Proxies for Brawl Stars: API keys, ping and the Supercell rules

Brawl Stars has no proxy setting, so a proxy works around the game, not inside it. The clearest job is the Brawl Stars API. Every API key only works from the IP addresses you list. So a bot or a stats site on a changing address needs a fixed one. This page shows that setup, what a proxy does to ping, and what the Supercell rules say about VPNs, extra accounts and private servers.

What people mean by a Brawl Stars proxy

The searches that reach this page ask for five different things, and a proxy fits only one of them.

The Brawl Stars API needs a fixed IP

Supercell runs an official API that gives "near realtime access to game related data" to community tools, apps and websites. Open-source clients such as brawlstats read players, clubs, rankings, brawlers and the event rotation from it. Its developer site sets one rule that matters here: "When creating a key you need to specify the IP addresses that are allowed to access the API endpoints."

The same site adds that the token "is bound to rate limitations and specified IP addresses, so you will need a web server to fetch data from the API and host your application." The key form also rejects any address in a private range. It also holds only a short list: five addresses, unless an account has a higher limit, by the code of the site.

We called the API from our own server on 27 September 2026. Without a key it answered 403 with "Missing authorization", and with a made-up key 403 with "Invalid authorization". The API and the game hosts both resolved to addresses registered to Amazon.

Where it breaks. A key made for one address fails from any other. So a home connection, or a host whose outgoing address changes, needs a new key after every change.

The fix is one fixed address. Send every API call through a proxy whose exit IP never changes. Then list that IP on the key. Our static ISP proxies cost $2.70 per IP for a month, and datacenter IPv4 costs $1.58 per IP for a month. Rotating residential traffic, from $0.44/GB, changes its IP by design, so it cannot match a key.

A free community route exists too. RoyaleAPI documents a proxy for the Supercell APIs, Brawl Stars included, "If your server does not have a static IP address". You list its address on your key and send your calls to its host instead of the official one. Your key and every request then pass through a service that someone else runs.

How to call the API through a static proxy

1. Buy one static IP and note its address.
2. Create a key on the Brawl Stars developer site and enter that address under "Allowed IP Addresses".
3. Send every request through the proxy, with the key in the Authorization header.

In Python, with the requests library:

import requests

TOKEN = "your API key"
PROXY = "http://USER:PASS@PROXY_HOST:PORT"  # the static proxy whose IP is on the key

r = requests.get(
    "https://api.brawlstars.com/v1/players/%23YOURTAG",
    headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {TOKEN}"},
    proxies={"https": PROXY},
    timeout=10,
)
print(r.status_code, r.json())

The same call with curl:

curl -x "http://USER:PASS@PROXY_HOST:PORT" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
  "https://api.brawlstars.com/v1/players/%23YOURTAG"

Write the "#" of a player tag as "%23". The URL standard, RFC 3986, ends the path at the first "#", so a raw one cuts the tag off before the request leaves. Our guides to proxies with Python requests and proxies with curl cover the proxy settings in more depth.

Why a proxy will not lower your ping

The Supercell support site is plain about servers: "By default, you will be connected to the server closest to your location." When no match comes quickly, or you play with friends in another region, the game may move you to the next best server.

A proxy or a VPN adds a stop between your phone and that server, so it adds delay. Slow matchmaking has its own causes. Supercell lists your rating, the number of players in your server location and the brawler you picked. A proxy changes none of them.

What the Supercell rules say

We read the Supercell Terms of Service (effective 6 November 2024), the Safe and Fair Play policy and the Brawl Stars support articles on 27 September 2026. They do not name VPNs or proxies. They do draw these lines:

• One account per device, unless you use Supercell ID. The terms say "Unless you are using Supercell ID, the Service supports only one Account per game on a supported device." Support calls Supercell ID "the only supported method for playing several game accounts on the same device."
• No cheats, bots or emulators. The terms forbid "cheats, exploits, automation software, emulators, bots, hacks, mods or any unauthorized third-party software designed to modify or interfere with the Service."
• No shared or sold accounts. "Selling, buying, sharing, or giving game accounts to other players is against our Terms of Service." A shared account may be suspended or banned.
• No getting around the security of the service, and no use that breaks economic sanctions.
• No promise of every location. Supercell "does not warrant that you will be able to access or use the Service at the times or locations of your choosing."

So a proxy does not make extra accounts allowed, and it does not change how Supercell treats them.

Russia and Belarus

On 9 March 2022 Supercell removed its games from the app stores in Russia and Belarus. It said that access for existing players would end with the next client update. Brawl Stars was the first game cut off, in April 2022, and access to all Supercell games ended in spring 2023, as Game World Observer reported. In our Search Console data for this page, Russia sends the second most impressions of any country, after the United States. We do not cover ways around a block the publisher chose.

Nulls Brawl and its proxy

Searches for a "Nulls Brawl proxy" are about a relay run by the team behind Nulls Brawl, an unofficial private server for Brawl Stars. It is not a Supercell service. The Supercell Fan Content Policy answers "No." when asked about fan content made with private servers. The terms forbid modified game files and unauthorized third-party software, and the fair play policy answers prohibited third-party software with a permanent ban.

Before you buy

Try the setup before you pay for a static IP. Send one request through the proxy from your server and read the answer of the API. Then check the exit address in our proxy checker and compare it with the address on your key. Our guide on how to check if a proxy is working shows a check with curl and one with the checker.

A proxy from our free proxy list is fine for trying the code, and our page on whether free proxies are safe covers the risks. Its address changes, though, so it cannot sit on a key for long. For playing the game itself, a proxy is the wrong tool, as the sections above show.

The limits of this page

We did not create a developer account. So we could not show the error a key gives from an address it does not allow, or the rate limits of a key. Supercell publishes no list of server addresses and no network details for battles, so this page gives none. The RoyaleAPI page answered our server with a security check, so its text comes from an archive copy of 4 March 2026. The terms and policies can change, and this page is due for a check by 27 December 2026.
