About The Project

asa-query is a powerful and flexible tool designed to query Ark: Survival Ascended servers. It was created to provide a simple yet specific way to retrieve server information. The tool uses a Query Builder structure, allowing users to build complex queries with ease.

Getting Started

Provided below are instructions to initiate and start using asa-query. We assume you have a basic understanding of Node.js, but also try to keep it as "noob" friendly as possible.

Prerequisites

Installation

Begin by installing the asa-query package with your chosen Node package manager

  • npm - npm install asa-query
  • yarn - yarn add asa-query
  • pnpm - pnpm add asa-query

Once you've obtained the package, import it in to your project. This can be done with either imports or require(), depending on how you've setup your project/environment.

import AsaQuery from 'asa-query';

or

const AsaQuery = require('asa-query');

You're now ready to use asa-query!

Usage

Let's take a look at an example usage.

import AsaQuery from 'asa-query';

const query = new AsaQuery();

const main = async () => {
  const res = query.official().serverNameContains("2142").exec();
  console.log(res);
};

main();

In the above example, we're querying for any official servers in which the server name contains the string "2142".

This will return us a sessions array with the matching severs, and a count element, with the total count.

Methods

These are the available methods on the AsaQuery class.

addCriteria

Adds a criterion to the query.

Parameters:

  • key (CriterionKey): The key of the criterion. This corresponds to a specific attribute of a server.
  • op ('EQUAL' | 'NOT_EQUAL' | 'CONTAINS'): The operation to perform on the key. This can be 'EQUAL', 'NOT_EQUAL', or 'CONTAINS'.
  • value (string | number | boolean): The value to compare the key against.
Available keys
  • attributes.MINORBUILDID_s
  • attributes.MODID_l
  • attributes.CUSTOMSERVERNAME_s
  • attributes.ADDRESSDEV_s
  • attributes.ISPRIVATE_l
  • attributes.SERVERPASSWORD_b
  • attributes.MATCHTIMEOUT_d
  • attributes.ENABLEDMODSFILEIDS_s
  • attributes.DAYTIME_s
  • attributes.SOTFMATCHSTARTED_b
  • attributes.STEELSHIELDENABLED_l
  • attributes.SERVERUSESBATTLEYE_b
  • attributes.EOSSERVERPING_l
  • attributes.ALLOWDOWNLOADCHARS_l
  • attributes.OFFICIALSERVER_s
  • attributes.GAMEMODE_s
  • attributes.ADDRESS_s
  • attributes.SEARCHKEYWORDS_s
  • attributes.__EOS_BLISTENING_b
  • attributes.ALLOWDOWNLOADITEMS_l
  • attributes.LEGACY_l
  • attributes.ADDRESSBOUND_s
  • attributes.SESSIONISPVE_l
  • attributes.__EOS_BUSESPRESENCE_b
  • attributes.ENABLEDMODS_s
  • attributes.SESSIONNAMEUPPER_s
  • attributes.SERVERPLATFORMTYPE_s
  • attributes.MAPNAME_s
  • attributes.BUILDID_s
  • attributes.SESSIONNAME_s
  • id
  • bucket
  • totalPlayers
  • openPublicPlayers
  • publicPlayers
  • started
  • lastUpdated
  • owner
  • ownerPlatformId

Returns:

  • The AsaQuery instance, allowing for method chaining.
  • exec() must be called following this in order to return results.

Example:

// Add a criterion for servers with a specific name
query.addCriteria('attributes.SERVERNAME_s', 'EQUAL', 'My Servers Name');
const res = query.exec();

serverName

Filters for an exact server name

Parameters:

  • name (String) - The exact name of the server(s) to return.

Returns:

  • The AsaQuery instance, allowing for method chaining.
  • exec() must be called following this in order to return results.

Example:

// filter for servers with the exact name: "NA-PVP-TheIsland2142"
query.serverName('NA-PVP-TheIsland2142');
const res = query.exec();

serverNameContains

Filters for servers with a name that contains the given string

Parameters:

  • name (String) - The string that exists in the servers name.

Returns:

  • The AsaQuery instance, allowing for method chaining.
  • exec() must be called following this in order to return results.

Example:

// filter for servers with a name containing the text: "2142"
query.serverNameContains('2142');
const res = query.exec();

official

Filters for official servers only.

Parameters:

None

Returns:

  • The AsaQuery instance, allowing for method chaining.
  • exec() must be called following this in order to return results.

Example:

// filter for servers on the official network
query.official();
const res = query.exec();

unofficial

Filters for unofficial servers only.

Parameters:

None

Returns:

  • The AsaQuery instance, allowing for method chaining.
  • exec() must be called following this in order to return results.

Example:

// filter for unofficial servers, not on the official network.
query.unofficial();
const res = query.exec();

serverId

Filters for servers with the given Epic Session (Server) ID.

Parameters:

  • id (string) - The Epic Session/server ID of the server.

Returns:

  • The AsaQuery instance, allowing for method chaining.
  • exec() must be called following this in order to return results.

Example:

// filter for servers with the ID: 69ee7eab580f43eeb904527d439b8fae
query.serverId("69ee7eab580f43eeb904527d439b8fae");
const res = query.exec();

max

Specifies the maximum amount of servers to return, defaults to 10.

Parameters:

  • max (number) - The amount of servers to return.

Returns:

  • The AsaQuery instance, allowing for method chaining.
  • exec() must be called following this in order to return results.

Example:

// filter for servers with a name containing "42"
// limit the response to 100 servers.
query.serverNameContains("42").max(100);
const res = query.exec();

getToken

Allows you to get a custom access_token to use for the authentication instead of using the ones provided by Ark (default)

Parameters:

  • max (number) - The amount of servers to return.
  • client_id (string) - the JWT client ID
  • client_secret (string) - The JWT client secret
  • deployment_id (string) - The deployment ID (ASA servers)
  • api_endpoint (string) - The API endpoint (Epic Games API)

Returns:

  • The AsaQuery instance, allowing for method chaining.
  • exec() must be called following this in order to return results.

Example:

// Returns the server with the specified ID.
// Authenticates the request using the provided credentials
const options = {
  client_id: 'xyza7891muomRmynIIHaJB9COBKkwj6n',
  client_secret: 'PP5UGxysEieNfSrEicaD1N2Bb3TdXuD7xHYcsdUHZ7s',
  deployment_id: 'ad9a8feffb3b4b2ca315546f038c3ae2',
  api_endpoint: 'https://api.epicgames.dev',
};

const res = query
    .getToken(options)
    .serverId("69ee7eab580f43eeb904527d439b8fae");

Roadmap

  • [ ] Add ChangeLog
  • [ ] Add a wider range of pre-baked methods
  • [ ] Provide more criteria operators (Currently only "EQUAL", "CONTAINS", etc...)
