API Documentation
This documentation provides a comprehensive overview of the Game Server API endpoints for server management, authentication, configuration, and monitoring.
Table of Contents
- Authentication
- Server Management
- Configuration
- Backups
- Custom Detections
- Real-time Events (SSE)
- Postman Collections
Some endpoints use GET even though other types might be more adequate. This will be addressed.
Authentication
Authentication is required for most API endpoints. Use the login endpoint to obtain an authentication token.
Endpoint | Method | Description |

Authentication
[!IMPORTANT] If auth is enabled, an access token cookie is required for most API endpoints. Only the login endpoint is public. Use the >login endpoint to obtain an authentication token. If auth is disabled, the Middleware skip the cookie check and the whole API will be public.
Endpoint | Method | Description |
---|---|---|
/auth/login |
POST | Authenticate and obtain an access token cookie |
Example Request
{
