How do I access the API of instances other than ADSInstance through the web?

I want to access the API of one of my Minecraft instances to send console commands to it. If my domain is https://example.com I can access the API of the ADS instance with https://example.com/API/Core/SendConsoleMessage.

I've successfully logged in to the API and tried a bunch of functions, but I don't really know how to access the Minecraft API.

Accessing the Minecraft API through https://example.com/API/Core/SendConsoleMessage?instance=xxx
Using a proxy for https://example.com/Minecraft01 to point localhost:8081 through nginx, but I didn't get it to work.
I can access the Minecraft API through http://192.168.0.254:8081

My last option would be to set up another subdomain (https://minecraft01.example.com) to access the Minecraft instance directly.

Is there any simple way I've missed to access the API of other instances?

It's a slightly ungainly URL but it comes out as:

https://example.com/API/ADSModule/Servers/3deeea2a-cb34-41f8-871b-18e2250b2ca5/API/Core/SendConsoleMessage

Where that GUID is to be replaced with the GUID for that instance ID.

You'll also need to login at that particular instance too using the same method.

Thank you! 🙂

This was exactly what I was looking for. I added a rewrite rule in nginx rule to make it a bit simpler to access

rewrite ^/FriendlyInstanceName/API(.*)$ /API/ADSModule/Servers/INSTANCE_GUID/API$1 permanent;
