Matchmaking

⭐ Matchmaker

Read more about 📗 API, Authentication and Authorization (S2S).

Each matchmaker manages their own private API, separate from your organization's Edgegap API.

Swagger Web UI: deploying a matchmaker will generate an openAPI specification and a convenient web UI. Open the URL in your browser to view and test all API endpoints, and to review payload examples.

💺 Session Seats

If you prefer to Do It Yourself, your Game Backend may integrate Sessions for custom matchmaking.

See ⭐ Matchmaker for managed and secure client-side matchmaking alternative.
