Network Storage for s&boxDocumentation
Connect your s&box game, call your backend from the C# library or plain HTTP, and run the server yourself. Generated from the server at 8e7623dda7e37159dc1757b76ad110fad5dd6f11 and the library at 7f77770c81dd6ab84facfa05e9a87010b6f27983.
New: Endpoints can now be written in YAML or JavaScript/TypeScript (more languages planned): a full global environment of shared code, sandboxed on your server. Script endpoints
