Support Elixir

Elixir is free to use and independently run. Keeping it going takes storage, compute, APIs, AI services, and collection that never stops. If the record is useful to you, you can help pay for it.

Sponsor Elixir on GitHub Run a Collector

Voluntary, and that is the whole arrangement: no extra quota, no longer retention, no features, no priority. Supercell’s Fan Content Policy forbids selling access — and we would not want to sell it anyway.

Clash Royale forgets. Elixir remembers.

What we collect ›

The game’s API answers now. It holds the last handful of battles, the current roster, a rolling window of war weeks — and everything older is gone, not archived. Elixir records history while it still exists, so the same question can be asked next season.

WHAT THE GAME’S API ELIXIR
Battles about the last 30 per player every battle recorded since 2026-01-03
Player history current snapshot only daily snapshots · 140,640 so far
Trophy progression current and best the whole curve, day by day
Deck usage not exposed derived from recorded battles
Clan history current roster roster read every 15 minutes
Clan wars rolling 20 weeks 347 war weeks and counting
No sponsor owns any part of the record. Sponsorship pays to keep the archive running; what is in it belongs to the people and clans who asked us to record them.

What sponsorship pays for

High level, and honestly mundane. This is the bill for keeping a record that grows every day.

Storage and backups
The corpus and its point-in-time backups grow every day and never shrink.
App and API infrastructure
The hub, the MCP endpoint, this site, and the queues behind them.
Continuous collection
Battle, player, clan and river-race polling that runs every few minutes.
AI and model usage
Agent-facing surfaces and the enrichment that runs over recorded history.
Monitoring and tooling
Alarms, request budgets, the operator console — how a gap gets noticed.
Long-term retention
Keeping history past the point the game's API drops it. That is the point.

GitHub Sponsors

github.com/sponsors/jthingelstad

Three suggested levels — not plans, and not a menu. They exist so the amount is easy to pick, and nothing about your Elixir account changes when you pick one.

Elixir Supporter $5 / month Help keep Elixir running and preserving Clash Royale history.
Elixir Steward $10 / month Cover a steady share of storage, collection and the daily running costs.
Elixir Sustainer $20 / month Additional support for the long-term operation and growth of Elixir.
Sponsor Elixir on GitHub Custom amounts and one-off sponsorships work the same way. Cancel whenever; nothing you rely on depends on it.

Contribute capacity instead

Collector

A Collector is a small process you run that fetches Clash Royale data on Elixir’s behalf and hands it to the hub. More Collectors means more of the game recorded, more often. Active Collectors do earn additional quota — that is capacity you contributed coming back to you, not a reward for paying.

Sponsorship supports the project financially. Collectors add to Elixir’s operating capacity. They are separate, and only one of them changes what the network can record.

Same numbers the Data page reads, from the same statistics endpoint — not a fundraising figure. Captured by 6 active collectors; the oldest recorded battle is from 2026-01-03.

Elixir is a free community project. Sponsorship is optional and gives no additional features, quota, retention, or access — at any amount. The record stays the same for everyone reading it.
