title: API

Resources

Responses and Error Handling

If there is an error, the response will be JSON similar to the following with a non-200 status code:

{
    "success": false,
    "error": "The error message"
}

Successful GET requests will return the resource's information directly as a JSON response.

Other successful results will return a dictionary with success equaling true, and often other keys with information. For example:

{
    "success": true,
    "release": {
        /* same as returned by a GET */
    }
}

Paginated Results

Some API endpoints returns results in pages. The page number is specified using the page query argument, and the number of items is specified using num

The response will be a dictionary with the following keys:

  • page: page number, integer from 1 to max
  • per_page: number of items per page, same as n
  • page_count: number of pages
  • total: total number of results
  • urls: dictionary containing
    • next: url to next page
    • previous: url to previous page
  • items: array of items

curl https://content.minetest.net/api/whoami/ \
    -H "Authorization: Bearer YOURTOKEN"

Tokens can be attained by visiting Settings > API Tokens.
