@copilot This is great, but it should also be possible to retrieve information about claims. This will be useful for bridge plugins that display claims on Dynmap, Bluemap, etc. |
Co-authored-by: dmccoystephenson <21204351+dmccoystephenson@users.noreply.github.com>
Added Claims API endpoints to support Dynmap/Bluemap integration. The API now exposes:
Each claim includes world UUID, chunk coordinates (x, z), and faction ID. Added comprehensive documentation in API_USAGE.md with a complete Dynmap integration example showing how to render faction territories as area markers. Commit: b052c46 |

Pull request overview
This PR adds a comprehensive REST API to the Medieval Factions plugin, enabling external integrations with web dashboards, monitoring tools, Discord bots, and mapping plugins like Dynmap/Bluemap. The implementation uses Javalin 5.6.3 as an embedded HTTP server with Jackson for JSON serialization.
- Implements 11 REST endpoints covering factions, players, relationships, and claims data
- Includes comprehensive unit tests (20 tests) verifying controller behavior
- Provides OpenAPI 3.0 specification and detailed usage documentation with 5 integration examples

The API server binds to all network interfaces (0.0.0.0) by default in Javalin, which means the API is accessible from any machine that can reach the server. This poses a security risk since the API has no authentication. Consider adding configuration to bind only to localhost (127.0.0.1) by default, or document this security consideration more prominently in the configuration section.

Fixed. API now binds to 127.0.0.1 (localhost) by default. Added api.host configuration option for controlled external access. Updated documentation with security best practices.

Unused import: java.util.UUID is imported but not used in this file. The UUID conversion is handled by calling toString() on the claim.worldId which is already a UUID.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
The port configuration lacks validation for valid port ranges (1-65535). An invalid port value could cause the server to fail to start with an unclear error. Consider validating the port and logging a clear error message if it's out of range.
| val port = plugin.config.getInt("api.port", 8080) | |
| val port = plugin.config.getInt("api.port", 8080) | |

The stop method logs "REST API server stopped" even when the server was never started (app is null). This could be misleading in logs. Consider only logging the stop message when app is not null.
| app?.stop() | |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
The OpenAPI specification endpoint uses "text/plain" as the content type, but OpenAPI/Swagger specifications in YAML format should use "application/x-yaml" or "text/yaml" for proper client interpretation and tooling support.

Fixed. Changed content type to application/x-yaml for proper client interpretation.

| val faction = factionService.getFaction(player.id) |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
This method performs an N+1 query pattern by calling factionService.getFaction for each player in the list. For large player counts, this could cause significant performance degradation. Consider adding a bulk lookup method to the faction service or caching faction lookups.
| val players = playerService.players.map { player -> | |
| val faction = factionService.getFaction(player.id) | |
| val allPlayers = playerService.players | |
| val playerIds = allPlayers.map { it.id } | |
| val factionsByPlayerId = factionService.getFactionsForPlayers(playerIds) | |
| val players = allPlayers.map { player -> | |
| val faction = factionsByPlayerId[player.id] |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Fixed. Optimized getAll() to build faction membership map upfront, reducing complexity from O(n*m) to O(n+m). The getById() method retains direct lookup as it's appropriate for single player queries.

API_USAGE.md
Outdated
| ## Authentication | ||
|
|
||
| Currently, the API does not require authentication. It is recommended to use this API only in trusted environments or implement additional security measures at the network level (e.g., firewall rules, reverse proxy with authentication). | ||
|

There was a problem hiding this comment.
This documentation explicitly states that the REST API currently has no authentication and recommends relying on "trusted environments" or external network controls, but the API is enabled by default on a configurable port and the implementation exposes all /api/* endpoints without any access control. On servers where the API port is reachable from untrusted networks, an attacker can trivially enumerate factions, players, relationships, and claims using these endpoints without any authentication or authorization. Consider adding built-in application-level protection (e.g., API keys or token-based auth and/or IP allowlisting) and defaulting the HTTP server to bind only to localhost or to be disabled, so administrators are not relying solely on external firewalls or reverse proxies to secure this API.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Fixed. API now binds to 127.0.0.1 (localhost) by default. Added api.host configuration option (defaults to 127.0.0.1). Updated documentation with comprehensive security guidance including recommendations for external access scenarios.

OpenAPI Specification & Client Generation
The OpenAPI 3.0 specification is now stored in
src/main/resources/openapi.yamland loaded at runtime. Dynamic values (version, port) are substituted automatically using placeholders ({{VERSION}},{{PORT}}).Verified Accuracy: The OpenAPI spec has been verified to accurately match all DTO implementations, ensuring generated clients will work correctly.
Client Generation: Developers can use the OpenAPI spec to automatically generate type-safe client libraries for their applications:
See the comprehensive client generation guide in API_USAGE.md for step-by-step instructions with examples in Java, TypeScript, and Python.
Use Case: Dynmap/Bluemap Integration
The Claims API enables bridge plugins to display faction territories on map plugins. The example in API_USAGE.md demonstrates:
