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 */
}
}
Authentication
Not all endpoints require authentication, but it is done using Bearer tokens:
curl https://content.minetest.net/api/whoami/ \
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOURTOKEN"
Tokens can be attained by visiting Settings > API Tokens.
- GET
