Geyser Global API
The Global API is available for every server. It currently includes: Global Linking, skin uploading, getting a xuid by gamertag, and getting a gamertag by xuid. We don’t store anything else than you can access by the Global API, except for some non-identifiable metrics. The source code of the Global API is available here and the source code of the Global Linking server is available here.
As a user of the API, you can get various info about Geyser (or specifically, Floodgate players) that joined any Geyser + Floodgate server before. This includes:
- Conversion methods from a Bedrock gamertag to Bedrock xuid, and vice-versa. Only provides info for players who are in Geyser’s cache.
If you need them for all players, you can use a third-party API, e.g. https://mcprofile.io/endpoints, which also provides info from the Geyser Global API. - Skin info: Whenever a Bedrock player joins via Floodgate, their skin gets converted & uploaded to mineskin. If you want to grab that converted skin, use the xuid of the Bedrock player in this endpoint to get a texture id, or a base64 encoded “value”, which you could use directly in e.g. player heads.
See the Global API docs for more info, and detailed usage.
Examples
Here are a few examples of how you could use the Global API.
- GeyserMC’s discord bot has a /uuid command to get a floodgate uuid from a bedrock username.
- A fabric mod that uses the Global API to get a Bedrock player’s skin, and then uses that to create a player head.
