ExAPI – Secure HTTP Bridge for Minecraft Servers
ExAPI by ExStudios is a production-ready API bridge for Minecraft servers running Paper 1.19+ (tested on 1.21.5).
It allows external apps like Discord bots, dashboards, and AI services to securely request real-time server data through configurable HTTP endpoints.
✦ Key Features
• Embedded HTTP server inside the plugin
• Secure API key authentication (Bearer token)
• Fully configurable endpoints in config.yml
• Field-level data toggles per endpoint
• Optional Vault economy support
• Rate limiting per IP
• Optional IP whitelist
• Bind to localhost for extra security
• Async-safe execution
• Clean architecture & scalable codebase
• JSON responses for easy integration
✦ Supported Endpoints
All endpoints can be enabled or disabled individually.
• /server – MOTD, version, players, max players
• /players – Online player list
• /player/{uuid} – Detailed player info
• /tps – Server TPS
• /economy/{player} – Balance (if Vault installed)
• /plugins – Installed plugins
• /custom – User-defined data
✦ Player Data Options
Each field can be toggled in config:
• Username • UUID • Health • Food • Location • World • Gamemode • Ping • Permissions
✦ Security
• API key required for all requests • Rate limiting • Optional IP whitelist • Localhost-only binding • No main-thread blocking
Designed for public dashboards and bot integrations without exposing your server.
✦ Example Use Cases
• Discord bot showing server stats • Web dashboard with live player info • AI admin assistant reading server data • Network monitoring tools • Mobile app server status
✦ Example Request
GET /server
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY
Response:
{
"motd": "Welcome",
"version": "1.21.5",
"onlinePlayers": 12,
"maxPlayers": 100
}
✦ Requirements
• Java 17+ • Paper / Spigot 1.19+ • Optional: Vault for economy
✦ Why ExAPI?
Most plugins expose data through commands or unsafe sockets. ExAPI provides a clean, secure, configurable HTTP API designed for real integrations.
