  title: Nakama API
  description: >-
    Representative OpenAPI description of the core REST API for Nakama, the
    open-source game and app backend server by Heroic Labs. Nakama's public
    HTTP API is generated by the gRPC-gateway from `api/api.proto` and is
    published upstream as `apigrpc/apigrpc.swagger.json` in the
    heroiclabs/nakama repository. This document reconstructs the primary
    client-facing surface: authentication, accounts and identity linking,
    social (friends and groups), storage, leaderboards and tournaments,
    notifications, and custom RPCs.


    Authentication endpoints are guarded by the server key using HTTP Basic
    auth, where the server key is the username and the password is empty. All
    other endpoints are authorized with the JWT session token returned by an
    authenticate call, sent as `Authorization: Bearer <session_token>`. RPC
    endpoints may alternatively be called server-to-server with an `http_key`
    query parameter.
