<cat>Dev.Backend</cat> <warning>This API is prone to changes at any time - and therefore this guide might go out of date. If something doesn't line up, it probably means the API was changed and that this page needs updating.</warning> This page is an analysis of the API used for the [dev site](https://sbox.facepunch.com/dev/) and the in-game menus; please be aware that this may change at any time and that none of this information is official. All endpoints are on the `https://apix.facepunch.com/api/` domain. To access the API, your requests **require** a header of `X-Api-Version` followed by the current version of the game (e.g. `'X-Api-Version':'25'`). # Types NOTE: Nullable types are suffixed with `?`. This API is subject to change and probably will do so before release. ## PackageType An enum specifying the different package types. Starting at 1: |Index |Name | |------|----------| | 1 | Map | | 2 | Gamemode | ## DownloadInfo An object containing a package's download type (where it's hosted, i.e. `github`), and the URL to access it.

This is the closest you can get: 1. Visit several endpoints (`/asset/find?type={map}|{gamemode}`, `/menu/index`) and collect a list of orgs with their gamemode idents 2. Search that list for an org that matches the ident we're looking for 3. Visit `/asset/get?id={org}.{ident}` 4. Get the title & description for the org from this ## Player Counts Player accounts appear to use the Steam Lobby API; this means that an active Steam instance is required, using an account with access to s&box. To enumerate through lobbies, use [Steamworks.SteamMatchmaking.LobbyList](https://wiki.facepunch.com/steamworks/SteamMatchmaking.LobbyList). ⤶ ## Getting S&box Commit Logs⤶ ⤶ <validate>The only way to get more than 50 results is iterating through pages with a for loop</validate>⤶ ⤶ Commits can be retrieved from the endpoint [`https://commits.facepunch.com/r/sbox?format=json`](https://commits.facepunch.com/r/sbox?format=json).⤶ By default, this will return 50 of the most recent commit logs since the beginning of S&Box. You can further narrow the search using one or a combination of the following parameters:⤶ ⤶ `branch`: Name of Branch (e.g. `listener`)⤶ ⤶ `user`: Name of User listed on commit (e.g. `Layla`)⤶ ⤶ `p` (pages): Skips 50 commits at a time from the latest commit. Index starts at 1. (e.g. `p=3` will skip the first 100 commits)⤶ ⤶ ⤶ If you want to search for an individual commit by ID (which can be found within the endpoint above), you can use the endpoint `https://commits.facepunch.com/` followed by the ID number of the commit log and a format type of JSON or RSS.⤶ ⤶ ### Example Request⤶ ⤶ `https://commits.facepunch.com/388723?format=json`⤶ This endpoint will get a single commit with the ID of `388723`.⤶ ⤶ ### Example Response⤶ ⤶ ```⤶ {⤶ "total":1,⤶ "skip":0,⤶ "take":50,⤶ "results":[⤶ {⤶ "id":388723,⤶ "repo":"sbox",⤶ "branch":"master",⤶ "changeset":"59343d",⤶ "created":"2021-08-09T19:50:03",⤶ "message":"Revert \u0022Rework VR spectator view to work on console view, still need to fix offset\u0022\n\nThis reverts commit 2f1fa0584ab9e4c52d2f9cc5cdbd7f37e86c9b36.",⤶ "user":{⤶ "name":"Sam",⤶ "avatar":"https://files.facepunch.com/web/avatar/486779-22063427.png"⤶ }⤶ }⤶ ]⤶ }⤶ ```⤶
