Minecraft API with Workers + CoffeeScript
Ashcon Partovi, a computer science and business undergraduate at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada, has developed an API for Minecraft that runs exclusively on Cloudflare Workers. The API is designed to address an essential problem for Minecraft developers: too many APIs with too many restrictions. It requires only 1 HTTP request with no rate limiting and no client-side caching. Partovi's API processes over 400k requests per day from users all around the world, handling approximately 1.8 million fetches per day with a high cache hit rate. The use of Cloudflare Workers has enabled Partovi to solve complex technical problems without worrying about host infrastructure or cloud regions.
