Mojang

API

Official API for Mojang/Minecraft player data and service statuses

Overview

The Mojang API provides RESTful endpoints to access Minecraft player information, service health, and account-related data. Key endpoints include UUID lookup by username, profile details (skin/cape URLs), server status checks, and Mojang service availability. Responses are in JSON format. Use cases include integrating Minecraft player profiles into community platforms, verifying user identities, displaying skin previews, and monitoring server uptime for gaming services. It supports public requests (no auth) for most features, with rate limits to ensure fair usage.

Example Integration (JavaScript)

script.js JS


fetch('https://wiki.vg/Mojang_API')
  .then(res => res.json())
  .then(data => console.log(data))
  .catch(err => console.error(err));
