Overview

The Reseam API is a small server behind api.reseam.app. It tells Reseam Manager and the website which releases exist, where to download them, and what announcements to show. It also holds patch requests and their votes. You only need these pages to run your own instance.

It does four things:

• Release indexes. It fetches one patches.json and one manager.json, checks them, caches them, and serves them as is. Clients pick the release they want from the index, stable or prerelease.
• Download links. /patches/<tag>/<file> and /manager/<tag>/<file> redirect to where the files are hosted, so clients keep working when hosting moves.
• Announcements. Short messages stored in SQLite. Anyone can read them; writing needs an admin token.
• Requests. Patch requests anyone can post and vote on without an account. See Requests.

It never opens a bundle or runs patch code. Bundles from other publishers don't go through it: Reseam Manager reads their patches.json directly.
