Vanilla Dedicated Server API

The 1.0 release introduced two API endpoints to the base game’s dedicated servers.

  • Dedicated Server Lightweight Query API: a simple UDP protocol designed for polling the server state through UDP continuously with minimal overhead.

  • Dedicated Server HTTPS API: a HTTPS server serving the requests to retrieve the more detailed state of the server, and control it’s behavior.

The documentation for these APIs is provided in the DedicatedServerAPIDocs.md markdown file in the CommunityResources folder of your game install directory. In the interest of keeping this documentation up-to-date we will not be duplicating the API documentation here.
