Pterodactyl API

This guide will show you how to use the Pterodactyl API to control your realms

What can the Pterodactyl API be used for

The Pterodactyl API can be used for various actions such as starting and stopping servers, retrieving a console output or modify files.

How do you use the API

In order to use the API, you first need to create an API key. An explanation for that can be found here.

To access the API, you need to provide the API key in the authorization header as a bearer token. Here's an example for a basic structure for an HTTP request in Python:

import requests 

PANEL_URL = "https://realms.cytooxien.de"
API_KEY = "<your api key>"

headers = {
    "Authorization": f"Bearer {API_KEY}",
    "Accept": "application/json",
    "Content-Type": "application/json"
}

url = f"{PANEL_URL}/api/client"
response = requests.get(url, headers=headers)

Here's an example of a use case of the API:

import requests 

PANEL_URL = "https://realms.cytooxien.de"
API_KEY = "<your api key>"

headers = {
    "Authorization": f"Bearer {API_KEY}",
    "Accept": "application/json",
    "Content-Type": "application/json"
}

url = f"{PANEL_URL}/api/client"
response = requests.get(url, headers=headers)

if response.status_code == 200:
    servers = response.json()["data"]
    for server in servers:
        print(f"Server Name: {server['attributes']['name']}, UUID: {server['attributes']['uuid']}")
else:
        print(f"Error: {response.status_code}, {response.text}")        

This will make an api request to retrieve the servers of a user.
