README

pawn-api

pawn-api is PawnKit's versioned database of SA-MP and open.mp natives, callbacks, constants, and tags. It includes a Go package for querying the data and a CLI for maintaining it.

Tools use this data to answer questions such as whether SetPlayerPos exists for a profile, which parameters it accepts, and whether it is deprecated.

Status

This is a pre-1.0 dataset, not a complete copy of omp-stdlib. It currently has 387 reviewed entries: 268 natives, 45 callbacks, one function, 61 constants, and 12 tags.

Install

go get github.com/pawnkit/pawn-api

Requires Go 1.26 or later.

go install github.com/pawnkit/pawn-api/cmd/pawnapi@latest

Quick start

package main

import (
	"fmt"

	"github.com/pawnkit/pawn-api/pawnapi"
)

func main() {
	ix, err := pawnapi.Load()
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}

	e, ok := ix.ByID("native:SetPlayerPos")
	fmt.Println(ok, e.Name, e.Signature.ReturnTag)

	for _, cb := range ix.ByKind(pawnapi.KindCallback) {
		fmt.Println(cb.Name)
	}

	for _, e := range ix.ByProfile("samp-037") {
		fmt.Println(e.ID, "is available under samp-037")
	}
}

Maintain the dataset

pawnapi validate
pawnapi generate
pawnapi generate --check
pawnapi coverage pawnapi/data/pawn-api.full.json /path/to/omp-stdlib/omp_*.inc

generate --check is intended for CI. It fails when the embedded and interchange files do not match the source data. coverage compares a dataset with declarations extracted from one or more includes. It exits with status 1 when declarations are missing.

Current coverage

Kind	Count	Examples
native	304	SetPlayerPos, Create3DTextLabel, HTTP
callback	45	OnPlayerConnect, OnPlayerEnterGangZone, OnPlayerClickGangZone
function	1	SetTeamCount
constant	63	INVALID_3DTEXT_ID, HTTP_GET, HTTP_ERROR_BAD_HOST
tag	14	Float, Text3D, HTTP_METHOD, HTTP_ERROR

Each entry records its upstream repository, file, commit, licence, and confidence. docs/licence-report.md explains how that provenance is collected.

Limits

• Coverage is concentrated on player and vehicle functions and core lifecycle callbacks. Many omp-stdlib include files are not imported yet.
• At the pinned omp-stdlib commit, 352 of the 1,061 declarations extracted from omp_*.inc have matching entries. The dataset also contains 75 core constants and tags represented differently in the includes.
• pawnapi snapshot accepts full-model JSON or a Pawn include. Include import covers natives, forwards/callbacks, named tags, and literal defines.
• SA-MP availability is reviewed against a pinned 0.3.7 include source.
• Schema version 1 does not contain every field used by the Go model. The gap is listed in docs/compatibility.md.

Third-party library APIs are not bundled here. PawnKit reads them from the project's installed includes, so completion and diagnostics match the version the project actually uses.
