Would it be possible to have a player's elimination team name (or id number) included in the API results for player > profile?
This would be helpful in running reports on teams to see how the teams are doing. A full report on competition-only attacks would be wonderful, but I realize that's a lot more work for the devs. So if I can get the team assignations for players, I can at least see overall attacks won / lost.

It already exists, you need to wait for the competition to start. (Report from last year)
What would be nice tho would be to be able to see if a player belongs to the key owner team before elimination starts. The main use for it would be discord verification which currently can't be automated (except with in-game script that connects to the chat).
Case 1: player didn't join a team "competition": { "name": "Elimination", }
Case 2: player joined the same team as the key owner "competition": { "name": "Elimination", "score": 0, "team": "keyboard-warrior", "attacks": 0 }
Case 3: the player joined another team "competition": { "name": "Elimination", "score": 0, "team": "", "attacks": 0 }
That would be a nice addition to fight in-game border-line scripts.
This seems like one of those 5 minute developer changes that adds an immense amount of value to the playerbase while giving no real competition edge/advantage to any one team.
Would also be great to have this feature (saying if someone is in your team or not) in the competition section of the profile page, not just in the API :) but yeah, definitely need some way of verifying members without needing to make a script to scrape chat logs.

Before elim starts there's not much point of joining other teams servers except for extra memes and after elim starts automated verification will be available anyway. So it's really more about helping the team management to focus on relevant actions rather than switching back and forth from websites to check who's who... But yeah I get what you mean.
Works great tho I have a small remark. In the user profile section "team" relates to the human readable name (ie "Keyboard Warrior") where in the torn section we have "team" -> "keyboard-warrior" and "name" -> "Keyboard Warrior".
It's a small remark but I think it's worth mentioning.
Thanks for the very quick response ched! It's appreciated.
It seems this isn't going to be possible this year, the caching system is occasionally revealing a player's team to outsiders. There's a new rebuilt version we've had to create for the API permissions project that'll be live later on which will resolve this caching problem.
