Integration Guide
Review the API Documentation
Visit the official Minecraft Server Status documentation to understand available endpoints, request formats, and response structures. Familiarize yourself with the API's rate limits and usage policies before integration.
No Authentication Required
Good news — Minecraft Server Status does not require any authentication. You can start making API requests directly without registering for an API key or setting up OAuth credentials.
Use HTTPS for Secure Requests
Minecraft Server Status supports HTTPS, ensuring encrypted communication. Always use HTTPS endpoints in production to protect data in transit and comply with modern web security standards.
No CORS — Use a Backend Proxy
Minecraft Server Status does not support CORS. To use it in a browser-based app, set up a backend proxy server that forwards requests to the API and returns the response with appropriate CORS headers.
Implement and Test
Write your API integration code, start with a simple test request to verify connectivity. Implement proper error handling for network failures, rate limits, and invalid responses. Monitor your API usage to stay within any limits.
Code Examples
JavaScript / Fetch API:
// JavaScript example
fetch("https://api.mcsrvstat.us")
.then(response => {
if (!response.ok) {
throw new Error(`HTTP error! status: ${response.status}`);
}
return response.json();
})
.then(data => {
console.log("API response:", data);
})
.catch(error => {
console.error("Error fetching from Minecraft Server Status:", error);
});Python / Requests:
# Python example
import requests
response = requests.get("https://api.mcsrvstat.us")
if response.status_code == 200:
data = response.json()
print("API response:", data)
else:
print(f"Error: {response.status_code}")
