MC-REST-API

Keep in mind that this project is in beta. So there could be breaking changes.

All issues should be reported.

ToDo

• Website Documentation with live testing (Searching for help for this)
• Name->UUID Basic feature
• Cache it for ten minutes
• Cache with configurable amount of time (and visible in the json format)
• Persistent database (visible in the JSON format)
• Configurable different source IPs sending the request to Mojang
• Skin API
• Avater API Skin/Head
• Server Ping API (i.e. icon only)
• SRV Resolve
• Has paid API
• Web stats
• Name History API
• Server Query API
• Support for MCPE servers
• Server version mapping
• Plugin API
• Buycraft API
• Is up query
• Multiple Name resolve requests
• Wait some milliseconds to make concat some requests into a single one
• Master-Slave support?
• Random requests
• UUID -> Name resolve
• Validate input requests
• Banner Generator (skin and head)
• Votifier API
• Blocked server query
• Ban API
• Legacy (Mojang like routes and responses)
• Mojang Assets, Status API
• Caching (and cache headers) for images
• Configurable HTTP-Proxies
• Unit test the request handling

Goals

• Workaround rate-limiting by global caching and using http-proxies
• Flexible API (if you have suggestions let us know)
• Developer friendly, clear responses -> i.e. NOT returning a cracked player response if there is a issue with our servers
• Open Source
• Open for changes and suggestions
• Simulate a Mojang API out of the box

Setup

1. Clone this project
2. Run composer install or as a developer composer install --dev
3. Make a .env for local configuration
4. Check the configuration settings
5. Let your webserver point to the public directory
6. Start the all the necessary servers (i.e. MySQL, memcache, redis, NGINX...)
7. Setup the database structure: php artisan migrate

Development

Framework documentation: https://lumen.laravel.com/docs/5.2

Update model documentation

php artisan ide-helper:models yes

Update auto complete documentation for IDE

php artisan ide-helper:generate

Change the database schema (add or change table structure)
