RustyHearts-API is a Node.js-based REST API that enables authentication, billing, and launcher functionalities for Rusty Hearts.

The API consists of three independent servers (Auth API, Billing API and Launcher API) running on different ports.

API region support

The api currently only support the usa (PWE) region.

• usa (PWE) - Full api support
• chn (Xunlei) - Only launcher support

Server Descriptions

• The Auth API is responsible for in-game authentication, while the Billing API manages the shop's zen balance and purchases. It is essential to bind the Auth/Billing API only to a local IP address and prevent external access to these APIs.
• The Launcher API is a web server intended to handle the client connection to the gateserver and for the Rusty Hearts Launcher, which handles registration, login, client updates, and processing static elements (public directory). This API must be accessible from the outside and proxied by Nginx or bound to an external IP.

Public folder description

Launcher self-update

In order for the launcher to automatically update itself, you need to use the launcher_info.ini in the launcher_update directory of the api. This file specifies the version of the launcher. After each update of the launcher, you need to change the version in the ini, as well in the launcher executable file.

Client download

In order to create client download, you need to use the client directory of the api. The tool for creating the client files is available in the repository: https://github.com/JuniorDark/RustyHearts-MIPTool

Client patch

In order to create client patches, you need to use the patch directory of the api. The tool for creating the patch files is available in the repository: https://github.com/JuniorDark/RustyHearts-MIPTool

Available endpoints

The api provides the following endpoints:

Endpoint	Method	Arguments	Description
/serverApi/auth	POST	XML with account, password, game and IP	Authenticates a user game login based on their account information and sends an XML response with their user ID, user type, and success status. If authentication fails, it sends an XML response with a failure status.
/serverApi/billing	POST	XML with currency-request or item-purchase-request and associated arguments	Handles billing requests. For currency requests, it retrieves the user's Zen balance from the database and sends an XML response with the balance. For item purchase requests, it deducts the cost of the item from the user's Zen balance and logs the transaction in the database. If the transaction is successful, it sends an XML response with the success status. If the transaction fails, it sends an XML response with a failure status and an error message.
/serverApi/gateway	GET		Returns an XML response containing the IP address and port number of the gateway server.
/serverApi/gateway/info	GET		Returns an response containing the gateway endpoint. Used by the chn region.
/serverApi/gateway/status	GET		Checks the status of the gateway server by attempting to establish a connection to the server. Returns a JSON object with the status of the server (online or offline) and an HTTP status code indicating the success or failure of the connection attempt.
/accountApi/register	POST	windyCode, email, password	Create a new account with the provided windyCode, email, and password. The password is first combined with the windyCode to create an MD5 hash, which is then salted and hashed again using bcrypt before being stored in the database. An email confirmation is sent to the provided email address, and a success or error message is returned.
/accountApi/login	POST	account, password	Authenticates a user account in the launcher by username or email address and password. Return a token if the authentication is successful (token is currently unsued).
