CRCON API

There is an API for CRCON available at :

• http://(your VPS IP):8010/api/ (sending API commands to the CRCON for the first -or only- game server)
• http://(your VPS IP):8011/api/ (for the second game server)
• ...

CRCON API Endpoint Documentation

As of CRCON v11.1.0, there is 278 endpoints available.

You'll find the complete list of available endpoints here : http://(your VPS IP):8010/api/get_api_documentation

For each entry, you'll get :

• endpoint name
• required arguments and types
• API command return type
• description
• auto_settings_capable indicator
• allowed HTTP request method (either POST or GET)

ie, for add_map_to_rotation :

    {
      "endpoint": "add_map_to_rotation",
      "arguments": {
        "map_name": {
          "default": null,
          "annotation": "<class 'str'>"
        },
        "after_map_name": {
          "default": "None",
          "annotation": "str | None"
        },
        "after_map_name_number": {
          "default": "None",
          "annotation": "int | None"
        }
      },
      "return_type": "<class 'str'>",
      "doc_string": null,
      "auto_settings_capable": true,
      "allowed_http_methods": [
        "POST"
      ]
    },

Create API tokens

Most API endpoints require user authentication through an API token.

You can generate an API token in the admin panel.

Note

The CRCON admin interface can be reached from all over the world, in any web browser.
For example (replace 123.123.123.123 with your VPS IP) :

• Server 1 : http://123.123.123.123:8010/admin
• Server 2 : http://123.123.123.123:8011/admin
• Server 3 : http://123.123.123.123:8012/admin

Each token you'll create will get the permissions of the user it belongs.
We advise you to create dedicated users for each API token you'll use, so you'll be able to give them specific permissions.

Create User

Create new user with permissions you wish for the API key to have.

1. Login to the Admin interface at http://(your VPS IP):8010/admin
2. Click the '+Add' link, next to users
3. Enter username and password and click Save and continue editing

• The password can be random and forgotten, Steam ID isn't required.

4. Ensure that the account has the Active checkbox checked.
5. Provide permission to user

• You can give specific permissions to each user via the Permissions section or Groups.
• If you want your API token to have full permissions, give "superuser" status to the user.

6. Save your new user account.

Create an API Key

1. Login to the Admin interface at http://(your VPS IP):8010/admin
2. Click the +Add link, next to Django API Keys

Important

The API key will be provided in next step, make sure you copy this down and save it. You will not see it again.

3. Fill out API details and click Save

• Select the user that will own the API Key.
• Add notes (great for tracking API keys)
