GameHostCloud API Overview

Updated 2026-09-09

GameHostCloud REST API

Overview

The GameHostCloud API lets you list your servers, read your account and balance, and start, stop, restart or force-stop a server from your own scripts.

Base URL

All endpoints live under a single gateway:

https://<your-project>.supabase.co/functions/v1/api-gateway

The exact base URL for your account is shown in Dashboard → Settings → API keys → Documentation.

Authentication

Every request needs your API key in the x-api-key header:

curl -H "x-api-key: ghc_your_key_here" \
  "https://<your-project>.supabase.co/functions/v1/api-gateway/servers"

Creating API keys

Dashboard → Settings → API keys
Click Generate new key
Choose the permissions and an optional expiry date
Copy the key — it is shown only once

Permissions

Permission	Description
`servers:read`	List and view servers
`servers:control`	Start, stop, restart and force-stop servers
`billing:read`	View your balance
`account:read`	View your account details

Endpoints

Method	Endpoint	Permission
GET	`/servers?limit=50&offset=0`	`servers:read`
GET	`/servers/{id}`	`servers:read`
POST	`/servers/{id}/start`	`servers:control`
POST	`/servers/{id}/stop`	`servers:control`
POST	`/servers/{id}/restart`	`servers:control`
POST	`/servers/{id}/kill`	`servers:control`
GET	`/account`	`account:read`
GET	`/balance`	`billing:read`

Listings return at most 100 rows per page; use limit and offset to page through them.

Rate limits and abuse protection

The API is protected in several layers so that a flood of requests cannot slow the service down for anyone else.

Limit	Value
Requests per API key	120 / minute, 40 / 10 seconds, 3 000 / hour
Control actions (start, stop, restart, kill)	20 / minute, 5 / 10 seconds
Simultaneous requests per API key	8
Requests before authentication (per IP address)	120 / minute, 30 / 10 seconds
Failed or missing API keys (per IP address)	20 / 5 minutes
Request body size	64 kB

Successful responses carry X-RateLimit-Limit, X-RateLimit-Remaining and X-RateLimit-Reset. When a limit is exceeded you get HTTP 429 with a Retry-After header — wait for that many seconds before retrying, and back off instead of retrying in a tight loop.

Only GET, POST and OPTIONS are accepted; any other method returns 405.

Error codes

Code	Meaning
400	Unknown endpoint for this resource
401	Invalid or missing API key
403	Insufficient permissions
404	Resource not found
405	Method not allowed
413	Request body larger than 64 kB
429	Rate limit exceeded — see `Retry-After`
500	Server error
