mumble-stats-api

REST API to check who hopped on mumble before hopping yourself

if you, like me, are trying to get off discord's claws, you're probably using mumble

mumble is open source, low-latency, encrypted and cool, but you need to download the native client to check who's up

mumble-web is an awesome project which allows you to join from a web browser (like discord!), but you still need to join to check who's currently on

api to the rescue

introducing mumble-stats-api: a persistent mumble bot which will expose current users on a public API endpoint:

$ curl https://example/net/mumble/api/ping?host=your.mumble.server

{
	"version":"1.5.255",
	"users": 1,
	"max_users": 50,
	"bandwidth": 128000,
	"latency": 42
}

---

$ curl https://example.net/mumble/api/users

[
	{
		"session": 33,
		"actor": 33,
		"name": "your_username",
		"user_id": 1,
		"channel_id": 16,
		"comment": "optional user comment",
		"properties": {
			"mute": false,
			"deaf": false,
			"suppress": false,
			"self_mute": true,
			"self_deaf": false,
			"priority_speaker": false,
			"recording": false
		}
	}
]

live updates

mumble-stats-api also exposes a websocket endpoint on /ws, to receive realtime events about users:

• every time an user is updated, the whole entity is sent as an event
• every time an user leaves the server, an object with {"remove": <id>} is sent

how it works

basically it connects to your server (as bot so it doesn't increase the user count) and sits in any channel (move it freely). it only uses the control channel, no voice is sent or parsed ever.
