API Reference

Hyperscape game server API endpoints and WebSocket events

Overview

The Hyperscape server exposes both REST and WebSocket APIs for game interactions.

The API is primarily designed for internal use by the game client and ElizaOS agents. Direct API access requires authentication.

Base URL

Production

https://api.hyperscape.lol

Authentication

All authenticated endpoints require a Bearer token in the Authorization header:

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer <your-token>" \
  https://api.hyperscape.lol/api/v1/player

Authorization · string · required

Bearer token obtained from Privy authentication

Endpoints

Health Check

GET /health · endpoint

Returns server health status

curl https://api.hyperscape.lol/health

Response

{
  "status": "ok",
  "timestamp": "2025-01-05T12:00:00Z",
  "version": "1.0.0"
}

Player

GET /api/v1/player · endpoint

Get current player information

POST /api/v1/player · endpoint

Create or update player

World State

GET /api/v1/world · endpoint

Get current world state snapshot

GET /api/v1/world/areas · endpoint

List all world areas

Admin Endpoints

Admin endpoints require the x-admin-code header with a valid admin code. These are for server management only.

POST /admin/graceful-restart · endpoint

Request server restart after current duel ends (zero-downtime deployment)

curl -X POST https://api.hyperscape.lol/admin/graceful-restart \
  -H "x-admin-code: YOUR_ADMIN_CODE"

Response

{
  "success": true,
  "message": "Graceful restart requested",
  "duelActive": true,
  "willRestartAfterDuel": true
}

GET /admin/restart-status · endpoint

Check if graceful restart is pending

curl https://api.hyperscape.lol/admin/restart-status \
  -H "x-admin-code: YOUR_ADMIN_CODE"

Response

{
  "restartPending": true,
  "duelActive": true,
  "currentPhase": "FIGHTING"
}

Graceful Restart Behavior:

• If no duel active: restarts immediately via SIGTERM
• If duel in progress: waits until RESOLUTION phase completes
• PM2 automatically restarts the server with new code
• Enables zero-downtime deployments for the duel arena stream

WebSocket Events

Connect to the game server via WebSocket for real-time updates:

const ws = new WebSocket('wss://api.hyperscape.lol/ws');

ws.onmessage = (event) => {
  const data = JSON.parse(event.data);
  console.log('Received:', data);
};
