# Minecraft API — Servers, Players & Community Data | MCStat.org

Use the free API to access Minecraft server listings, player profiles, live activity, rankings and community data for apps and bots.

Canonical HTML: https://mcstat.org/api-docs
Markdown URL: https://mcstat.org/api-docs.md
Base URL: https://mcstat.org/api/v1

## Authentication

All documented public API endpoints require an API key. Send your key in the X-API-Key header.

- **Request header** — Add this header to authenticate
  `X-API-Key: mcs_your_key_here`
- **Or as query parameter** — Or pass as query parameter
  `?api_key=mcs_your_key_here`

## Rate limits

Requests are authenticated by API key. A missing or invalid key returns HTTP 401, a disabled key returns HTTP 403, and an exceeded limit returns HTTP 429.

- **Without API key** — Not allowed
- **With API key** — 60 requests per minute, 1,000 per day and 30,000 per month by default. Exceeding a limit returns HTTP 429 with X-RateLimit-* headers showing your limits and a Retry-After telling you when the window resets. Higher limits can be granted per key on request.

Rate Limit Headers:  A 429 response carries X-RateLimit-Limit-Minute, X-RateLimit-Limit-Day, X-RateLimit-Remaining-Day, X-RateLimit-Limit-Month, X-RateLimit-Remaining-Month and Retry-After. Successful responses carry a Cache-Control header so you can safely cache results client-side.

## Response format

Every successful response is JSON with a {success} boolean and a {data} object. Errors use the same envelope with {success}: false.

Success response:

```json
{
  "success": true,
  "data": {
    "resource": {
      "id": "...",
      "name": "Example"
    }
  }
}
```

Error response:

```json
{
  "success": false,
  "error": "Too many requests"
}
```

## Errors

Standard HTTP status codes are used. Common cases:

| Code | Meaning |
| --- | --- |
| 400 | Bad request — invalid parameters |
| 401 | Unauthorized — missing or invalid API key |
| 403 | Forbidden — API key disabled |
| 404 | Not found — resource does not exist |
| 429 | Too many requests — rate limit exceeded |
| 500 | Internal server error — try again later |

## Try It

The browser playground proxies requests through `/api/v1/api-docs/test`, validates Cloudflare Turnstile, allows only documented GET endpoints, and applies IP-based rate limiting.
