Available built-in entity types

  • Articolo

This topic describes the available entity types that you can use to construct an EntityKey.

Entity keys identify entities in most of the newer API methods.

You use the value of the EntityKey.Type field to determine the type of value to set in the ID field.

Note

Entity keys are case sensitive.

namespace

The namespace entity refers to all global information for all titles within your studio.

Note

Changes to this entity are not reflected in real time.

Set the ID field to your game's Publisher ID. To retrieve your Publisher ID:

  • Sign in to Game Manager.
  • In the upper left-hand corner of Game Manager, select the gear icon.
  • Select Title Settings.
  • Select API Features.
  • The Publisher ID is displayed in the API ACCESS section.

title

The title entity refers to all global information for that title.

Note

Changes to this entity are not reflected in real time.

Set the ID field to your game's Title ID. To retrieve the Title ID:

  • Sign in to Game Manager.
  • In the upper left-hand corner of Game Manager, select the gear icon.
  • Select Title Settings.
  • Select API Features.
  • The Title ID is displayed in the API ACCESS section.

master_player_account

The master_player_account is a player entity that is shared by all titles within your studio.

Set the ID field to the LoginResult.PlayFabId from the classic API. To retrieve the LoginResult, call one of the login methods in Client Authentication.

title_player_account

For most developers, title_player_account represents the player in the most traditional way.

Set the ID field to LoginResult.EntityToken.Entity.Id in the client API, or GetEntityTokenResponse.Entity.Id in the authentication API.

To retrieve the LoginResult, call one of the login methods in Client Authentication. To retrieve the GetEntityTokenResponse, call Get Entity Token.

character

The character entity is a sub-entity of title_player_account, and is a direct mirror of Characters in the Classic APIs.

Set the ID field to any characterId from result.Characters[i].CharacterId.

group

The group entity is a container for other entities. It's currently limited to players and characters.

Set the ID field to the result.Group.Id if you're creating a group, or the result.Groups[i].Group.Id when listing your memberships.

game_server

The game_server entity is a unique entity used by game servers primarily for use in the Matchmaking and Lobby features. Future scenarios may be added to support other PlayFab features.

This entity gives game servers their own identity which is useful to uniquely identify them for subscribing to real-time updates for Matchmaking and Lobby, as well as supporting specific features like Lobby owner migration.

To authenticate as a game_server entity, call the API AuthenticateGameServerWithCustomId as a title entity and retrieve the game_server entity key and token pair. Use this entity key when using the PlayFab Multiplayer SDK with PFMultiplayerSetEntityToken.
