SE Remote API Reference

The VRage Remote API lets you monitor and manage your Space Engineers dedicated server without joining. Complete endpoint reference plus a curl command builder.

Important: The VRage Remote API is disabled when Torch is running. If you use Torch, use its RCON interface instead. The Remote API only works on vanilla dedicated servers.

Authentication

Default Port

8080 TCP

Open in firewall for external access

Key Length

8 characters

Set in SpaceEngineers-Dedicated.cfg

Auth Method

HMAC-SHA1

Time-sync required — server & client timezones must match

URL format: http://SERVER:8080/vrageremote/v1/endpoint?key=KEY&timestamp=TIMESTAMP&hash=HASH

Curl Command Builder

curl -s "http://your-server-ip:8080/vrageremote/v1/server?key=APIKEY12&timestamp=TIMESTAMP&hash=HMAC_HASH"

Note: You'll need to calculate the HMAC-SHA1 hash and current timestamp in your script. The hash is computed over the endpoint path + timestamp using your API key.
