Tech

APIEvolved uses a number of open source projects to work properly:

  • Express - serving the API calls
  • ArkData - Parsing Tribe / Player data.
  • edge - interface C# with ArkData.
  • GameDig - doing parts of the Queries.
  • cron - Scheduled jobs
  • ini - reading the Game Configuration files
  • simple-rcon - rcon protocol (skibz/prestonp fork)
  • portscanner - used to check rcon protocol port.
  • moment - for dates
  • socket.io - real-time chat log
  • request - used to call ARK.Bar API
  • winston - logging

And of course APIEvolved itself is open source with a public repository on GitHub.
