This short post explains how to utilize RumbleTalk\u2019s Web Service<\/strong> to get your room\u2019s current server.

Chats are associated with a specific server. Normally, server numbers are constant but in some cases, servers are being changed (attach, upgrade, beta, new features, etc).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We use the publicly available path:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

https:\/\/rumbletalk.com\/client\/service.php<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, append to it the ?hash=<\/strong> parameter with the room\u2019s public id (AKA the chat\u2019s hash) , e.g., https:\/\/rumbletalk.com\/client\/service.php?hash=B4akfG9R<\/a>
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The web service has an open CORS policy and can be accessed directly from the browser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The response will be a JSON of the following structure:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

{
“status”: boolean,
“address”: string
}<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where \u201cstatus\u201d is true<\/strong> if the room has an assigned server; i.e. the room exists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, the address will be the assigned server\u2019s domain; e.g., “service9.rumbletalk.net”
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using the result, you can then display the room in, e.g., an iframe built in PHP like so:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<?php
$hash = ‘YOUR_HASH_HERE’;
$response = file_get_contents(“https:\/\/rumbletalk.com\/client\/service.php?hash={$hash}<\/strong>“);
$response = json_decode($response, true);
?>
<iframe src=”https:\/\/<?= $response[‘address’] ?>\/<?= $hash ?>\/”><\/iframe>
