- "RIOT is a database that aggregates scraped comms data.

Using it, Resistance agents can query:

- all the portals belonging to a specified agent, including the dates on which those portals were captured
- upcoming Guardian portal candidates for a given region
- an agent's home portal and start date

Additional applications exist that enable authorized RES agents to:

- launch their own distributed scraping engines
- receive real time alerts on data not available via intel review, such as VRLA and hack mod deployment
- identify clusters of L7 and L8 portals (farms)

The functionality that drives these features and their use are violations of the Niantic Terms of Service.

A minimum of 680 RES agents are currently making use of these features. They include Niantic employees, Vanguards, and anomaly POCs.
