## Resources
* [How the Minetest client uses the API](https://github.com/minetest/contentdb/blob/master/docs/minetest_client.md)
## Responses and Error Handling
If there is an error, the response will be JSON similar to the following with a non-200 status code:
```json
{
"success": false,
"error": "The error message"
}
```
Successful GET requests will return the resource's information directly as a JSON response.
Other successful results will return a dictionary with `success` equaling true, and
often other keys with information. For example:
```js
{
"success": true,
"release": {
/* same as returned by a GET */
}
}
```
### Paginated Results
Some API endpoints returns results in pages. The page number is specified using the `page` query argument, and
the number of items is specified using `num`
The response will be a dictionary with the following keys:
* `page`: page number, integer from 1 to max
* `per_page`: number of items per page, same as `n`
* `page_count`: number of pages
* `total`: total number of results
* `urls`: dictionary containing
* `next`: url to next page
* `previous`: url to previous page
* `items`: array of items
## Authentication
Not all endpoints require authentication, but it is done using Bearer tokens:
```bash
curl https://content.minetest.net/api/whoami/ \
-H "Authorization: Bearer YOURTOKEN"
```
Tokens can be attained by visiting [Settings > API Tokens](/user/tokens/).
* GET `/api/whoami/`: JSON dictionary with the following keys:
* `is_authenticated`: True on successful API authentication
* `username`: Username of the user authenticated as, null otherwise.
* 4xx status codes will be thrown on unsupported authentication type, invalid access token, or other errors.

```

```bash
# Edit package

The resolutions returned may change in the future, and we may move to a more capable thumbnail generation.
