REST API

REST API

In TNE's Web Module, we provide a REST API, which allows external applications to interact with a server that uses TNE for its economy. The most notable interaction is through the Official TNE Android app. This page outlines the various API functionality and documents the correct usage.

Security

In order to keep every server's economy as secure as possibly, all interactions with the API will require a user's SessionID, which is obtained through a SessionCreationRequest. Please note: Session IDs expire after 30 minutes.

Requests

The following documents every request, also referred as API method in this page, that is supported in the REST API. Each with the appropriate API version. Please use the correct URL, as listed below, for the correct API version.

API Version BASE URL to send request
v1 /api-v1/

Definitions

We use some definitions on this page to describe various parts of the API, and how to properly use it. For your convenience, and to make everything as clear as possible, below is a table of definitions used throughout this page that may be confusing to some individuals.

Word Definition
Object An object is a JSON-formatted message sent to the API URL, or received during a response from the API.

Standard Object Parameters

Every object used to call an API method should contain the following parameters.

Name Description
SessionID The UUID, in string format, obtained from the SessionCreationRequest.
Controller The UUID, in string format, that corresponds to the account used in SessionCreationRequest.

Response Status Object

Every response object will minimally have a Response Status Object. This object contains predefined types notated as a "status."

Status Definition
FAILED The call to the API method returned a failed response, which means you won't receive the anticipated object.
SUCCESS The call to the API method was successful, and has returned the correct response object.
INSECURE The provided Session ID does not match the username provided in the SessionID, and controller parameters.

Session Creation Request

The session creation request is used to properly identify the owner of the account that you wish to use for your calls to the REST API. This is used to prevent malicious players from freely interacting with the API, without haven't the relevant permissions on the server. I.e. players can't use the API to give other players money without having the permission node for the /money give command.
