API

From Tycoon Gaming

Transport Tycoon API

The api for TT follows a few standard principles:

  • Certain routes will return different data based on server
  • Every server requires a different URL to fetch data from, instead of one standardized URL
  • Every route uses the /status endpoint

Available servers

Note: Secondary adress listings are the cfx.re proxy- usage is the same.

[LITE] Transportation Runs a different gamemode, does not respond to standard Transport Tycoon API calls. sessionmanager/players.json will fetch a list of players.

Server list CDN file

On 19 June 2021, Tycoon's CDN now hosts a permanent JSON file that returns a list of servers, their player information endpoint, and a template for formatting API URL calls to each server. In addition to the main Transport Tycoon servers, it also includes information for the [LITE] Transportation server. The file is permanent and available at https://cdn.tycoon.community/servers.json.

API Keys

TL;DR: Create a new key using /api key new

Add charges using /api key refill (adds 1000 charges for $1M)

The API requires an API Key to access most features.

Each key has a limited amount of API calls (also called charges), which are consumed every time an API call is made using the key. Additional charges can be purchased in game using the /api key refill command at the cost of $1000 (in-game money) per charge. Any user can generate an API key; this key is said user's private key. (Make sure you keep it safe!) To generate a key, use the /api key new command in game. If you already have a key generated, the old one will be deleted and a new one will take its place. When you generate a key for the first time, it will come with some free charges allowing you to test the API for free. The API key can be copied using the /api key copy command, which will display the key for you to copy to your clipboard. Any user with a linked Discord account will receive a Discord role upon refilling their keys.

Privacy related options

As the API has become more and more commonly used, it is now possible to restrict access to your player/personal data so that only your API key can query it. In order to restrict access, do /api lock in game, and privacy will be enabled.

API Endpoints

General notes

  • API keys should be sent as headers, like such: X-Tycoon-Key: [api-key]
  • Each endpoint here will mention if a key is required to be used. Note that currently, every route which requires a key will only use 1 charge per request.
  • Typically, this data is returned as JSON, unless explicitly mentioned.
  • Most routes will have a response header called X-Tycoon-Charges, which will give you the number of charges remaining after the request.

Standard status codes

  • 401 Unauthorized - An API key is required for the route
  • 402 Payment Required - No API charges remaining
  • 403 Forbidden - Invalid API key
  • 404 Not Found - Invalid API route
