Server: Games API

Uploading a Game

URL: https://api.lynxgamestore.com/games/upload
Method: POST
Encoding: multipart/form-data

This API requires a sessionid with an authenticated user. That way, the server will know and assign the current user as the creator. Learn how to get an authenticated sessionid in the Authentication API documentation.

curl -X POST -H "Cookie: sessionid=<your_sessionid>" -F "name=<game_title>" -F "description=<description>" -F "exepath=<path_to_exe>" -F 'gbin=@<path_to_zip_file>' https://api.lynxgamestore.com/games/upload

Listing All Games

URL: https://api.lynxgamestore.com/games/list
Method: GET

Get a list of game objects. This API currently returns all the games in the server, which could be more efficient. A future update will fix this.

curl https://api.lynxgamestore.com/games/list
