In the following list, the required parameters are described first.

Endpoints

List of connection endpoints for the game client. Your game client uses these IP address(es) and port(s) to connect to the game session.

When player gateway is enabled, these are relay endpoints with benefits such as DDoS protection. When disabled, this is the game server endpoint.

Type: Array of PlayerConnectionEndpoint objects

Required: No

Expiration

When player gateway is enabled, this is the timestamp indicating when player gateway token expires. Your game backend should call GetPlayerConnectionDetails to retrieve fresh connection information for your game clients before this time. Format is a number expressed in Unix time as milliseconds (for example "1469498468.057").

This value is empty when player gateway is disabled.

Type: Timestamp

Required: No

PlayerGatewayToken

Access token that your game client must prepend to all traffic sent through player gateway. Player gateway verifies identity and authorizes connection based on this token.
