friend List"

Forget about the account

We regularly see players trying to recover old accounts that didn't have a meaningful amount of progress worth salvaging.

The Clash Royale economy has evolved and inflated a lot over the years. An account with several weeks of progress can now be matched with just a few days. For example, unlocking a Legendary card used to be a rare event, but nowadays it is fairly ordinary.

So in summary, don't be afraid to start from scratch, old progress has been devalued a lot over time.

RoyaleAPI isn't Supercell

RoyaleAPI creates content and tools for Clash Royale, but we aren't part of Supercell. This means that for account recovery or other issues related to the game, you should contact in-game support, not us.

This includedes but is not limited to:

  • Recovery of an old account

  • Account has been stolen or hacked

  • Issues with Supercell ID

  • Deleted accounts

  • Locked accounts that triggered account protection

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Can you help me find my account?

No, we can't deal with with individual requests. Our public tools are all we can provide.

Can you give me other details of my account?

No, that would interfere with Supercell's recovery process.

Can you help me recover my account?

No, only Supercell suport can do that. If you are unable to reach a human support agent, there's nothing we can do to help you.
