Where our data comes from
A high-level look at how the site works and what powers it — no jargon.
Everything you see on Gacha Tracker is built from public game data. Most of it is tied to your in-game UID — you link a game, we read what your account already shows publicly, and we turn it into a tidy profile plus the leaderboards. The banner and update schedules are different: they're game-wide and not tied to anyone's account. Here's the short version of where each piece comes from.
Your build data — Enka.Network
Your characters and their builds come from Enka.Network, a well-known community service that reads the public showcase each game already exposes. We look it up using only your public UID — there's no login, no password, and nothing private involved.
- Genshin Impact, Honkai: Star Rail, Zenless Zone Zero and Arknights: Endfield.
- Only the characters you've chosen to show in your in-game showcase appear.
- Your showcase has to be public in-game for us to see anything.
Names, icons & stats
Character names, portraits, weapon and relic details, and the labels for stats (like Crit Rate or ATK) come from the same public game data Enka.Network publishes. That's what lets us show readable build sheets instead of raw numbers and IDs.
What we build from it
- Your shareable profile at /u/your-handle, with a tab per linked game.
- Per-character build sheets (gear, light cones/weapons, stats and crit).
- Leaderboards — completeness, per-game crit value, cross-game totals and more — computed from the builds you've synced.
Banners & updates schedule
The Banners page shows the current and upcoming wish/signal/convene banners for each game. This is game-wide schedule data — not tied to any account or UID — and comes from HoYoverse's own event calendar, read through the community hoyoverse-api relay. We cache it briefly and refresh it in the background. Banner start and end times follow each game's server timezone, so the final hours are approximate.
Keeping it fresh
Background jobs re-sync your linked accounts on a schedule, and you can refresh any account manually from your dashboard. Leaderboards recompute periodically from the latest synced data.
What we never do
We only use official or public sources. We never ask for your game login, scrape session cookies, run browser extensions, or read screenshots. For the finer detail, see Data & tokens and our Privacy Policy.
