The AddonScript API

The Index Endpoint

GET {base URL}

The index endpoint can be used to get basic information about which API versions an API instance implements. The response object of this endpoint contains a versions property, which is an array containing all API versions available on this instance.

Example response body:

{
    "versions": ["v2"]
}

GET {base URL}/{API version}

Each API version also has an index endpoint with information specifically about that version. The response of that index MAY differ across different API versions. If an API version is not implemented on an instance, the corresponding index endpoint MUST return a 400 Bad Request or 404 Not Found status code.

API Version v2:

This version of the AddonScript specification only specifies API version v2, which is currently the only existing version.

GET {base URL}/v2

The v2 version index endpoint can be used to retrieve the API features supported by this API instance on version v2. The response object of this endpint contains a features property, which is an array containing all API features supported on this instance. It also contains a manifest_version property, which is the latest manifest version available on this API instance. This version MUST be part of AddonScript major version 2. The manifest version of all manifests (and other objects using the manifest version), returned by enpoints of this API version on this instance, MUST be equal or less than this property, but MUST also be part of AddonScript major version 2 (manifest version must be greater or equal to 2). If a client does not support the manifest version returned by this endpoint, it SHOULD try to request addons from other API instances, as this instance MAY return manifests which are unsupported by the client.

Example response body:

{
    "features": ["addons", "env", "com.example.customfeature"],
    "manifest_version": 2
}

Features

API features can be either part of the specification itself or are specified by third parties. Third-party API features SHOULD be in a namespace-like format (reversed domain name).

These API features are part of the AddonScript specification itself:
