Response

No results yet.

Search returns a resource type and identifier. Use them to request the full Carrack vehicle record.

2

Open one record

Use the resource show route with the identifier from search. Add include to load related data such as ports and components.

Request
curl "https://api.star-citizen.wiki/api/vehicles/carrack?include=ports,components"
Response

For lists, use index routes with filters discovered from the API.

3

Browse with filters

Index routes return paginated lists. Use the filters endpoint to discover supported filter fields and values before building a query. The same pattern is available across vehicles, items, locations, missions, and commodities.

Available facets
curl "https://api.star-citizen.wiki/api/vehicles/filters"
Filtered index
curl -G "https://api.star-citizen.wiki/api/vehicles" \
  --data-urlencode "filter[manufacturer]=Anvil Aerospace"

Same shape for every game resource:

/api/vehicles /api/items /api/locations

/api/missions /api/commodities

Comm-links and Galactapedia follow the same pattern with field filters like filter[title] and filter[content].

Pin game data to a patch: ?version= using /api/game-versions/default.
