# Discovery API v1
The API stores public room advertisements as short-lived leases. It does not proxy or relay game
traffic. NETfishing continues to connect to the returned host and UDP port through ENet.
All request and response bodies use `application/json`. Production clients must use HTTPS.
## `GET /health`
Returns service status and the number of active, unexpired room leases.
## `GET /v1/rooms`
Lists active rooms. Optional exact-match filters:
- `game_version`
- `protocol_version`
The response contains `rooms` and the server's `ttl_seconds`.
## `POST /v1/rooms`
Creates a room lease. The service derives the advertised address from the connection rather than
trusting an address supplied by the game client.
```json
{
"room_name": "Pond Friends",
"port": 7777,
"current_players": 0,
"max_players": 8,
"game_version": "0.6.4-alpha",
"protocol_version": 3
}
```
`current_players` may be zero for an empty dedicated server. A player-hosted
room normally includes its host in this count.
The `201` response includes the public `room` and a secret `lease_token`. The host retains that
token only for the current hosting session.
The service applies configured global and per-observed-address active-room limits. Exceeding one
returns `429 room_limit`; expired leases stop counting automatically.
## `PUT /v1/rooms/{room_id}`
Renews and updates a room lease. Send the complete room payload and:
```text
Authorization: Bearer <lease_token>
```
Hosts should heartbeat well before the configured TTL, initially every 15 seconds for a 45-second
lease. A missing heartbeat causes automatic removal without requiring a disconnect callback.
## `DELETE /v1/rooms/{room_id}`
Removes a room immediately. Requires the same bearer token. A clean host shutdown should call this,
but TTL expiry remains authoritative for crashes and lost connectivity.
## Error shape
```json
{
"error": {
"code": "invalid_room",
"message": "port must be between 1 and 65535"
}
}
```
## Trust boundary
- The observed source IP is authoritative for a room's public address.
- `X-Forwarded-For` is honored only when the immediate peer belongs to an explicitly configured
trusted proxy CIDR.
- Lease tokens authorize update and deletion but are never included in public listings.
- The service is an ephemeral directory, not a source of gameplay authority.
