POST (/serviceconfigs/{scid}/batch)
Creates a batch query on multiple Xbox user IDs for the service configuration.
Important:
This method is used by the 2015 Multiplayer and applies only to that multiplayer version and later. It is intended for use with template contract 104/105 or later, and requires a header element of X-Xbl-Contract-Version: 104/105 or later on every request.
Remarks
This HTTP/REST method creates batch queries on multiple Xbox user IDs at the service configuration ID (SCID) level. This method can be wrapped by Microsoft.Xbox.Services.Multiplayer.MultiplayerService.GetSessionsForUsersFilterAsync.
For 2015 Multiplayer, you can combine many queries into a single call if all the queries are the same but dealing with different Xbox user IDs (XUIDs), as represented in the xuid query string parameter. Note that the query string parameters, and the responses, are the same for regular queries and batch queries.
For a batch query, the sessions belonging to each XUID are written to the response in the same order as the xuid parameters are presented in the request. It is possible for the same session to appear multiple times in the response, once for each xuid that it matches.
URI parameters
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| scid | GUID | Service configuration identifier (SCID). Part 1 of the session identifier. |
Query string parameters
A query can be modified using the query string parameters in the next table.
| Parameter | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| keyword | string | A keyword, for example, "foo", that must be found in sessions or templates if they are to be retrieved. |
| xuid | 64-bit unsigned integer | The Xbox user ID, for example, "123", for sessions to include in the query. By default, the user must be active in the session for it to be included. |
| reservations | boolean | True to include sessions for which the user is set as a reserved player but has not joined to become an active player. This parameter is only used when querying your own sessions, or when querying a specific user's sessions server-to-server. |
| inactive | boolean | True to include sessions that the user has accepted but is not actively playing. Sessions in which the user is "ready" but not "active" count as inactive. |
| private | boolean | True to include private sessions. This parameter is only used when querying your own sessions, or when querying a specific user's sessions server-to-server. |
| visibility | string | Visibility state for the sessions. Possible values are defined by the MultiplayerSessionVisibility. If this parameter is set to "open", the query should include only open sessions. If it is set to "private", the private parameter must be set to true. |
| version | 32-bit signed integer | The maximum session version that should be included. For example, a value of 2 specifies that only sessions with a major session version of 2 or less should be included. The version number must be less than or equal to the request's contract version mod 100. |
| take | 32-bit signed integer | The maximum number of sessions to retrieve. This number must be between 0 and 100. |
Setting either private or reservations to true requires server-level access to the session. Alternatively, these settings require the caller's XUID claim to match the XUID filter in the URI. Otherwise, the HTTP/403 status code is returned, whether or not any such sessions actually exist.
HTTP status codes
The service returns an HTTP status code as it applies to MPSD.
Request body
{ "xuids": [ "1234", "5678" ] }
Response body
The return from this method is a JSON array of session references, with some session data included inline.
{
"results": [ {
"xuid": "9876", // If the session was found from a xuid, that xuid.
"startTime": "2009-06-15T13:45:30.0900000Z",
"sessionRef": {
"scid": "foo",
"templateName": "bar",
"name": "session-seven"
},
"accepted": 4, // Approximate number of non-reserved members.
"status": "active", // or "reserved" or "inactive". This is the state of the user in the session, not the session itself. Only present if the session was found using a xuid.
"visibility": "open", // or "private", "visible", or "full"
"joinRestriction": "local", // or "followed". Only present if 'visibility' is "open" or "full" and the session has a join restriction.
"myTurn": true, // Not present is the same as 'false'. Only present if the session was found using a xuid.
