aternosapi

An API I made in C++ to manage Aternos hosted Minecraft servers.

Building

Dependencies:
cmake: Used to build the project.
quickjs: Used to evaluate AJAX_TOKEN. Too lazy to put a different solution.
libcpr: Used to send posts and requests to aternos.
cryptopp-cmake: Used to encrypt MD5, required to log in.
libxml2: Used to parse server list.
json: Used for json parsing.

git clone "https://github.com/SuspiciousDuck/aternosapi"
cd aternosapi
mkdir build
cmake -B./build
cmake --build ./build -j$(nproc)
sudo cmake --install ./build

Usage

Include the library in your main file.

#include <aternosapi/Aternos.hpp>

Then, initialize an Aternos object and then login with your credentials. Optionally, you can check if the login succeeded.

Aternos aternos;
aternos.login("username", "password"); // Returns login success and fail message

After this, you're all set. For example, you can use functions like getServers and queryServer in order to get a list of all the servers or retrieve a specific server.

aternos.getServers(); // Returns vector of Aternos::Server objects.
aternos.queryServer("servername"); // Returns std::optional<Aternos::Server>.

Example Program

#include <aternosapi/Aternos.hpp>
#include <iostream>

int main() {
    Aternos aternos;
    auto result = aternos.login("username", "password");
    if (!result.success) { std::cerr << result.reason << "\n"; return 1; }
    for (auto server: aternos.getServers()) {
        std::cout << server.name << "\n";
    }
    auto server = aternos.queryServer("server");
    if (!server.has_value()) return 1;
    std::cout << aternos.serverStatus(server.value()) << "\n";
    return 0;
}

Current features:

• Login to a specific account
• Retrieve all the servers an account has access to
• Get a specific server by name
• Request data from a specific server, like status, address, player count and names
• Can do server actions, like starting and stopping a server

CMake

Currently I haven't made a FindAternos file, so find_package() doesn't work.

find_library() example

# Assuming aternosapi was installed
find_library(aternos_lib NAMES libaternosapi.so PATH_SUFFIXES "aternosapi" REQUIRED)
target_link_libraries(${CMAKE_PROJECT_NAME} PRIVATE ${aternos_lib})
