As of 25w37a, the Server Management Protocol API requires the client to supply an Authorization bearer token header with a server specific secret.

I have obtained the server secret, but I cannot seem to establish a connection without it dropping. How do I correctly supply the secret?

I should note that my code works in the previous snapshot without the need for auth, so I think the problem is I am trying to authorize incorrectly.

I am trying to connect to my server's management api, but I am unsure how to authorize the client connection thats required as of 25w37a
When they first released the api there were a couple people experimenting with it but I have not found any examples since they've added auth

How did you do your auth?

if it helps, this is how i connected via wscat


wscat -c ws://localhost:6969 -H "Authorization: Bearer (40chartokengoeshere)"
auth token has to be 40 char
Barbary LionOP
yea mine is 40, I think it needs a different header format or something

i believe it has to be "bearer"
im not too versed in this but the command works for me
@Yakutian Laika i believe it has to be "bearer"

What are your plans with it?

I currently have a discord bot that can start/stop my minecraft server. I am going to modify it to connect to the api and announce when a player joins and leaves in a text channel. And if I feel motivated I will add extra functionality for more of the api calls.
Using the api I could track the list of current players and display it in an embed in discord
