API

Online Lua 5.1 Decompiler API for Developers

Overview

The Lua Decompiler API enables developers to decompile Lua 5.1 bytecode into readable source code. Key endpoints include a POST /decompile endpoint that accepts bytecode (as base64 string or file upload) and returns decompiled Lua scripts. Responses are JSON-formatted, containing either the decompiled code or error details for invalid inputs. Use cases include recovering lost source code from compiled Lua files, analyzing third-party scripts for debugging, or integrating decompilation into IDEs, build tools, or reverse-engineering workflows.

Example Integration (JavaScript)

script.js JS


fetch('https://lua-decompiler.ferib.dev/')
  .then(res => res.json())
  .then(data => console.log(data))
  .catch(err => console.error(err));
