Faster browsing
Wolf Launcher can work from prepared server information instead of making players wait for repeated discovery.
WOLF FORGE INFRASTRUCTURE
THE ENGINE BEHIND
WOLF LAUNCHER.
Behind the server browser in Wolf Launcher is WolfAPI: a dedicated discovery and validation service built to make finding DayZ servers faster, more consistent and less frustrating.
WHY IT EXISTS
Do the searching before the player has to.
Finding a server should not mean asking every player’s computer to repeat the same discovery work. WolfAPI moves that work into the background, collecting and checking server information before Wolf Launcher needs it.
The result is a searchable directory with more consistent information and fewer slow, repeated discovery operations in the launcher itself. It also gives future Wolf Forge projects a shared foundation to build on.
Quietly operational. WolfAPI is maintained by Wolf Forge and primarily exists to support Wolf Launcher. It is internal infrastructure, not a public API product or hosted developer service.

HOW WOLFAPI WORKS
A quiet route from discovery to play.
Each part has one focused job: find information, check it, keep it useful, and make it available to the launcher.
- 01
Discovery
Collects DayZ server information through Steam and A2S discovery mechanisms.
- 02
Validation
Checks observations and maintains an up-to-date picture of the directory.
- 03
PostgreSQL + Redis
Keeps server records and history persistent while making frequently requested information quick to retrieve.
- 04
Wolf Launcher
Turns the prepared information into a practical server browser for players.
WHAT THAT MAKES POSSIBLE
Infrastructure with a human purpose.
Consistent information
Discovery and validation happen in one shared service, giving the launcher a clearer view of the directory.
Room to build
The same foundation may support future Wolf Forge tools without coupling them to the launcher.
BUILT FOR WOLF LAUNCHER
The engine room and the front door.
WolfAPI handles discovery and validation in the background. Wolf Launcher turns that work into the player-facing experience: browsing servers, preparing the required mods and launching the appropriate version of DayZ.

FUTURE POSSIBILITIES
A useful foundation.
Over time, the same infrastructure could help explore server history, statistics, mod compatibility or community information. They are possibilities—not announced features or a public API roadmap.
