Lobby HTTP API

Recently, we added a standard json-based REST HTTP API to make getting the list of Soldat servers much easier for third party applications, compared to the legacy Client-Lobby_Protocol.

• URL: http://api.soldat.pl (https is also supported)
• CORS headers are present so this can be used via ajax.
• Forum thread where this was originally announced

List all servers, with filters

http://api.soldat.pl/v0/servers

List all Soldat servers. You can provide a combination of these GET parameters as filters:

 ?os=linux|mac|windows
 ?gamestyle=DM|PM|TM|CTF|RM|INF|HTF
 ?country=US|DE|...
 ?version=1.7.1|1.6.1|...
 ?empty=yes|no
 ?full=yes|no
 ?bots=yes|no
 ?private=yes|no
 ?realistic=yes|no
 ?survival=yes|no
 ?advanced=yes|no

Example URL filtering servers that aren't empty and don't have bots:

http://api.soldat.pl/v0/servers?empty=no&bots=no

Get players for a server

http://api.soldat.pl/v0/server/$ip/$port/players

This will make the lobby use the file download protocol to grab that server's gamestat.txt file and parse and display the players currently in the server. FYI: This makes use of caching to prevent abuse.

Example response:

{
   "Players": [
       "/././a.d.i.d.a.s/././",
       "Alvarez",
       "Freedom Fighter",
       "Guenther Gummibrot",
       "summer camp",
       "|TPF. GottenSikici"
   ]
}
