Python implementation for the VRage Remote API by Keen Software House, as documented under [https://www.spaceengineersgame.com/dedicated-servers.html].

Tested with Space Engineers 1.194.083, should work with Medieval Engineers as well.

Can be called via commandline (see below) or imported as module.

Currently, only GET operations are supported. Feel free to submit a Pull Request or an issue.

usage: vrageremoteapi.py [-h] --url URL --key KEY --resource RESOURCE

-h, --help           show this help message and exit
--url URL            of the remote server, e.g. http://localhost:8080
--key KEY            secret key for the remote API, e.g.
                      XKb8xk7vrKaq+BpallYnGA==
--resource RESOURCE  resource to be fetched, e.g. server/ping

The result is presented as JSON string.

For example:

> python3 vrageremoteapi.py --url http://localhost:8080 --key XKb8xk7vrKaq+BpallYnGA== --resource server/ping
{'data': {'Result': 'Pong'}, 'meta': {'apiVersion': '1.0', 'queryTime': 0.3032}}

For demonstration purposes, see spaceengineersmetrics.py, which fetches fetches current information from a given server and puts it into an InfluxDB. Using this, you can keep track of the performance of your server and visualize statistics.

Should be called regularly, i.e. via crontab.

Usage:

python3 spaceengineersmetrics.py --url http://localhost:8080 --key XKb8xk7vrKaq+BpallYnGA== --db_host localhost
