Server directory
Search, filter and page through known servers, resolve exact endpoints, and browse the enabled map catalogue.
DISCOVERY INFRASTRUCTURE
WOLF
API
A live discovery layer that turns scattered DayZ server observations into useful, searchable and freshness-aware data.
THE DATA BEHIND DISCOVERY
Useful answers, backed by evidence.
WolfAPI discovers DayZ servers through Steam and adds bounded A2S reachability checks. It keeps canonical history in Postgres, serves fast launcher data from Redis, and exposes freshness and quality signals instead of flattening every observation into a simple online-or-offline guess.
It powers Wolf Launcher’s public server directory and is designed to support other Wolf Forge tools without putting slow upstream lookups in the user’s request path.

CAPABILITIES
Built for changing worlds
Freshness evidence
Separate live, recent, stale, offline and unverified data so consumers can show what the service actually knows.
Required mods
Serve cached server mod manifests and update evidence without triggering unpredictable upstream work during a request.
Durable history
Store canonical server records and source observations in Postgres while Redis keeps the public launcher path fast.
Operational visibility
Health, readiness and protected admin views expose queue depth, coverage, cache state and worker progress.
Careful corrections
Audited operator overrides remain separate from scanner evidence, so a later discovery pass cannot silently erase a correction.
